Calibration vs Inspection Plan

Hi QM Gurus,
I have measured diameter by using Micrometer or any other instrument.
My requirement is if the instrument is not calibrated that time system will not allow to carry the result recording for particular character which is measured be the Non - calibrated instrument.
Please advice.
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Babusingh.S

Hi,
As suggested by Craig you can create equipment as PRT and assign it to operation in inspection plan but even though equipment calibration is expired , system will not stop the resulting reocrding as system does not check equipment status while result recording. you may need to user user exit to activate this functionality.
Thanks

Statutory Inspection planning in PM

Dear Experts,
I need an advise on the Inspection planning in plant maintenance. To me Inspection and calibrations are two different processes.
Inspection can be related to any equipment (whether a Test Equipment or a manufacturing equipment). Test equipment e.g. Vernier caliper, Meggers, Current meter, Multimeter etc. helps to take the measurement reading. With time , the accuracy of the measuring equipment gets deviated from the required and then it need to undergo the "Calibration Process".
On the other hand, the manufacturing Equipment, It self need to undergo some "Statutory Inspection" (due to legal requirement from various government bodies) e.g. in large Oil and gas plants , Particle content into smoke, Noise level from an equipment, Inspection of various fire extinguishers etc are required to be inspected on periodic basis and need to be certified by an external/ internal agency. This certificate can be submitted on demand to various Govt. bodies.
if some Non compliance is being found during Inspection, the corrective action need to taken by replacement or maintenance of that part.
I need to get some guidance on Inspection plan for such equipment. How the process can be mapped into SAP. Do we need to go through QM path for Inspection plan? How certificates can be issued for this process?
Please provide the detailed steps ..
Thanks

Hi Dennis,
You can try the following process. It might help.
For Statutory requirement a time based maintenance plan can be created.
For Smoke Particle/ Noise, Mater Inspection Characteristics (MICs) can be created, with qualitative indicator.
Rest of the process might be mapped as below:-
1: Assign an Order to inspection type 14 in configuration.
2: Create Master Inspection Characteristics (Quantitative or Qualitative as per your requirement) and assign sampling procedure.
3: Create a task list with inspection point 300 and assign Master Inspection Characteristics to it. Assign control key PM01 (for internal) or PM03 (for external processing)
4: Create a Maintenance Plan with the same task list for an Equipment with the order type with inspection type 14
5: An Order will be created as per the schedule given in Maintenance Plan.
6: An inspection lot will be generated once the order is released.
7: Do result recording and usage decision for the same.
8: I think there is a provision to print certificate as well (I have not used it though)
Hope it will be useful.
Thanks and Regards,
Sanjay

Vivek

Hi,
Thanks for the reply. when i am trying to create a inspection plan in other plant, we have 4-5 sampling procesures to select from. But for this perticular plant where we are having problem, its showing only one. How do i get more options?How do i extend a sampling procedure to a new plant.

Error while creating Inspection plan

Hi,
While creating inspection plan in QP01, system is showing error "Material type ZROH is not defined for task list type Q''
Please help me to solve the error.
Thanks
Prasant

Hi,
This is due to the configuration error,
Just use T.Code OP50
Create an entry for task list type "Q" with material type "ZROH" and save,
Then try creating a Quality Inspection Plan, it will work

Sale Order / Project specific Inspection Plan

Dear All,
I want to create Sale order or Project specific inspection plan for a material. This is because, my customers want some specific inspection requirements for individual materials, which are assigned to Sale order or project. I want to inspect the material after receipt for these specific account assignments. I do not want to assign the customer because, my single customer may give different sale orders with different inspection requirements.
But in inspection plan, i can not see the assignment of sale order / project as i can see in Rate Routing.
Can anybody tell me about this?
Regards,
Prashant Kolhatkar

Create a Material ONE as Configurable Material. Assign 300 Class Type Class with Charcateristics created through CT04 Transaction which in turn linked to MICs.
Create another Material TWO with same Class but not configurable but is a Variant of Material ONE (MRP 3 View)
Maintain Configuration Profiles for both Materials.
In Material TWO, for insp. type details click on Insp. by Config indicator.
Whenever a Sales Order is created, maintain the requirements from the Customer in Characteristics and save the Sales Order. Against this Sales Order whenever a GR is made for respective Production Order inspection lot is created against the specifications given by Customer and not that maintained in inspection plan.

