Quality Certificate for Goods Receipt

Use
When you procure goods from a vendor, you can request that the vendor submit a quality certificate with
the shipment of goods (in addition to meeting the requirements specified in the technical delivery terms
and quality assurance agreement). If you request a quality certificate, you can monitor the receipt of the
certificate independently of the goods receipt posting, regardless of whether an inspection lot is created or
not. The certificate can be filed in the optical archive. If a certificate is yet to be delivered, a reminder can
be created automatically.
