COA's with In-process Inspection & w/o Batch Management

Hi Folks,
We are doing in-process inspection in our system, for production. Also, we donot use batch management. Yet, we've COA's that need to be generated on our finished products before their dispatch to the customers.
I've previously used COA's in a Batch Managed & GR Inspection (type 04) scenario. Not sure if COA's can be generated for my scenario (in-process inspection & no batch mgmt). Would like to take suggestions from you experts on how do I approach this.
Thanks
Anand

I believe you should be able to generate COA's using the 03 inspection results, but... I've never tested it or tried to do it.  But in using 03's there are some issues that you'd have to check on and test out.
I don't think you'll be able to have the same test in the inspection lot more then once.  This can happen if you run the same test at different operations of the process.  Such as water content which might be tested several times during production. You might also have some issues if you use inspection points.  I think it will use the last test result regardless of inspection points.  But I'm not 100% sure on that.
You will also to need to make sure there are UD's on the inspection lot.  You'll probably want to run the Auto UD for production lots and have it close all lots where the order has a TECO status.
Other then those cautions, it should work similarly to reporting results from an 04 inspection lot.

  • Sample management with in-process inspection

    i need to know why must we assign inspection points when we use sample management in an in-process inspection ?

    Hi,
    [Kindly refer the link herewith|Inspection point] wherein the importance of inspection point is mentioned.
    In simple words, inspection point determines what system should do to proceed the inspection.
    I mean if you will enter 100 (STD SAP), system will plan the inspection, UD , Quality score procedure etc etc according to the freely defined inspection points.
    Now say if you enter 200 (STD SAP) there, then system will go in the direction of Samples, means will generate Physical Sample (Numbers), Samples size, will fetch these data to UD and stock posting screen also, then calculate the Quality score, etc etc.
    If you will enter it time based inspection point then system will drive the entire inspection lot accordingly.
    Now these is the straight and written explanation to your answer.
    Means If there is inspection point as 200--->there will be need  of SDP, Sampling procedure, etc
    But in same manner it is applicable in reverse order also, i.e. If you wanna go with SDP,Sampling procedure (SAMPLE Mgmt) then,inspection point there must be maintained accordingly.

  • In process inspection related with PRT maintenance

    Hello SAP QM gurus,
    I have one issue of In process inspection related with maintenance of PRT. The detail is as follows.
    I have an inspection plan for SFG (Semi Finished Goods) with 15 parameters to check. For production of this SFG material we are using a Production Resource Tool (PRT). After 2000 pieces of SFG production the PRT is to be taken out for maintenance. I have maintenance plan for this PRT and system gives me maintenance order after every 2000 pieces of SFG production.
    My client wants to check the 15 parameters of SFG just before and after of PRT maintenance. After the PRT maintenance and when the production is OK then for every next lot client wants to check only 3 critical parameters and to skip remaining 12 parameters. How to map this scenario?
    Will the DMR (Dynamic Modification Rule) be effective in this case, or else any workaround ?
    Please guide.
    Sanjay

    Dear QM gurus,
    One correction in my thread,
    15 parameters to check SFG is in routing of SFG and not the inspection plan.
    Please guide me.

  • How to configure quality process with batch management.

    Dear Friends,
                we have a scenario,our client receive goods with 101movement type  into quality inspection stock.
    once stock is passed quality check stock,then we will take into unrestricted stock with 321 movement type.
    failed in quality test will  be rejected.please give me suggestion how to map the scenario.while i am testing
    the process in my sandbox,its asking batch number.its not allowing me to post unrestricted stock with 321
    movement type.how to make batch as optional in this scenario?if batch is mainted for the material,how to
    configure the process.we are not using QM module.
    please suggest me.
    Regards,
    Varun

    In Batch management config in Logistic general, Check for the movement type 101 & 321 whether batch creation has been activated to Manual, Automatic, or no creation. In your case it looks like for mvt 321 batch creation is set to manual & for 101 no creation.
    if batch creation is set to manual, enter a manual batch no & proceed.
    But to cross verify wheter 101 has generated batch or not please check the stocks in MMBE.
    Hope this helps.

  • In-process inspection in repetitive manufacturing

    Hi,
    My client handles assembling of electronic products.  product passes through different set of operations where in it proceeds to the next operation only when the prior operation is approved in terms of quality.
    We are trying to go with repetitve mfg but we are unable to understand in-process inspection operation wise.  Pls advise is this feasible or we only need to go with discrete mfg with production orders.

    Dear,
    1. Setting up inprocess inspection
    for inprocess REM you have to maintained inspection type 13 in material master. and select task list. for that you have to maintained inspection point in your rate routing for ex for partial lot quantity based.
    2. GR Inspection from production
    then you go for result recording for inspection point and do the reporting point backflushed through result recording of every inspection point.
    3. At what stage the QM lot is generated .
    for that you have to create inspection lot in t code MFPR for your production version and for that inspection lot you have do above work.

