LabWare LIMS has a certified interface to the SAP Quality Module using the API (QM-IDI). A high level of integration is achieved by a robust bi-directional communications link that ensures data integrity. The advantage of the certified interface is that it provides a customer independent integration between the two systems.
SAP/R3, tracks manufactured lots of material that may require testing during manufacture and for release. LabWare LIMS' Lot Manager has been specifically interfaced to the SAP/R3 Quality Manager module. The SAP QM module drives the creation of new Lots in LIMS. Once the testing is complete, Lot Manager passes a "Usage Decision" for the Lot back to SAP.
Specifications can be held in SAP as the master and downloaded to LIMS with the lot, results recorded and sent to SAP. The disposition is recorded and sent to SAP.
Alternatively, Specifications are held in LIMS and the lot downloaded. Results are recorded and not sent to SAP. The disposition is recorded and sent to SAP.
Materials can be set up for quality inspection for an inspection type; 01 purchase orders, 03 process orders in process, 04 process orders post process and other custom types.
