• Key Concepts: 
  SLC-QUA Supplier Qualification is a component of SAP that allows companies to evaluate and qualify their suppliers. It helps companies to ensure that their suppliers meet the necessary requirements and standards for quality, safety, and reliability. The term “in process” refers to the status of a supplier’s qualification process. It indicates that the supplier is currently being evaluated and has not yet been approved or rejected. 
  
  How to use it: 
  To use SLC-QUA Supplier Qualification, companies must first create a profile for each of their suppliers. This profile should include information such as the supplier’s contact information, product offerings, and any relevant certifications or qualifications. Once the profile is created, the company can then initiate the qualification process by submitting a request to the supplier. The supplier will then be evaluated based on the criteria set by the company. Once the evaluation is complete, the supplier will either be approved or rejected. If approved, the supplier will be marked as “in process” until all necessary paperwork is completed and the supplier is officially qualified. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When creating a profile for a supplier, it is important to include as much information as possible. This will help ensure that all necessary criteria are met during the qualification process. Additionally, it is important to keep track of all suppliers who are “in process” so that they can be monitored and updated as needed.
