Early inspection lot

Dear Experts,
I have created a scenario for Early lot creation for GR against process order. Means when I release the process order, immediately GR lot is generated. Now when I actually do the GR, the system should consider the same lot. But in my case the system is generating one more inspection lot. Can you please help me, why this is happening.
Thanks & regards
Milind

Hi Milind,
Check whether you have posted a different batch to warehouse or you have made a GR posting to a different storage location. In such cases a new lot will be generated for 04 inspection although an early inspection lot already exists.
Please check and revert.

Swati

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!!

Problem in Early Inspection Lot

Hi Gurus,
We are using 04 inspection- early lot inspection.
Production order quantity is 100Ton. Confirmation done for 75Ton. UD given for the lot with 75Ton. But at the time of confirming remaining 25 Ton, a new lot has been generated. There is no requirement of new lot. How to avoid the second lot?
Thanks in Advance

Hi
new inspection lots are created when:
The batch is changed for materials subject to batch management,
Goods receipts are posted to different plants or storage locations,
A previously created inspection lot has already been completely credited from the stock,
Different special stocks are being posted,
A previously created inspection lot has been canceled

What is the Earlier Inspection process

Dear Folks,
What is the earlier inspection process ?
And my actual requirement is , i want to do the final inspection process for a material with refernece to a production order and i want to do another operation with reference to the same production order after completion of this final inspection operation.
I heared that through earlier inspection process it is possible. But i do not what is that.
Can anybody explain the earlier inspection process.
thanx in advance .
Regards
Srinivas

Hi,
Early Inspection Lot:
Excerpts from Std SAP documentation:
An inspection lot with inspection lot origin 04 is created when a
production or process order is released. You can use this inspection
lot to inspect goods receipts of the finished quantities and then
manage them after goods receipt posting in the inspection lot stock.
Recommendation: Avoid making a usage decision for this type of early
inspection lot before any goods receipts have been posted. The usage
decision will then have a stock quantity of 0, but will not have the
status completely credited. This means that any following goods
receipts will be posted into the stock for this inspection lot. You
must then credit this lot from the stock quantity yourself, even if
you do not intend to perform further checks.
Hope this helps

Rescheduling of QM Inspection Lot

Dear SAP Guro,
We are dealing a scenario now, wherein for some point in time the QM inspection lot is rescheduled automatically. We noticed this when the production order was rescheduled during the weekend. Example: PO#12345 is rescheduled on a weekend, while the inspection lot for the needed material or component has a schedule falling on weekdays, this QM ILot is supposed to be rescheduled on a weekend also so that the production will be completed but this is not happening. The QM ILot is only rescheduled when the production order which will be using the material fall on a weekend. Is this a normal SAP behavior? Or, the factory calendar assigned to the plant and work center has something to do with this? As we have noticed, the plant is using N1 Factory calendar wherein weekends are non-working days, this N1 calendar is also assigned to the QM work center. The other calendar N2, wherein all days of the month are working days, is assigned to the production order work center. we tried to change the Factory calendar of the QM Work Center but still, the inspection lot is not rescheduled on a weekend.
Kindly let us know your thoughts on this. Any suggestions will be greatly apprecaited.
Kind regards,
JMT

Early inpection lot

Hi All,
Need help.......
A material is having the early inspection lot -04 type..... now the status of the inspection lot is UD ICCO SPRQ CLAS PRII PRSI STUP.
when i try to close the Process order for this material, getting error as
Inspection lot xxxxxxxx for order yyyyyyyyy does not have necessary status
SAP help is:
Inspection type 04
The inspection lot must have the status 'Stock Postings Completed' or must have been cancelled.
Early inspection lot of inspection type 04
The inspection lot must have the status 'Stock Postings Completed' or must have been cancelled. If these two preconditions are not satisfied, the inspection lot must have the status 'Usage Decision Made' and the status PAKO (All Inspections Completed) must be active.
As per my understanding the status "ICCO" and "PAKO" are same- All inspections completed.
the inspection lot is having staus both UD and PAKO.
Why the order is not able to close.......?
please revert experts.

Prakash.B

Hi,
Thanks for the reply.
this order's were created in 2013 , now i cant do quantity posting....... As there is no stock available in inventory for that batch.
As per the SAP help:
Early inspection lot of inspection type 04
The inspection lot must have the status 'Stock Postings Completed' or must have been cancelled. If these two preconditions are not satisfied, the inspection lot must have the status 'Usage Decision Made' and the status PAKO (All Inspections Completed) must be active.
the inspection lot is satisfying the above condition UD and all inspection completed.....
why system is not allowing me to close the order...?