  • Process Order creates Multiple Inspection for Same Batch

    Hi Guys,
    Expert opinion is needed to have this issue fixed.
    Issue:When a new Process Order is created it automatically creates in storage location A.  There are times when a process order needs to be created into another storage location B.  When the Process Order is created and then is changed from A to B  it will  create two inspection lots for one batch, one for each storage location.  From the plant perspective they only need one Inspection lot as they will not create two set of samples for testing since it is the same batch it just went into a different storage location then it was originally created for.  Is there a way to change SAP  so that it only creates one Inspection lot per batch.
    Control InspLot field in QM view for Insp Type 04 is X
    We had different scenarios with same Batch
    SCENARIO #1:  Sloc is changed to B prior to Release, in CRTD status of order Sloc was A
    So there are 2 Insp. Lot created one for A & another for B after GR in Sloc B
    SCENARIO #2:  Sloc is changed to B after  Release
    IL is created after Release of order with Sloc A, after changing Sloc B in process order and performing GR, new IL is created for Sloc B
    Business scenario is certain times of the year where one creates a PO with one Sloc and then it needs to be GR into a different Sloc.
    They are generating a lot of IL’s that are not used and it seems like every year they need to get UD’s made on IL’s for finance to close out the year which is cumbersome.
    Please suggest way out, objective is one process should have one IL per Batch irrespective of Sloc

    There are several things that come to mind.
    First and foremost, get the planning right so that the process orders are created properly the first time around.  This is a business issue.  Yes.. I don't know your business.. no, you really aren't all that different then the thousands of other businesses using SAP.  The root cause of this is you don't know what is going where when you order it or in the case of process orders, where you intend to make it or store it.  That's a basic planning problem.
    2 - you must have early lot creation turned on, "Y".  You can't be using "X".  X would only create an 04 lot when you do the GR so if you change the storage location prior to the Process order being released I'm not sure how you are generating two lots.  Are you sure all the lots in question are 04 lots? Are you maybe seeing an 03 lot?  Or possibly an 08 lot?  Something doesn't sound right here.
    3 - If you receive into two storage locations from one process order, you will get two inspection lots.  No way around this.  There is stock associated with these.  You could use customization to suppress the second receipt but that stock would go right to UR with no inspection.
    4. Don't change the storage locations  in the process orders at all.  You can use the stock posting screen in the UD and change the storage location when you make the UD.
    5.  Another option is to again, don't change the storage location in the PO but use QAC2 transaction to transfer the inspection lot into the proper storage location.
    You need to explain your scenarios better cause I really don't see how you are getting the two lots when you make all your changes in the process order prior to releasing the process order.  That doesn't make any sense at all.

  • In Process Inspection for Repetitive Manufacturing

    Hi All,
    I'm trying to perform in-process inspection for repetitive manufacturing. I have a semi finished material which has the inspection type 13 activated in the material master. Rate routing for it has also been created. Characteristics have been assigned to its operation and the routing is attached to a production version. When I o to MFPR to create a lot, I specify the material, plant and production version with QM active (tried the other 2 options as well) but when I execute, nothing shows up in the list. When I click on create inspection lot, it says, "either select versions or place cursor on versions now" but there's nothing in the list?
    Regards,
    Bilal

    Hi,
    Please check whether the repetitive manufacturing check box and REM profile is defined in the MRP4 of material master.
    Please define that and try to run the transaction MFPR.
    It should solve your problem

  • Stock updation in In process inspection

    Hello everyone,
    I had a question regarding In process inspection
    My client requires that upon performing in process inspection ( currently inspection type:03) he should be able to automatically post the same to Blocked or unrestricted use stock as recorded
    This I know is possible if I post stock first using GR (inspection type:04) As a result stock goes automatically to QC stock. But this would not serve the purpose since he again has to do quality UD again.
    So is there any way I can do this?
    Any help is higly appreciable.
    Sincerely,
    Aji

    In QM view for 04 inspection type -->
    An inspection type assigned to inspection lot origin 04 is active
    The Control of inspection lot creation indicator for the inspection type is set so that the system will create an inspection lot for early inspection for goods receipt
    This will create then inspection lot of 04 when you release the production/process order.This lot is created along with 03 inspection type but it is not stock relevant.

  • QM In-Process Inspection for Batch Managed Material

    Hi,
    I have a issue related to UD of In-Process inspection for batch managed material. The production process is discrete manufacting for a cold rolling mill. A production order can have mutiple coils as per the production amount. To track the individual coil , batch management has ben activated. We have both in-process as well as inspection after production here.
    For inspection after production we are fine as we are doing partial confirmation after every coil and have separate inspection lot having different batch number.
    But for in-process I can have only one inspection lot for the production order (created on release of the production order). I can do the result recording but while trying to do UD u2013 it is asking for a batch number as the material is batch managed. W/o entering the batch number system is not allowing me to do the UD.
    Is there any solution/work around of this problem.
    -Regards
    ashim

    Hi Ashim,
    you raised a very good question? i am helpless here to execute same scenario,
    but i disussed with my QM guy here, he said, once the material is batch managed then it has to ahve batch in UD.
    so i discussed ur case, which is very much valid for heavy ind like cement and all,
    so what i suggest, u create a dummy batch in the UD for in process (no inventory posting)
    and at confimation give ur usual batch (if system propose the dummy batch which u give in the UD for inprocess, try to change there--- i hope it should allow)
    i would really like to here answer from u for this.
    try to do as suggested, and let me know the results.

