Automatic Usage Decision

Dear all,
There is this checkbox control in the inspection type setup in the material master, called u201CAutomatic UDu201D.
It said:
If you set this indicator, the system can automatically make usage decisions for inspection lots.
The inspection lots must meet the following conditions:
u2022     All characteristics have been completed
u2022     None of the characteristics have been rejected
u2022     No defects have been recorded, or No quality notifications created
u2022     The waiting time set in Customizing must have elapsed.
Yet when I test a scenario in which the inspection characteristic has been valuated as accepted and close (i.e. no rejected), and no defect is recorded.
However, the valuation Code field shown u201CNot Valuatedu201D, and the UD code field is blank in this inspection lot overview (i.e. QA03).
Shouldnu2019t the usage decision should take place automatically on this since I have fulfill the requirement on the setup? Did I miss out anything?
Thanks

Hi
1.What is setting at plant level you have done for Skip lot?
2.Status of all char must be 5
3.Have you done scheduling through QA10
or QA16.
4.Schedule must run in background.
just making char skips & tick on "Skip" in QM view will not take auto UD

Auto usage decision

Hi
In QE51n the user is recording the results.Result:Pass/Fail
The usage decision by QA10 scheduled job back ground job every 1 minute.
Now my client wants to see what are the materiials Auto UD was happened in a period ?
Can you tell me where can we see Auto UD results?
In results recording if we given result as fail then what Auto UD will do for this Inspection lot?

Now my client wants to see what are the materiials Auto UD was happened in a period ?
When you shedule th job run in background ,once UD is taken in background Name of usage decision made always appear to be scheduler's name.
QA32--->dynamic selection( shift + F4) ->Lot usage decision->sheduler's name
Along with this --> in same dynamic selection there is >control indicator>automatic UD-->ticked for auto UD
Also note :The system documents the automatic usage decision in the long text for the usage decision.
Can you tell me where can we see Auto UD results?
See the log of the schedule backgroung run & QA32
In results recording if we given result as fail then what Auto UD will do for this Inspection lot?
It depends upon what is Status of the Inspection result ( 4"skip" or 5"valuated & closed") and not what result recorded.

QA16.. Mass Reject Usage Decision

Hi
Is it possible to do a Mass Reject usage decision?
With QA16 you can mass accept lots .. but do you have to do rejections on an individual basis manually?
Thanks

Hi Ram,
Thanks for the fast reply.. can I just clarify your second comment "For automatic UD the pre requistes are no char.reject, no q-note or defect records created. So, automatic UD for rejections not possible."
I am not sure I follow this... we will create potentially a 200 hundred inspection lots per day but do not plan to input inspection results so there will be no basis for automatic usage decision I guess.
We are hoping for each production receipt to go into QI with an Inspection Lot then at a later point for a Usage Decision to be made to accept or reject.
If there is a problem during the shift then tens or hundreds of lots could be affected. Can you suggest a method I could investigate to reject all of these without manually going to each?
Thanks

Automatic TO Creation for QM Usage Decision

Dear Gurus
We all know WM TO to releasing stock from QI to UU or return goods to vendor can be created automatically,
My question is, when the usage decision is split into two, some material going into stock, and some returned to vendor. for return to vendor, SAP will do automatic transfer, but for material go into stock, SAP is not release Q status in WMS to unrestricted (blank), I have set the movement 321 to create TO automatically and post into same bin.
FYI, if the transaction is separated, SAP perform well (transfer Q to unrestricted done automatically and return to vendor also done automatically)
Is there any solution for this problem?
Thanks and Regards

Hi,
In case of a usage decision for a partial quantity, it is not possible to create the TO for the generated posting change notice automatically. This is only possible when the full quantity is released. The same happens if you release a partial quantity and post the rest using a different stock posting. The reason is, there needs to be a user decision, which part of the quantity has to be posted, this is necessary for example when the quantity is distributed in the warehouse over many storage bins. But even if the full quantity is on one storage bin, there is no automatic TO creation. You can see this also in the online processing LT05), in case of partial quantities you have to enter the selected quantity in the quant list, for a full posting this is not necessary.
Hope this helps.

Automatic Batch creation at the time of usage decision in qa32

hi all,
while doing usage decision in transaction qa32, user has to enter batch. can this batch assignment be done automatically at any stage of quality inspection? any ideas?
Best Regards,
AI.

Hi,
When the Material is subjected to Quality management & batch management is active for that material.
Then during Goods receipt you can use automatic batch for that material so the material will be in Quality inspection with batch update
when you do the GR in 101
Whenever you do the usage decision then the same batch will flow.

WM - QM usage decision scrap - automatic TO creation

How can I realize an automatic transfer order processing for the following scenario:
MIGO Goods receipt posting with reference to PO into quality
QA11 Usage decision Scrap
Transfer requirement (WM mtype 551 / IM mtype 553) is being created but although the correct storage type (902 GR area external rcpts) is being determined the system cannot process the transfer order in background since the respective storage bin (dynamic IM-material document) cannot be determined => error message u201CSystem cannot find source storage binu201D.
I am able to process the transfer order in foreground successfully. Via u201Cstock figuresu201D (F7) the system is able to determine the respective storage bin (including stock search with inspection lot) correctly so I wonder why this is not being done in the background processing.

