Automatic inspection lot creation

I am working in Pharma industry,
For each material they have maintained certain validity period till date the material can be used or issued to production. now is there any way dat once the retest date is occured, the material should automatically create inspection lot & status should be under Quality Inspection in MMBE Stock.

For this you have to activate the recurring inspection 09 insp type for the materials.
Once the retest date or the expiry date is reached, you can run the transaction QA07 which will trigger the creation of inspection lots for materials which reached the retest date. Or you can schedule this to execute in background every night or weekly which will trigger creation of inspection lot automatically.
please refer to the links below -

Automatic inspection lot creation upon reaching the next inspection date

Hi qm experts,
I have this scenario; my client wants to make an automatic inspection lot creation as well as posting to quality inspection stock of certain materials upon reaching its next inspection date defined in the msc2n transaction; how shall i make the inspection set-up of this materials??Thanks
Regards,
Matildo, Edsel F.

Ok, you have me confused. You want to do this as a one time thing? I thought you want it to look every day, or every week, for batches that have reached their next inspection date?
If its a one time thing, then yes, just run QA07 one time. It only looks at unrestricted inventory. Do not set up any parameters in the bottom half of the screen for expiration date. If you do, any of those that have reached expiration date will be moved to blocked stock and no inspection lots created.
If you want this to run regularly, you, or someone, needs to use QA05 to set up the batch job to run on a regular basis witht the approriate "days" value for how often your running it and how far in advance of the inspection date you want lots created. And of course tick on "to inspection stock".
There is no "automatic creation" as I think your thinking. You either run QA07 once a day, or once a week or as often as you want to. OR you set it up in a batch job (QA05) to be run once a day, once a week or as often as you want to.
When the batch job is running, it 'appears' that the lots get created automatically. But it is the QA07 program being run in batch that is creating them.

Automatic Inspection Lot Creation for HUs (storage Loc.) in WHS

Hi All,
can someone guide me through customizing/with end result expected from client. How can I setup this configuration.
The requirement is all Chem.Raw Materilas are subject to Quality inspection with HU managed storage Loc. with WMS.
Good Receipt is posted Via Vl31n into Quality Stock. Subsequently a Transfer Order will be created & confirmed to transfer of materials from 902 interim storage type to destination storage type and bin. (due to lack of space in the Whse).
Now expected is that when Usage decision made (Quality Managment) the stock type should change from Q to Unresticted within the same bin and same storage type and material should be made available to issue for orders.
Also when GR is done 101 mvt. an inspection lot should generate automatically in Whse under the quant.
Most appreciate your help.
Regards
Chandra

Hi Chandra,
Generally WM movement type '309' is assigned for posting change (Sap standard setting). This movement type is generally assigned against 321 IM movement type.
Modify the settings for WM movement type '309' as below:
Path: LE -> WM -> Activities -> Transfers -> Define Movement types
- Automatic TO X (activate)
- Activate 'To item can be confirmed immediately'
- Activate 'propose confirmation'
- Activate 'post to same bin'
This should solve your problem.
On your other question
Generally the inspection lot is assosiated with the WM
stock and Quant if the stock Quality stock is posted to bins directly.
Please display the Quant using LS23 and let me know your findings.

Inspection Lot Creation after GR

Dear PP/QM Masters,
I have question regarding inspection lot creation after goods receipt.
There will be GR once at the end of the shift with batch number. As batch generated during shift will be different, there will be multiple GR entry. But for every material only one result recording per shift is required and not for all batches generated. So, how to avoid creation of so many inspection lot? Automatic Inspection lot creation is required hence no question of manual creation of inspection lot.
I checked function module QAPP_CUST_IP_CREATE for inspection point functionality but its description You can use the available function module to generate inspection points for the inspection during production already when the inspection lot is created. Can I use function module QAPP_CUST_IP_CREATE for restricting creation of inspection lot after GR?
Request all Masters to help me in solving this.
Thanks and regards,
Devang

Dear All,
First of all thanks a lot for your response.
I checked Control Inspection Lot setting but even that can not solve my problem as in our case though GR with confirmation will be once in a shift (though in system shift is not defined) but batches will be different and hence material document will be separate. And requirement is to have single inspection lot per shift even if batches and material documents are separate.
One option is to have multiple line items for GR in MB31 or MIGO or in COR6N. But all this transaction allows only one line item for GR against process order. So, can you suggest any function module or option to have multiple line items for GR.
Thanks and regards,
Devang

