The quality score in SAP S/4HANA Quality Management reflects the quality performance of an inspection lot, calculated at the usage decision (UD) stage. This score can influence subsequent processes, such as supplier evaluation. The procedure for its calculation is defined as follows:
* Usage Decision Code (A): The quality score calculation procedure is assigned to the usage decision codes in Customizing (SPRO > Quality Management > Quality Inspection > Usage Decision > Define Quality Score Procedure). Each UD code (e.g., "Accepted," "Rejected") can have a specific score or formula linked to it, determining how the system computes the score based on inspection results. This is the correct and standard location for this setting.
* Procurement Data in the Quality Management View of the Material Master (B): This area (transaction MM02, QM view) contains settings like inspection type or control keys but does not define the quality score calculation procedure.
* Quality Info Record: Procurement (C): The quality info record (transaction QI01/QI02) manages supplier-specific QM settings (e.g., release status), but it does not configure the quality score calculation procedure.
* Inspection Type Settings in the Material Master (D): Inspection type settings (e.g., 01 for goods receipt) in the material master activate QM processes but do not define the score calculation logic.
Thus, "Usage decision code" is the correct answer, as it directly ties the score calculation to the UD process.