Problem Inspection lot 04 (early creation)

Hi Experts,
following problem:
We use early creation for inspection lot 04.
If Production Order was released the insp. lot was created. There is no stock quantity available in the lot, which is correct).
If i do the result recording and UD (Accepted), the insp. lot is finish.
After this step I do the confirmation of the Prod.Order and the goods receive (MB31) from production to stock.
I thought the material should go directly to main stock because of UD (Accepted).
But SAP moved the material to 917 (Q-Stock) and refresh the insp. lot with stock quantity.
I have to change the insp. lot to move the material from Q-Stock(917) to main stock.
This is not what we want.
If we do the accepance-UD before prod.order was doing the goods receive, the material should not go to quality. Should go
directly to main stock.
Is there a possibility or special setup which supports this process ?
Can someone give me a hint what I have to do ?
Thanks !
Tom

Hi,
the reason why we will proceed in this way is the following:
Our customer wants to do a inspection after production is done and before goods receive.
We (QM) have to inform the customer min a week before finish the production. this is the reason for the early lot creation.
Sometimes the customer told us, it's not necessary to do the inspection. This is the reason why we will do the UD before the
goods receive from the production order is done. We will avoid that the material will be moved to QM because tehre a re no activities necessary.
So, is there a possibility move the material(if UD was done before goods receive) dirctly into main stock or is there a exit which can ´do the "posting" in the QM-lot automatically?
thanks for your help !

Enhancement-One inspection lot for early lot and serial profile

Hi,
I have a requirement shown below.
Can anyone guide me to proceed this Enhancement from the start?
Inspection lot for production order is created at production order release, when the finished good has a serialnumber profile assigned in the materials master and the serialnumbers are captured in the handling unit assigned to the production order, the system will create another inspection lot.
Required system enhancement:
Only 1 inspection lot per production order should be generated.
NB. Without this enhancement both inspection lots created for the production order have to be closed to be able to close the production order.

Please try with sub-routine: userexit_move_field_to_lips or userexit_save_document of include: MV50AFZ1.
I guess clearing LIPS-QPLOS for specific conditions would do the trick for you..

Inspection lot of cancelled process orders

Hi Gurus,
I would like to ask if there is an easier way of knowing if the order of an inspection lot was cancelled. Right now the business is on early lot creation, meaning once the order is created an inspection lot is also created. The problem is when the order is cancelled there is no way of knowing it through QA32 unless you go to the order itself.
Is there an easier way of knowing what orders are cancelled (TECO without confirmation)?
Thank you for your help!
Eva

Hi,
But they don't really cancel process orders. They use TECO.
Thank you.

Avoiding creation of inspection lot for certain vendors.

Hi,
There is one requirement from my client side , that Inspection lot should not be created for certain vendors ( Issuing plant also consider as vendor here).
The correct requirement is if it is transfered from other plants it should not create the lot and on the other vendors it should create.
We have a have a option through maintaining the QM info record but it was not maintained earlier and newly creation is too difficult.
I remember there is some exit is available to overcome this. Any one having the earlier experince on this...Provide the exit and FM name... High priority one.
Regards
Pragash

Dear Pragash
1) You can maintain Quality info Record in enmass using QI06. Only maintain for the vendor you need to skip.
2) This exit can help you in controling the inspection lot

One inspection lot for multiple materials of purchase order line items

Hi All,
My client requirement is one inspection lot for multiple materials of purchase order line items.
Please share your thoughts.
Thanks in advance for early reply.
Regards,
Jishu

I totally agree with Amol.
I don't think I would touch that development nor would I ever tell a client it could reliably be done through development.
Knowing what I know about the table structures, I don't think you could create any development for this that could use a significant amount of the existing tables and functionality. I think you'd have to create all your own Z tables and basically rebuild the functionality. Tying it back in with SAP data will be difficult.
You're even looking at all custom screens for your results recording and UD as well. And if you have follow-on functions like batch classification requirements, batch determination, COA publication, results copy functions, use of DMR and sampling procedures, physical samples, quality notifications, etc. etc.. you could be looking a whole lot of development.

Inspection lot number ranges skipping

My inspection lot number ranges are skipping, those are std number ranges like 01 origin, 04 origin etc, what could be the reason for that.
Inspn lots are getting generated and I took UD also. But certain numbers in the range got skipped.
Eg:- Incoming inspn lot 010000000041 then it comes 010000000045
Lot numbers 01/42, 01/43, 01/44 does not exist in sytem.
Please suggest a way out
Thanks
Vineeth
Edited by: vineeth varghese on Jul 18, 2008 11:31 AM

