The quality level is a core component of the Dynamic Modification Rule (DMR) in SAP Quality Management. It tracks the quality history to dynamically adjust the inspection scope. The system updates the quality level at two specific events in the inspection process. The first update occurs upon the creation of an inspection lot, where the system determines the current inspection stage. The second, and more impactful, update happens when the usage decision is made. The outcome of the usage decision (e.g., acceptance or rejection) provides the result that determines the next inspection stage, thereby updating the quality level for future inspections.

A. Creating a quality notification is a process for recording and managing defects; it does not directly trigger an update to the quality level for dynamic modification.

D. Creating a quality certificate is an output function to provide quality assurance documentation to a customer and is not an event that updates the internal quality level.

"Update of the Quality Level": "The system updates the quality level at the following two events:

When an inspection lot is created

When the usage decision is made for an inspection lot"

(This source directly confirms that both creating an inspection lot and making a usage decision are the triggers for updating the quality level.)

2. SAP S/4HANA Help Portal

Quality Management (QM)

"Dynamic Modification Rule": "The system determines the inspection stage for the new inspection lot on the basis of the quality level. [...] When the usage decision for the inspection lot is made

the system updates the quality level on the basis of the rules defined for the stage change."

(This documentation clarifies the role of both events: lot creation uses the quality level

and the usage decision updates it.)