How to block deletion of Inspection Plan

Dear Experts
Accicendatally, our users are deleting the Inspection Plan,
Is there any authorisation object to make Restriction on this,Transaction is QP02.
Regards
Sandeep patil

Hi Sandeep,
As you said User's are deleting inspection plans. They must be putting it for deletions by clicking on deletion flags.
If you want to restrict this then you have to get help of security team. They will find role for this transaction -
> then they will find out the objects matanined in this role -
> this will display all the activities in that object -
> then they can cancel deletion activity from object list.
Then when User will access QP02 then this checkbox will appear grey. Then they will not be able to delete inspection plan.
Hope this resolves your issue, reward points if helpful.

How to use Same Inspection plan for Multiple Plants?

Hello,
When I create a Process Order for material (M1), release and save it for a Plant A then I get the Inspection lot automatically.
Now I have another Plant B that we have created. We would like to use the same Inspection plan that has been created for Plant A and M1
So in the changed mode(QP02) of the Inspection plan for Plant A in the material assignment tab I added the Material M1 and the Plant B. I am assuming this means when I create the Process order for M1 in Plant B then it should use the same Inspection plan.
But when I create the Process Order for M1 for Plant B, release and save it then it does not created the Inspection lot automatically(though I can create Inspection lot manually)
Can you tell me if there is setting that will allow me to create the Inspection lot automatically on saving the Process order which should use the Inspection plan that I just assigned.
And also let me know if there is a better way to handle same Inspection Plan for same material but multiple Plants.
Thanks
SAP Fans...

Dear,
For your message my understanding is that you are not getting Inspection lot created in Plant"B". Inspection lot for a material would get created based on the Inspection Setup for the material master "QM View", so compare the QM for the material in both plants and correct it for Plant "B".
Probably I feel Inspection Setup is not complete for the material in Plant "B" - Generally when extending material by copying referance, in the QM view you need to click the Inspection Setup Button, for the data to be copied...otherwise it does not copy the Inspection setup from the referance plant.

Errors while creating Inspection plan using BAPI_INSPECTIONPLAN_CREATE

Hi All,
I am writing an upload tool for inspection plans. In this program I use bapi: BAPI_INSPECTIONPLAN_CREATE.
I made an extraction of a excisting inspection plan with SXDA_TOOLS which uses the same bapi and filled the bapi structures with the similar data. Now I am getting strange messeges in the return structure as below.
1. Material is not maintained for plant NNNN. But the material is mainained for that plant.
2. Consistency check not successful when creating operation
3. Inspection characteristic cannot be uniquely assigned to one operation
Let me know your suggestions
Thanks,
Sabu

Hi All,
Have any one used this BAPI, BAPI_INSPECTIONPLAN_CREATE to create Inspection Plan ?
Can you help me on above errors?

Inspection plan creation error....

Hello gurus,
I am getting error while creating inspection plan....
'Work center ABC plant ABC does not exist for task list type Q'
what should be the solution......?

Double check that the plant for the inspection plan matches the plant for the work center. If you created the work center in plant ABCD but are creating the plan in a different plant, they may not match.
This usually happens when you create a plan by using an existing plan in another plant as the template.

Error while creating the Inspection plan by T.C QP01

Hello Friends,
In QP01, When i am trying to create a inspection plan system throwing the error message "The inspection plan identifier exists already. Enter another."
Message no. QP054
But in QP02, When i checked for that material, Plant, Group Number, Group counter, Usage, Status, i didn't find the entry over there.
Actually my requirement is to create a inspection plan for a material and plant combination with speicfic Usage as 61(customer requirement and status 4) but when i am trying to create that system throwing the error message explained above.
Thanks and Regards,
Jitendra Chauhan.
Edited by: jitendra chauhan on Jun 1, 2010 4:28 PM

Hello Friends,
Thanks for your valuable answers.
I checked in table MAPL, for a particular material, Plant, Group Number and Group Counter, there is no entry.
Where as in table PLKO, for a particular Group Number and Group Counter, entry is there. Actually this Inspection Plan Group Number and Group Counter is assigned to multiple materials through Material Assignment. If i delete the entry for this in table PLKO, than for all rest of the materials also entry will be deleted.
Hence how to resolve this?
Actually for other material number, same plant, same group number and same group counter, entry exist. So can i simply go in the inspection plan of other material,same plant,same group number,same group counter and than inside the material assignment to assign the required material code, plant and the group counter number?
Looking ahead for valuable inputs from the genius.
Thanks and Regards,
Jitendra

Long text problem while uploading Inspection plan through BDC.

