DMR level change at UD vs lot creation

Hi,
     Can someone in simple English give me the business reason to have Q level change at lot creation level and at UD level. In what cases would one use either of them ? I have read the help and know how to configure in the system but need the business reason to chose one or the other. Please dont send me the link to help or to past posts which speak about how to create DMR rules in the system.
Thanks
GS

No matter which one you pick, you can have issues.  It's picking the lessor of two evils.
The issue comes in when you have the potential of having more than one inspection lot active at a time that uses quality levels and dynamic modifications.
For "at lot creation" when you create a lot the quality level is checked and modified according to the established rules to the next "postition" or stage if you want.  It ASSUMES the lot just created will pass.  In this case if the lot fails, you have to manually fix the quality level after a fail.  If another lot comes in before you maually fix it, it could be skipped or reduced testing.
For "at UD" the quality level is updated when UD is made.  In this case when a lot is created before the UD is made on a previous lot, the quality level is still at the same level as the previous lot.  As a result the new lot will be created at a level which maybe it shouldn't be.  Which could be wrong if the UD fails or passes on the previous lot.  In this case, the failure at UD on the first lot will reset the quality level and the next lot created should be at the right level, but the inbetween lot might not have been.
Follow that?

  • Change of Inspection Lot Specifications at the time of lot creation

    Hi,
    We are using In-process inspeciton.
    At the time of Production Order release an Inspection Lot is created automatically.
    We want the Lot Specification values to be changed based up on the Configuration of the Sales Order.
    Is there any User Exit or BADI  that can be used for this purpose?
    Ramakanth

    Hii,
    Lot specifcation values cannot be changed once inspection lot is created. If u know specification only after creation of inspection lot then u include unplanned inspection charcteristics. Here u can define spec after lot creation also.

  • Clear IDOC creation when only header level changes are made ME22N.

    Hi All,
    when the PO is  on changed in the header level only(for example header texts and header code)  and when we execute RSNAST00 one BADI getts triggered which checks if the Item category is 9 and  badi will clear the IDOC creation.
      If the PO item category is = 9, the IDOC must not be created. This badi works fine if the changes are made at
    1)at Item level
    2)both header level and Item level
    In case of 1 and 2 we have both header segment E1EDK01 and item segments E1EDP01.As a result it checks for the item category in the item segment.so idoc is not created.
    3)BADI is not working when the changes are made at the header level only. The IDOC is getting created even though the PO has the item category as 9.
    I found in this case only header segments are availble while debugging and the item segments are not there to check the condition for the item category.
    Please any one can suggest me possible solutions to  clear idoc creation when only header level changes are made ME22N.
    The BADI used is as below.
      DATA : lwa_data TYPE edidd.
      DATA : lw_dp01 TYPE e1edp01.
      DATA : lwa_control TYPE edidc.
      CHECK idoc_control-rcvprn = '3PL' AND idoc_control-idoctp = 'ORDERS05'.
      LOOP AT idoc_data INTO lwa_data.
        IF lwa_data-segnam = 'E1EDP01'.
          lw_dp01 = lwa_data-sdata.
          IF lw_dp01-pstyp = '9'.
            CLEAR create_idoc.
          ENDIF.
        ENDIF.
      ENDLOOP.
    ENDMETHO
    Thanks in advance.

    Hi all,
    Is there  any way that I can get the item category details when Only header level changes are made to the PO in ME22N and only header segments are available in the IDOC.
    Is this possible:- Fetch the po number and item category details from ekpo table that matches with  the header segment po number and then check for item category value  to clear the idoc creation?
    Any information is helpfull.

  • 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.

  • Batch status at recurring insp lot creation

    We have setu recurring insp 09 for few materials. We use "insp stock at creation" option. So system work as expected and create lot and put stock in QI, but still batch status remain "unrestricted". Our req is at the time of lot creation it self system should set batch status as "restricted". How to setup it?
    When system setup "restricted" status for recurring batch? Help appreciated.

    check option
    Recurring Inspection: Block Batch at Lot Creation
    Specifies, that a batch is blocked, when the inspection lot is created, if the inspection date lies within the opening period.
    Use
    If you choose this option, batches are blocked, if their next inspection date lies within the opening period:
    If the batch status management is active in the corresponding plant, the batch status is changed to "restricted".
    If the batch status management is not active in the corresponding plant, the batch stocks are transferred to the blocked stock.
    If the batch status has changed or a transfer posting takes place, a new inspection lot is created for each storage location.
    If a relevant inspection lot already exists and the next inspection date has already been reached, the change of the batch status or the transfer posting also takes place

  • 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?
    Regards
    Ram

    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.
    Cheers,

  • 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
    Silly

    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.