Inspection Lot Creation after UD

Dear PP/QM Masters,
I have question regarding inspection lot creation after UD for the same batch number.
There will be several GR during one shift for one SKU with the same batch number.
F.E. shift (6 am to 2 pm) at 7 there will be first GR of finished good. Inspection lot is automaticly created and QA at 9 will make UD for this lot. If production will made GR after that a new inspection lot will be created for the same production batch.
Is there any possibility to make only one inspection lot even if UD is taken.
Thanks and regards,

I guess what bothers me is that for your selection of "2" you include date. Our standard SAP system does not include date on that key choice. Just material/batch/storage location.
I re-tested one just to be sure. Created a new process order for 30. Reveived 15. Got an 04 inspection lot created. Processed the lot, posted out the 15 to unrestricted and made the UD with an Accept code.
Then I GR another 10. These went straight to unrestricted as I expected. Then I posted the final 5 in a 3rd GR. Same result.. straight to unresticited.
I'm not sure why your not seeing the same. Again, seeing that 'date' in your number # choice is bothersome. If some modified that to include the date of receipt and included the time stamp in that, then your going to get new inspection lots.
Are you sure they didn't post it to a different batch on the second or third posting. And of course, this does refer to the same process order.. correct? You not using three different process orders for this are you?

Inspection lot creation during STO return

Hello Gurus,
is there a trick to trigger inspection lot creation during STO return ?
Scenario is the following:
1 - Creation of STO
2 - Supplying plant ships materials... stock in transit
3 - Receiving plant receives materials
4 - Materials with defects -> Receiving plant add new line with return tick on the same material
5 - GI from Receiving plant... stock in transit
6 - Supplying plant receives materials -> Inspection lot has to be created
I used inspection type 08 on Receiving plant w/o success.
Many thanks.
Stéphane

No inspection lot is created when we return Materials to Vendor (Plant A) even if we maintain Inspection type 02.
Before STO customizing, Plant B creates a subcontracting purchase order. Next Materials are sending to Vendor (Plant A) and put in "Stock provided to vendor" (Transaction ME2O).
Vendor (Plant B) creates a Repair request (Sales document / Transaction VA01). Next run VRRE to reveice Materials to repair. Inspection lot is automatically created. The usage decision triggers the creation of Service order to manage all the repairing flow. Last step is to deliver Materials to Plant A and create Repair invoice.
Repair request supports all repairing flow (inspection lot, service oder...), especialy status (out of warranty or not).
After STO customizing, I expected the following result:
1° - Return STO to Vendor (Plant A) / ME21N with return tick
2° - Plant B ships Materials / MIGO wih 101 (SAP converts in 161)
3° - Stock in Transit
4° - Materials receive to Vendor (Plant B) / VL10B
5° - Creation Inspection lot
6° - UD triggered Service order creation
7° - ...Repairing flow with Service order...
8° - Materials ship to Plant B
9° - Repair invoice
10° - Stock in Transit
11° - Plant B receives Materials
As I said, there are 2 blocking points:
- Inspection lot not created when Vendor receives Materials
- Service order not created automatically (because no Repair request to support inspection lot, service order...)
Thanks a lot for your help.
Tell me if you have any questions.

Control of Inspection Lot Creation (Lot Summary) in Material Master

Dear Experts,
I would like to set the "Control of Inspection Lot Creation" to '1' An inspection lot for each material document and material"
But according to Help (F1), the lot summary is not supported ship the stock to unrestricted-use for skip lot.
<If you have made settings for the lot summary, no ship to stock takes place for skip lot. That is to say, the stock type is not immediately changed from "in quality check" to "unrestricted-use".>
Any idea to solve this problem?
Thank you very much.
Regards,
Wong

Dear Wong
If both a skip lot and an automatic usage decision occur, the system performs a ship to stock without posting the material into the quality inspection stock. The ship to stock does not take place during inspection lot summary.
It seems the '1' An inspection lot for each material document and material" is creating an inspection lot summary by which it is preventing the ship stock movements. I have tested with this and found that this works only for each material document only
The solution could be run a program in the backgroud setting the automatic UD so that the skip lots are cleared at the earliest. you can do this with the help of QA17, QA16