Hi,
I am facing some problem while uploading the inspection plan. There are few MICs for which we are having long text, while uploading the inspection plan through BDC - some other long text is getting copied into the MIC's long text. After checking I came to know that in function module, read_text - some text which is stored in ABAP memory is getting copied into the inspection plan.
I am working in SAP release 4.7. I have checked with SAP notes: 97419, but it is also not satisfying.
Waiting for quick solution.
Thanks in advance.
Fahié

Hi a®s,
Thanks a lot for your kind reply.
My requirement is I want to maintain long text for few MICs (which are not having long texts at MIC level) in inspection plan (QP01).
When I am trying to manually assign the MIC's to inspection plan (QP01), long text is copied whereas I am not clicking the long text icon in (QP01). Long text is not maintained in MIC level, still some long text is copied to this MIC. This was also happening while uploading the inspection plan thro' BDC.
I believe what you have mentioned about function module SAVE_TEXT cannot be used here since long text is already copied before we pass the long text. Also if we pass some long text, still apart from the long text what we have passed there is some other long text copied (extra long text).
Waiting for quick solution.
Thanks in advance.

Inspection lot creation based on "right" inspection plan version

I manage inspection plan ( inspection lot origin 01 ) with Change number; in this way I have differents inspection plan version based on date.
When I do a Good Entry based on purchase order , I need that system creates inspection lot version based on the purchase order creation date and not , as now, based on good entry date
Is it possible ?
When I create the purchase order I send to vendor also the inspection plan characteristich that have to be maintened ; for this reason I need to find same characterist during good entry inspection
Regards

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.

Inspection plan selection based on production workcenter for Inspection typ

Dear QM Guru's,
I have requirement of automatic inspection lot creation based on production work center.
For example :- I have Inspection Plan A, Plan B and Plan C for Material XYZ. My requirement is that, when inspection lot created for material XYZ ,when we release production order (Early lot creation) , it should create inspection lot based on production work centers in the order. In this case, if production workcenter A is in the prodiction order, system automatically assigned inspection plan A, when workcenter B,it should choose inspection plan B and same for C workcenter.
Can we have this set up in the system?
Let me know if u need any other details.
Thanks in advance.

The workcenters in QM and PP don't have to be the same. In the user exit your going to code in the logic you want to use to select the inspection plan.
I suggested creating the workcenters the same and the code can use that info to match up the correct task list group to assign the inspection lot. But if that doesn't work pick something else.
Your code can use any logic you want. You can put a description in the short text if you want.
You can just have an understanding that task list group 10 is always used for production work center XYZ and task list group 20 is always used for production work center ABC and task list group 30 is always used for production work center 123. In the user exit you check which production line and just change the group to 10, 20 or 30 then.
I don't care what you pick or how you do it, neither does the function module. I believe the function module will pass in the parameters of the task list it is planning to assign. You then have the ability to use the code to pick a different one and pass back new parameters for the task list.

Error in LSMW in Uploading Inspection Plan in QP01

Hi All,
I am facing problem when executing LSMW, I am Uploading Inspection Plan in QP01 transaction using Direct Input methos. The problem is on 13th step :Error that I get is 'No profile with entry tool for task list / / / in session INSPECTION_OBJ', here INSPECTION_OBJ is the name of the session. I have given the constant value of field profile (BIPKO-PROFIDNETZ) in mapping step and also activated check box 'entry tool' under profile to remove this error. But in that case i can pass only the header data while processing the session and control does not get into Operation and characteristic screen.
Can anyone pls help me..
Thanks in advance...

You might need to redo the recording all over again, BDC has plentty of scenario for screen selection to go wrong, so can't really tell what cause your problem based on your desc. I have been stop using BDC to uplaod material since 5 years ago, I always use Direct input in LSMW and it works much better. I recomend you try the Direct input method instead of BDC if still getting problem.