  • QM- In-process inspection Setup

    Hi all,
    My requirement is :
    - to setup inprocess inspection in the final operation in routing,
    - the operation and order can only be confirmed if the usage decision of inspection is favorable.
    - want Auto GR to happen after favorable usage decision and subsequent operation& order confirmation.
    I have done the following:
    - attached an in process inspection type with a required UD set and made it active
    -created an MIC and assigned in routing
    -assigned a control key that allows inspection and autoGR to the final operation in routing.
    The following happens when i test my setup
    - When i release the order an inspection lot is created.
    BUT, the problem i face is that when i confirm the final operation the Auto GR happens and the FG is posted to unrestricted stock even though the usage decision is not entered for the inspection lot. What i want is that on confirming the order the FG should be posted in Quality stock and once i enter the favorable usage decision it should automatically get posted to unrestricted use.
    Could you please tell me what i am missing here?
    Thanks,
    Ashok

    Hi!,
    Actually inprocess inspection doesn't involve any inventory movement. Means you can't control any goods movement with inspection type "03".  Only inspection types 01, 04 and 08 involves control on goods movements. For your requirement you need to opt for goods receipt inspection i.e. inspection type "04". For this you need to assign an inspection setup in material master with insp type "04", create an inspection plan for the produced material. Now when you make an order and confirm some quantity then system will create an inspection lot and till you give UD to that the confirmed quantity will remain in quality stock.
    I hope this will solve your problem. In case of further queries please revert back.

  • REM: production tracking, rework, and in-process inspection

    Gurus,
    I have three issues with REM, and I have my own views on them:
    1. Rework: In case of discrete manufacturing with the help of trigger functions we can generate an operation (in the same  order) or a rework order to cary out reprocessing. But in case of REM we cannot achieve this because there would be no order for inserting new operation and since it is REM we should not generate a new order. The only way is to manually backflush the activities and components (without any reporting point).
    2. Tracking: In case of discrete we have a set of system generated production orders through we can track the GRs, confirmations and issues. But in case of REM we can track those parameters only against cost collector. Only way to know the pending activities is to carry out backflushing against planned orders (which are subjected to reduction) and check pending GR/GI/Operations with the help of the remaining planned orders. Are there any standard reports on that?
    3. In-process Inspection: Can be achieved through inspection type 13 and lot needs to be generated through t-code MFPR.
    Kindly let me know if my understandings are correct. Please let me know if there are other way arounds in Standard SAP.
    Thanks in advance!
    Snigdho

    HI
    As In discrete there is no Rework order in REM.For Tracking you need to assign the Planned order to the Prdocution versions in Planning table thru MF50 and then Backflush against the planned order .Check report MCP6/ MCP8 for GR against planned orders.
    Inprocess inspection can be done thru 13 and lot generation is done thru MFPR.
    hope it is useful.

  • In-process  inspection for rework operation

    Hi all,
    i have a production order to which the in-process inspection characteristics are assigned in routing. when a production order is released, an in-process inspection lot is created. Inspection is carried after the end of an operation.  During which rework will be carried out if the product is rejected.   Rework operations are trigged through trigger points assigned to the production order. A reference operations set indicating the rework operations is assigned to the trigger point. rework operation in the reference opeation set is also assigned with inspection characteristics.  But during the results recording, the rework inspection characteristics are not displayed for results recording.....
    pls explain the possible solution.
    regards,
    sravan kumar v

    Hello
    I think that the process can be mapped in one of these ways:
    - according to what you describe this is closer to a good receipt inspection and not to in-process inspection, as the trigger for the inspection is the GR and not the release of the order. So, why dont you give a chance to a 04 inspection type, with inspection lot creation for every GR ? Check the indictor in MM02, QM view for "04" inspection, and uncheck the "Stock in quality", so you dont get caught by the stock in quality and resembles in process "Non-stock relevant" inspection
    - alternatively you can define the use of inspection points ? So you are adding new results as new confirmations are made. Disadvantage: you can only give one usage decision to the inspection Lot, irrespective of the number of samples you have analyzed.
    Regards

  • Repetitive mfg - In-process inspection

    Hi,
    Can we do in-process inspection in repetitve mfg. 
    Regards,
    Sravan Kumar

    Dear,
    Inspection Type 13 Repetitive Manufacturing: Production lines produce the same product in an unlimited number over a longer period of time. Example: Screws M8 x 40 mm (Mass production). In this case inspection plans need a relation to either time, numbers etc.
    In the material master record for the finished product, you must set the indicator for quality inspection in the Quality Management view. Moreover, in the QM inspection data, you must also select and activate an inspection type with the origin 13 (repetitive manufacturing).