Quality inspection lot creation at GIR

Dear MM/QM guru's........
Can you explain me in bref wat are the customizing setting in Quality managemnt and MM for creation of inspection lot the moment you go GIR and how to release the inspection lot..
Reagrds
SARFRAZ

hi sarfrazny,
first you have to activate the QM view in material and activate the inspection type in the material master .
inspection plan to be prepared
as soon as you process the the GIR a inpection lot will be created for which you have to record the result .
kindly look into this
<b>Inspection for a Goods Issue</b>
Purpose
The system can automatically create an inspection lot when a goods issue is posted in the system. A goods issue can be posted internally (for example, a material withdrawal from the warehouse) or to an external destination (for example, a goods issue to a customer). In a goods issue, the materials are usually withdrawn from unrestricted-use stock and posted to a cost center, project, customer, or other account assignment object. When the system creates an inspection lot for a goods issue, the inspection lot is not stock relevant.
Prerequisites
The system creates an inspection lot automatically for a goods issue if the following conditions have been met:
In Customizing for Inspection Lot Creation (Inspection for a Goods Movement) QM is active for the movement type.
QM is active for the material. This means that in the inspection settings of the material master:
In Customizing for Inspection Lot Creation (Inspection for a Goods Movement) QM is active for the movement type.
An inspection type is active for inspection lot origin 02 (goods issue)
The other indicators for the inspection type are set appropriately to meet your requirements for inspection processing (for more information, see Processing Inspection Settings)
Process Flow
The system creates an inspection lot automatically when the goods issue is posted in Materials Management (MM).
If the inspector will record results for inspection characteristics (controlled by the inspection settings in the material master), the system assigns an inspection specification (for example, a task list or material specification) to the inspection lot. If the system cannot find a specification or if more than one inspection specification is assigned to the material, you must assign a specification to the inspection lot manually.
If dynamic modification criteria are defined for the inspection lot origin or task list usage, the system checks the existing quality level for the material (and the other criteria, if applicable):
If a quality level is not available, the system creates one.
If the dynamic modification rule specifies that the quality level must be updated when the usage decision is made, the system does not update the quality level now.
If the dynamic modification rule specifies that the quality level must be updated when an inspection lot is created, the system updates the quality level now.
The system calculates the sample size.
If the sample calculation must be triggered manually (controlled by the inspection settings in the material master), you must call up the inspection lot in the change mode and choose the function to trigger the sample calculation manually.
If you are going to inspect the goods in the inspection lot using an inspection specification:
The system can print out the inspection instruction and/or sample-drawing instruction automatically when the inspection lot is created
You can print out the inspection instruction and/or sample-drawing instruction manually when you call up the inspection lot in the change mode
Result
You can use the information in the sample-drawing instruction and inspection instruction as a guide to:
Draw and prepare the samples at the work centers specified for each operation
Inspect the goods in the inspection lot
Record characteristic results and/or defects
When you have finished recording inspection results and/or defects, you can complete the inspection.
Result
When you have finished recording inspection results and/or defects, you can complete the inspection.

Auto Inspection Lot Creation.

Dear Expert,
I have created new inspection type as Z01 by copying the 01 and I have maintain Inspection Lot Origins and Assign Inspection Types under 01. After that I have assigned my new inspection type Z01 to material master and activated it with material post to quality. Up to this it is working fine but after GRN system is not creating the lot. Even thou material is posting to the quality stock but no lot is in QA32.
But if I Create the lot wih QA01 it working fine and I'm able to do the UD also. But for no automatic lot generated for purchase order.
Please provide the details how to resolve this issue?
Thanks and Regards,
Manish

Dear Manish
These are the procudural steps when going to create a new inspection type
1) Maintain task list usage - SPRO> QM> Quality Planning > Inspection Planning> General> Define task list usages
2) Maintain inspection type - SPRO> QM> Quality Inspection > Inspection Lot Processing > Inspection Lot Creation > Maintain inspection types (for eg Z89) - Also maintain the task list usage here
3) Maintain Quality inspection lot origins and assign inspection types - SPRO> QM > Inspection Lot Processing > Inspection Lot Creation > Maintain inspection lot origins and assign inspection types
4) Define default values for inspection type - SPRO > QM> Quality Inspection > Inspection Lot Processing > Inspection Lot Creation > Define default values for inspection type
5) please check for any user exits in MIGO which have been used which is creating any issues.

Automatic Inspection lot not generated for Inspection lot origin 12

Hi all,
I am not able to trigger the automatic Inspection lot for General Delivery i.e Inspection lot origin 12.
The scenario is, I am creating the STO ( Inter company stock transfer) and against the same STO i am creating the delivery but after delivery inspection lot is not generated. In the material master correct inspection type is maintained also the mvt type 641 is active for QM. The inspection lot origin is assigned to the delivery type in the configuration but still i am not able to generate the inspection lot.
Please let me know i am missing something?
Regards

Hi,
You are missing 1 Config
Quality Management
Quality Inspection > Inspection Lot Processing > Inspection Lot Creation > Inspection at Shipping (Tcode OQL8)
mantain inspection origen agenist Delivery type u are using.
also you need to create Sales Info record(QV51)
I hope all other settings are OK then it should work