Hi,
Bin can be determined automatically only based on the strategy (for your case, it's removal strategy) assigned to the storage type in question. For 902, it's a interim storage type without strategy assigned.
I am afraid you can only manually process the TR in foreground for your scenario. Otherwise, you may consider putting away QI stock from 902 into a normal storage type. You should then be able to process the TR of scrap in background.
Hope it helps.

Automatic storage location selection while doing usage decision

hi gurus,
My client wants to do automatic determination of storage location depending upon usage decision.
i.e. if usage decision is reject than gr to be done at rejection storage location. if usage decision is accepted than gr to be done at respective storage location.
The storage location can be changed manually but they require automatic determination of storage location.

Automatic Credit/Debit Memo linked to Usage Decision Code

Dear SAP Masters,
Can any one help me in setting up a process in system for automatic creation of Credit/Debit memo on selection of usage decision code in notification?
Points will be awarded to any useful reply.
Thanks and regards

Dear Sir
What is you business can you explain it in detailed?
Because there is facility available to create (SDMR) Service Debit Memo Request or SCMR(Service credit memo request) against the order & not notification.
if you tell me ur business i can put more focus on it .

No Automatic Transfer order creation upon usage decision for 553 mtype

Scenario: We have quality and warehouse management active. Goods receipt is done against a purchase order. Stock comes into 902 storage type under stock category u201CQu201D. From 902 storage type, Goods issue to scrapping under quality( using IM movement type 553 ) is done using QA11. Normally, once GI to scrap under quality is done at IM level, WM movement type 551 gets triggered automatically in the background which creates a transfer order to move stock from 902 to 999 storage type under u201CQu201D stock category.
Problem: System unable to find storage bin for storage type 902 Q.
In our system, automatic TO creation from TR isnu2019t happening once the usage decision for 553 movement type happens. The TO creation process couldnu2019t recognize the stock which is available as u201CQu201D. It throws an error message u201Csource storage bin could not be foundu201D at the time of TO creation from TR. Putaway strategy for the physical storage types is FIXED BIN, MIXED STOCK ALLOWED and ADDITION TO EXISTING STOCK. 902 storage type has ADDITION TO EXISITNG STOCK and MIXED STOCK as a putaway strategy.
We have already activated auto TO creation settings at WM-IM reference movement types interface configuration.
Is there any setting missing at QM-WM interface?
Can someone please tell us a methodology to activate this transfer order creation process (WM mtype 551) for 553 IM mtype ?
Thanks in advance. Please reply.

Hello,
I do not understand your scenario , u are saying are posting inspection lot to non WM storage location and again saying system can not find bin automatically.
"A transfer requirement (movement type 311 / destination u201C921 Transferu201D) is created after the inspection lot posting (QA11) but the auto-creation functionality is not possible since the u201CSystem cannot find source storage binu201D.
How can this auto-creation of a transfer order be realized since it is possible to create the transfer order manually via LB11 (entering source u201C902u201D / storage bin u201CPurchase Order no.u201D)?
The system cannot find the storage bin automatically.
Thank you in advance!"
Please let me know are u using quality interim storage area. If you clear material from quality and want material to go to bin then it should be warehouse managed storage location.

Selection of usage decision based on % of rejection done thorugh Insp Lot

My business scenario is as follows:-
I have created new usage decision codes as mentioned below through QS41and assigned the same to code group RI-UD and catalog 03.
I3     INITIAL REJECTION >75% to <=100 % (1)
I4     INITIAL REJECTION >50% to <=75% (40)
I5     INITIAL REJECTION >25% to <=50% (60)
I6     INITIAL REJECTION <=25% (80)
and quality score maintained the same through QS51
Code Group     Code     Shot Text for a code                                               Code Valuation         Quality Score
RI-UD     I3     INITIAL REJECTION >75% to <=100 % (1)     R Rejected (not OK)     1
RI-UD     I4     INITIAL REJECTION >50% to <=75% (40)     R Rejected (not OK)     40
RI-UD     I5     INITIAL REJECTION >25% to <=50% (60)     R Rejected (not OK)     60
RI-UD     I6     INITIAL REJECTION <=25% (80)                          R Rejected (not OK)     80
I need to automate the selection of usage decision code to be done by system based on the accepted/rejected quantity entered.
How to go about it. Can anybody on this please?
Thanks in advance.
Ravi

Anything can be done SAP!   But what you want would be all custom. There is no SAP functionality that would do that for you. I'd start with the auto UD program first. Have the programmers modify the selection parameters to select the list of lots. Than process those lots with the logic you want o use and change the UD accordingly. I'd make sure I could run the program manually as well. Similar to some of the other UD workload programs.

