## Short answer

Use QA32 for the list of inspection lots, QE51N or QE03 for recorded results, the QM information system (for example QM12) and QGC2 for evaluations of characteristics over time, and QA11 or QAVE for usage decisions. If none fits, read the tables QALS, QAMV, QAMR and QAVE directly.

## Steps

### Choose the right report for the question

**Items:**

Which lots exist and in what state: run QA32 (Inspection Lot List), select by plant, material, date, status and origin, and use the layout to add columns such as inspection quantity and usage decision code.

What results were recorded for a lot: use QE03 (Display Results) or open the lot in QA33 and navigate to results; QE51N shows the worklist of characteristics still to be recorded.

How a characteristic behaves over time (MIC history): run a characteristic evaluation from the QM information system, such as QM12 where it is available in your menu, or build a control chart in QGC2.

What decisions were taken: open the usage decision list from QA32 with the decision code column, or use the quality score evaluations for scores by vendor or material.

Which vendors or materials have most defects: use the quality notification list IQM1 together with the defect catalog codes.

If a standard report does not give the layout you need, create a query or a CDS-based report on the tables below, or export from QA32 to spreadsheet.

Save selection variants for each recurring report so the quality team runs the same selection each time.

## Sections

### The core tables behind every QM report

**Body:**

All standard QM reporting reads a small set of tables. QALS is the inspection lot header with material, plant, origin, inspection type, quantities and status flags. QAMV holds the specification of each characteristic in the lot, QAMR the recorded results per characteristic, QASR the results per sample unit, and QAVE the usage decision. QMEL is the quality notification header.

Knowing this lets you debug a report that disagrees with the screen: if QE03 shows a result and your report does not, the report is usually filtering on a status or reading the wrong lot origin. Join QALS to QAMV on PRUEFLOS (inspection lot) and to QAMR on PRUEFLOS and VORGLFNR (operation sequence) and MERKNR (characteristic number).

**Code:**

- QALS  PRUEFLOS, MATNR, WERK, ART, LOSMENGE, ENSTEHDAT
- QAMV  PRUEFLOS, VORGLFNR, MERKNR, VERWMERKM (master characteristic), SOLLWERT, TOLERANZOB, TOLERANZUN
- QAMR  PRUEFLOS, VORGLFNR, MERKNR, MITTELWERT (mean), ORIGINALWERT (result)
- QAVE  PRUEFLOS, VCODE (decision code), VDATUM, VNAME

### Result recording and why results look missing

**Body:**

Results are recorded in QE01 (by lot and operation) or in QE51N (worklist). Reports only see results that have been saved with a valid status; characteristics that were skipped or that are still in recording show as open. If a report seems empty, check the lot is in status REL or later and that the characteristic was set up for results recording.

Qualitative characteristics store a code selection rather than a numeric value, so they cannot feed an SPC chart. Only quantitative characteristics appear with mean values in QAMR and are suitable for statistical evaluation.

### MIC reports and evaluations over time

**Body:**

A master inspection characteristic (MIC) report answers how a specific characteristic has performed across lots, plants or vendors. The quality control chart functions (QGC1 and QGC2) work from the same data. Choose the characteristic, the time window and the chart type, and the system builds the chart from the results in QAMR.

For compliance exports such as a certificate of analysis or a goods receipt record, check whether your release has a quality certificate function (QC20 and QC21 are the usual quality certificate transactions) before building a custom report.

### Custom reports and S/4HANA options

**Body:**

If the standard output does not match, an ABAP query (SQ01), an SE16N export or a CDS view on QALS, QAMV and QAMR is faster than modifying a standard report. In S/4HANA, check the Fiori apps catalog for quality inspection and results analysis apps, which can replace a number of classic list transactions depending on the release.

## Pitfalls

- Reporting on QALS alone and counting lots rather than characteristics, which hides which attribute failed.
- Including cancelled lots in statistics because the status filter was left open.
- Mixing quantitative and qualitative characteristics in one chart.
- Using screenshots as quality records instead of the saved results in QAMR, which break when a lot is reset.
- Assuming a transaction code in your menu is the same as in a different release; verify the menu path.

## Ai Angle

Quality managers often know the question but not the tcode. A grounded assistant can translate a plain question such as which lots failed dimension A this quarter, show the table query it ran against QALS, QAMV and QAMR, and return the table. It reads on-prem under existing QM roles, and leaves any change to the people who own the records.

## Faq

### Which tcode shows inspection results in SAP QM?

**Answer:** QE03 displays recorded results for a lot, QE51N is the results worklist, and QA32 lists the lots themselves. For trends over time, use the QM information system evaluations or a control chart in QGC2.

### What tables store SAP QM inspection results?

**Answer:** Results are in QAMR at characteristic level and QASR at sample level. QALS holds the lot header, QAMV the characteristic specification and QAVE the usage decision. Join them on the inspection lot number PRUEFLOS.

### How do I report on a master inspection characteristic?

**Answer:** Use a characteristic evaluation from the QM information system or build a control chart in QGC1 and QGC2 for the characteristic. Both read the recorded values in QAMR across the selected lots and period.

### Why does my QM report not show results I entered?

**Answer:** Typically the results were not saved, the lot is not released, the selection excludes the lot origin or status, or the characteristic is qualitative and the report expects numeric values. Compare with QE03 for the same lot.