Inspection lot creation logic related movement type

Dear QM Guru,
I'm newly for QM module
I would like to know how config of movement type and lot origin under below config relate to inspection lot creation.
Quality Management>Quality Inspection>Inspection for Goods Movements-->Movement Type/Update Control/Inspection Lot Origin
i try to delete all record of customized movement type 949 that i think it copy from movement type 501 in this customizing then try to GR with this movement type, so system still generate inspection as normal.
then i re-insert the movement back into this customizing again then i wonder that system automatic fill in lot origin for me and this field also gray that not changeable
how system know the appropriate lot origin for this customized movement type?
Please anyone explain to me.
Thank in advance
Konnapa

Hi,
Inspection lot origins are assigned to movement types in standart. The assignment is hardcoded and cannot be changed. In this customization step you can only see the origin assigned. When you copy movement types from standart the assigned inspection origin also gets copied, and you also cannot chenge this assignment.
What you can do is to activate inspection for each movement type, or to customize selection of the inspection type within the inspection origin assigned.

Hi Ram,
Just check the SPRO setting SPRO---> Quality Management ->Quality Inspection->inspection lot creation--->inspection for goods movement --->deactivate quality inspection for a movt type.
Here against movt type 262 uncheck the QM not active tick.
It will solve your problem.

Inspection lot creation for inspection type 05

Hi Gurus,
We have finished material FERT & semifinished material HALB.We have assigned insp. type 02 & 05 in material master of matl. HALB.When we create production order for FERT & confirm the order , inspection lot is generated for matl.HALB of inspection type 02.
Now we are reversing the goods issue by movement type mb1a, movement 262.In customizing for movement 262 inspection lot origin 05 is assigned.
My problem is that when i reverse the goods issue with mvmt.262, inspection lot is not created for insp. type 05. What should be the reason behind this? or are any changes to be done to above setting?

Inspection Lot creation for the 103 movement type

<<Don't ask for or offer points>>
Dear Experts,
we have the requirement of Creating the Inspection lot for the 103 movement type. we have done all the necessary settings for 103 movement type (in OMJJ and under the node Quality Management --> Quality Inspection -->Inspection Lot Creation -->Inspection for Goods Movements) but still I am unable to achieve the results. Same is happening for 105 movements.
Kindly let us know what settings need to be done in order to achieve the same.
Full points will be awarded for the reply

Edited by: Matt on Sep 18, 2011 4:44 PM

Hi,
If you have activated two inspection types (eg 01, 0101) of same inspection lot origin (01), in material master you should have a preferred indicator set for the inspection type for which you want to be selected when you perform goods receipt.
This check box is available in the inspection type set up in the Material master.
Also check whether the post to inspection stock indicator is set for the material (in the inspection type), then only material will be posted to inspection stock.
Please confirm, what happens to the stock after making MIGO. check in MMBE and confirm
Go through the link and maintain the necessary settings. I think default settings for 01 type should work.

Inspection type 01 - inspection lot creation based on vendor batch number

Hi Guys,
this topic has been discussed several times here, but I was not able to find a suitable answer for my question.
I am facing the folowing requirement:
I have activated inspection type 01 for a raw material.
I am receiving a firs goods receipt from vendor A with vendor batch number 0001.
The system creates its own goods receipt batch number 0546 based on internal numbering.
A new inspection lot is created.
I am posting a second goods receipt from vendor a with vendor batch 0001.
The system creates a new batch number 0547 based on internal numbering.
A new inspection lot is created.
I do not want to get the second inspection lot, because I received vendor batch 0001 before and I am assuming it has been inspected or is in inspection.
Option 1: Post the second goods receipt against the first internal batch number created.
I am aware of this need at the moment, but a user is not always checking if there is an internal batch with the same vendor received before.
Can I customize the system to create inspection lots based on the fact that the vendor batch number was received before?
Or do I have to use an exit and some ABAP code to get the wanted result?
Thanks for your advice in advance.

You need to use one of the enhancements that Do-Wook has suggested. There is no standard SAP way to suppress the inspection based on the vendor batch number.
With the first enhancement you use the system to check for a previously received vendor batch and if one is found, then that batch number is proposed and not the next one from the numbering series. In this case, the lot isn't created than due to the inspection lot control of the inspection type.
With the second enhancement you check the vendor batch number and if it's been received you suppress the inspection lot creation and the stock goes right to unrestricted.
You'll probably need to do one or the other. Myself, I prefer the first enhancement.