AFS-QM Error in stock posting performed by taking Usage decision

Hi all,
during stock posting with 105 mov type performed by taking Usage Decision (QA11), I faced with a strange system behavior, described beneath.
Previuos steps:
Purchase order creation
Partial Good receipt performed by MIGO, mov type 103 (Blocked stock from PO)
Automatic Creation of Inspection Lot
Error encountered:
If I take usage decision (QA11) for the inspection lot created, putting the stock checked in Unrestricted Use (correspondant mov type = 105), in the following good receipt (related to the same purchase order), the incoming stock available is less of the real quantity, previously accepted..
After some checks we understood that with 105 mov type the system doubles the real quantity previoulsy accepted, acting in the following manner:
Initial PO: 100 PZ
1° Good receipt: 30 PZ
(automatic creation of inspection lot)
If we take a usage decision, posting stock to unrestricted use (mov type 105), in the 2° Good receipt, the quantity available from the same PO is not 70 PZ (100 - 30), but only 40 PZ ! ! (100 - (30 * 2)) = 40
Please note that it does not occur if we post stock (always 105 mov type) with a MIGO transaction, so we are forced to think that the problem is strictly related to AFS-QM inventory posting, and not to 105 mov type or inbounding process.
Thanks for your collaboration,
Regards,
Ale

I'm not familiar with the specific apparel and footwear solution but with regards to QM, if you are using the standard SAP delivered stock postings, it should use 105 to accept the material to unrestricted for the GR blocked.
I would first use MB51 for the material and batch and review all the material movement documents. Look at the trail of movements and try to see where the changes happen.
In your example, what did the unrestricted inventory and GR blocked inventory show as stock levels?
I'd also check OSS for issues related to AFS/QM. This is not new functionality in SAP so I would be surprised if this was an actual bug or problem in the system that hasn't been seen before.

Partial quality inspection & partial usage decision?

Hello Friends
Inspection lot is created when GR is done against purchase order, in normal case result is recorded for whole lot and usage decision is made partially / fully.
Say business want to inspect (record result) only 50 pieces and want to do usage decision of 50 pieces immediately and again want to inspect (record result) another 50 pieces of same lot and want to do the usage decision u2026u2026u2026u2026how to do it?
As per my knowledge once inspection is done & usage decision is done system stops to inspect that lot again.
Looking for your valuable input as soon as possible.
Thanks & Regards
Swanad

hi
inspect (record result) only 50 pieces and want to do usage decision of 50 pieces immediately and again want to inspect (record result) another 50 pieces of same lot and want to do the usage decision
For result recording to be done for qunatity In control indicator of each char tick on long term Inspection.
This will allow you to do RR after UD has taken.
For UD to be done Partially means stock posting partially ...
You can create a UD code(AP) & in customization do not post it automatically.
Then You can only post 50 Qty initially with UD -AP
then for rest of the qty in QA32 select those lots with UD & stock post rest of the items when you carry out RR for rest of 50 .
This is the solution

Usage Decision Results to any stock update?

Dear SAP Experts,
I want to know , when usage Decision is taken in QM, stock will be updated or not?
After usage decision say few quantity is scrapped and given usage decision code for the same. I want to know this decision will update to stock or not? if it doesnot update the satock automatically, then what standard movement types are used to post this scrapped quantity.
Please help, and its urgent.
Thanks & Regards,
Mohd Ismail.

Hi,
I want to know , when usage Decision is taken in QM, stock will be updated or not?
May or may not be!
Stock posting through QM and UD are 2 separate events although executed through same TCode.
If you want that stock should be posted automatically in to unrestricted or into block with UD at the same time, you can do that setting in QS51 against appropriate UD code.
If the system status of inspection lot contains UD ICCO SPCO, that means stock posting and UD both have been done
After usage decision say few quantity is scrapped and given usage decision code for the same. I want to know this decision will update to stock or not? if it doesnot update the satock automatically, then what standard movement types are used to post this scrapped quantity
I could not interpret this correctly.
Seems that you are narrating a case where UD and stock posting are done and later you want to scrap the material
You can simply do it through MIGO using 551 movement. (Scrapping against cost center from unrestricted use)
But changing once given UD, will not perform any movement again.

QM-WM Usage decision split between Unrestricted & Blocked

Hi:
I have a situation where I do a usage decision from a goods receipt of a PO. It is working fine - I can either book it into Unrestricted or Blocked stock and the WM posting change happens automatically.
I now want to do both together, i.e. 150kg comes in and 50 is released and 100 is blocked.
The IM posting is fine, however the WM posting change doesn't process. My WM stock ends up with stock sitting in 922 Tr-zone. I I go into Lu04 and process them individually, they process without a problem so I don't understand why they don't happen automatically?
Any suggestions?
Thanks

they process without a problem so I don't understand why they don't happen automatically?
As per WM as Stock types are different TO should takes place differnetly.It does not make sence making it automatically because when you put something in say block stock it has be treated differently since SAP presume that there is some issue with the stock,that is a reason you have done some posting in Block stock.Differnet TO or LT06 should happen for the same.
I hope this will add some value.