  • Early Inspection Lot Creation on Goods Receipt

    I work for a company that melts steel into batches referred to as Heats.  Each of these Heats are processed through various steps to create tubing.  In the tubing operations multiple Heats are applied to production orders but the integrity of each Heat is always maintained.  If we do a Goods Issue for 6 Heats into a production order, we expect to do a Goods Receipt of 6 Heats from that production order and inherit all of the Heat related characteristics for each Heat processed.  At certain points we do laboratory tests for chemisties and properties of each Heat.  These tests are run while the order is being processed through other operations but need to be recorded against the batch.  We are thinking that we need to do Goods Receipt Inspection with Early Inspection Lot Creation.  It looks like this method will create a single Inspection Lot upon release of the Production order.  Is there a way to create multiple Inspection Lots that will correspond to Heat batches prior to the actual Goods Receipt?

    6 partial GR (Heats) are done against 1 production order? Then, you will have one inspection lot and one usage decision for the entire lot (03 / 04: Goods Receipt Inspection with Early Inspection Lot Creation.).
    Think this: Each heat can be one sample/ inspection point each, in case of early goods receipt. So, if you have 6 samples: 3 pass and 3 fails, then do the Usage decision on 3/6th of the quantity at the end of the test: this needs to done manual stock psting while doing the UD.
    So, you do the inspection at the sample levels, but not at multiple inspection lot level.
    There is a way to create mutiple inspection lots on partial GR for the same process order.
    The logic lies like this, if your previous inspection lot is reset on usage decision, then you will get a new inspection lot when doing a partial GR.
    If the UD is not reset case:
    (a) Usage decision open: It will increase the QI stock in the same inspection lot. This means no new inspection lot creation.
    (b) Usage decision done: It will post to unrestricted, thinking that the rest of the sample is OK!! So, again no new inspection lot creation.
    This I tried on 04 inspection type. I am not sure on 03. Hope this helps!!

  • 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

  • Process Order COR2, main product + co-product automatic lots creation

    Hello Gurus, I'm a programmer but before starting the enhancment of standard I want to be sure that there is no other solution (in customizing)
    I have the following situation
    Maint Product A
    Co-product B
    Current situtation
    I have a process order in COR2, when the process order is released and than saved automatic inspection lot is created only for Maint Product A
    Requiered situation
    Requiered situation is that while process order release also the inspection lot for Co-product B should be created
    Is there any chance to do it using customizng
    At the moment for both materials A and B there is the same inspection type assinged and the orgin type is '04' and also the control of inspection lot creation is set to 'Y'.
    Is there any chance to change sometihg (inspection type, orgin type, something in MM)
    NOTE: I would like to do it without doing a GR for Co-product B but exactly have a lot for Co-Product after releasing PO in COR2 like it is for Main Product now
    I will really appreciate your notes
    Thank you in advance Bogumila
    Edited by: Bogumila Wendt-Rybak on Jul 17, 2009 10:57 AM

    I dont think we can have a inspection lot created automatically for the co-products upon the Order creation .i.e release...
    U would have to make it via enhancement... also i believe u can customize a separte inspection type and then use it to create inspection lot..
    hope this helps.

    Thanks for that
    but when i am moving the stock from  Plant  Sloc A to same plant Sloc B one more inspection lot is cretaed (movment type 311)
    if i go to SPRO i can deactivate 311 movement type to avoid creating inspection lot
    but it is client level , i need to restrict only for one plant
    is there any other way to control  just one inspection lot for one GR
    if you are not clear with my writing pls do not hesitate to ask for more information

  • Manual Inspection lot creation

    Hi,
    In our scenario, there is customer inspection which is done after the final inspection.
    For this I have configured manual inspection lot creation after the final inspection.
    I expect that if a lot exists for a Sales order, it should not allow PGI for delivery.
    How can I set this?
    Regards
    Ramakanth

    With manual inspection, it may not be possible.But it possible by using standard inspection type 10.For this activate the insp type 10 in material master QM view and create the master data (insp plan). or you can use the same inspection as used for 04 insp type.For this do necessary config changes.Also in QM config, assign insp lot origin 10 to the delivery type used by SD(Std is LF).

  • Quality lot creation

    Hi
    In production order.. 3 operation are there...generally when production order has done GR ... Inspection lot has created..
    but here i want inspection lot created..at the time of  2nd opearation conformed/released...(inspection lot creation automatically at operation level)...is it possible.. any one could  guide me .. about this  issue..

    sesidhar

    Hi,
    If you are talking about 03 type inspection then it is not generated at the time of GR (3rd operation) but it is generated at the time of Order Release.
    Now if you are talking about 04 (Receipt against production order) then in general this type of inspection lot is generated at the time of GR, but if you want to create this inspection lot earlier before Goods Receipt then you have option of early Lot creation.For this go to QM view of Material Master and in Inspcetion type view select Inspection type 04.
    And select option Y Early Lot creation at Control Inspection Lot.
    This will generates the inspection lot at the time of order release (not at specific Operation) along with 03 inspection lot.

  • 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.
    Regards.
