Control on the Creation of Inspection lot

Question

Hi all,
In my requirement, we have a material which is subcontracted and in the process, we will have some rejection. Hence the rejected material will be received in to the system with an account assignment category (cost centre). For both the line items in the PO, the inspection lot will get triggered, but the requirement is that the lot should not be generated for the rejected material.
thanks & regards

Answer 1

Hi Chaitanya,
Well, I observe a functional loophole here.
1.     As you mention, you inward rejected material against cost center, it means you must be using account assignment category K  in PO.
2.     My question is, if the material is rejected, why you are inwarding it against cost center as it consumes the value on your account and not on vendoru2019s account.
3.     Ideally it should be debited on vendoru2019s account if its vendoru2019s fault.
4.     The practice should be, inward all the material irrespective of rejection. Reject the material through 122 movement and proceed for payment for the acceptable quantity.
Letu2019s talk about your scenario where you donu2019t want inspection lot generation
1.     Whenever you inward the material with account assignment category as K the stock gets consumed at the same moment and you observe no rise in stock level.
2.     But if you have activated inspection type 01 in material master, system creates inspection lot for this movement.
3.     Kindly note this inspection lot is stock irrelevant.
4.     That means you need not do stock posting. Only UD is sufficient as the lot doesnu2019t contain any stock.
5.     Albeit you donu2019t want system to generate lot, you may explore user exit QPL10001 and write your own logic that whenever account assignment category is K do not create inspection lot.
