The Document Management System (DMS) in SAP S/4HANA allows users to link documents (e.g., PDFs, drawings, or instructions) to various objects to provide additional context or instructions. In Quality Management, certain basic data objects support this integration natively:
Inspection Methods (A): Inspection methods define how an inspection is performed (e.g., a test procedure). You can assign DMS documents to inspection methods to provide detailed instructions or reference materials (e.g., a calibration guide). This is configured in the inspection method master data (transaction QK01/QK02) where a document link field is available.
Master Inspection Characteristics (D): Master inspection characteristics (MICs) define what is being inspected (e.g., length, weight). DMS documents can be assigned to MICs to include specifications, diagrams, or tolerances directly in the master data (transaction QS21/QS23). This is a standard feature to enhance inspection planning and execution.
Codes from Code Groups (B): Codes and code groups are used for qualitative valuations (e.g., defect types). They do not have a direct field for DMS document assignment in their master data (transaction QS41/QS51), making this option incorrect.
Sampling Procedures (C): Sampling procedures determine how samples are drawn (e.g., fixed sample size). While critical to inspection planning, they do not support direct DMS document assignment in standard SAP configuration (transaction QDV1/QDV2).
Thus, the correct answers are "Inspection methods" and "Master inspection characteristics," as both support DMS integration without additional customization.References: SAP Help Portal - "Document Management in QM"; SAP S/4HANA QM Configuration Guide - "Basic Data for Quality Management".