Craig,
But expert suggestion says, not to switch off buffer thru SNRO as it may affect fuctionality as you said early in this discussion.
But I believe, this is to be relooked by SAP as number range skipping is not good (My case its skipping 5-7 numbers at a time). But I am not convinced with the reply from SAP also.
Anyway thanks to you craig for your advice.
SAP Note on this matter for reference of all. Thanks
================================
Note: 62077
Summary
Symptom
Gaps (jumps) occur when allocating internal numbers.
The status of the number range interval does not match the number that was last assigned.
The number assignment does not reflect the insert sequence.
IMPORTANT: Read Notes 504875 and 678501.
Other terms
Document number, number range, number range object, buffering, current number level, trip number assignment, number interval, CO document, CO actual posting, inspection lot, material document, physical inventory document, production order number, planned order number, process order number, maintenance order number
FB01, VF01, KO88, KE21, KE11, FD01, FK01, XK01, XDN1, MB01, MB0A, MB11, MB1A, MB1B, MB1C, MB31, KANK, KB11, KB13, KB14, KB41, KB43, KB44, KB21, KB23, KB24, KB31, KB33, KB34, KB51, KB53, KB54, PR01, PR02, PR03, PR04, PR05, XD01, VD01, MK01, SNUM, SM56, SNRO, VL01, VL02, CO01, CO40, CO41, VA01, MR1M, MIRO
Reason and Prerequisites
A large number of number range objects are buffered. When the system buffers a number range object, it does not update numbers individually in the database but reserves a preset group of numbers (depending on the number range object) in the database the first time a number is requested, and makes these numbers available to the application server in question. The following numbers can then be taken directly from the application server buffer. New numbers are not used in the database until the application server buffer has been used up.
The effects described under "Symptom" are a direct consequence of this:
If an application server is shut down, the numbers that are left in the buffer (that is, that are not yet assigned) are lost. As a result, there are gaps in the number assignment.
The status of the number range interval reflects the next free number that has not yet been transferred to an application server for intermediate buffering. The current number level therefore does not display the number of the "next" object.
The current number level (for each server) can be displayed using Transaction SM56. Call transaction SM56 and choose the menu 'Goto' -> 'Entries'. In the dialog box, enter the client, the affected number range object (for example, RK_BELEG) and possibly the required subobject (corresponds to the controlling area for the object RK_BELEG).
If you use several application servers, the numerical sequence will not reflect the (chronological) insert sequence because the numbers are buffered separately on the individual hosts.
Buffering the number range objects has a positive effect on performance, because the system no longer has to access the database (number range table NRIV) for each posting. Furthermore, a serialization of this table (database locking) is prevented to a large extent so that posting procedures can be carried out in parallel.
Solution
Since number range buffering does not cause any expressly assured qualities to be lost, no correction is required.
If you still require continuous allocation, you can deactivate the number range buffering specifically for individual objects.
Proceed as follows:
- Start Transaction SNRO and enter the affected object.
- Choose 'Change'.
- Deactivate buffering: Choose 'Edit' -> 'Set Up Buffering' -> 'No Buffering'.
- If you want to change the buffer size only, enter the corresponding value in the field 'No. of numbers in buffer'.
- Save the changes.
Please note that this change is a modification. The modification is overwritten as soon as the affected number range object is redelivered - in other words, you must check the change manually each time you import a release.
In particular, read Note 678501, bearing in mind that changing the buffering type - if not explicitly recommended by SAP - constitutes a modification. For other possible solutions, refer to the following notes:
179224, 599157 and 840901.
For the the following number range objects, gaps may cause users to have doubts since they are 'expecting' a sequential numbering:
Area CO:
- RK_BELEG   (CO Document)
CAUTION: Note that the problems described in Notes 20965 and 29030 may occur if you deactivate buffering.
- COPA_IST (Document number in actual posting)
- COPA_PLAN (Document number in planned posting)
- COPA_OBJ   (Profitability segment number)
Area FI:
- DEBITOR    (Customer master data)
- KREDITOR   (Vendor master data)
Area HR:
- RP_REINR (Trip numbers)
Area PM, PP, PS
- AUFTRAG    (Order number, production, process, maintenance order, network number)
- QMEL_NR    (Number range - message)
Area MM:
- MATBELEG   (Material documents)
- MATERIALNR (Material master)
Area QM:
- QLOSE      (Inspection lots in QM)
- QMEL_NR    (Number range - message)
- QMERK      (Confirmation number)
- QMERKMALE (Master inspection characteristics in QSS)
- QMERKRUECK (Confirmation number of an inspection characteristic in QM results processing)
- QMETHODEN (Inspection methods in QM)
- ROUTING_Q (Number ranges for inspection plans)
- QCONTROLCH (Quality control chart)
Area Workflow:
- EDIDOC     (IDocs)
Number range buffering can be activated or deactivated at any time.
Number range objects that have to be continuous due to legal specifications (for example, RF_BELEG, RV_BELEG), or due to a corresponding application logic must not be buffered using the buffering type 'Main memory buffering'. See also Notes 37844 (for RF_BELEG) and 23835 (for RV_BELEG).

Inspection Lot with Zero stock posting qty

Dear QM Consultants,
We have come across following scenario,
1.     Repetitive manufacturing
2.     Material has inspection type 04 and Z04. Preferred inspection type is not ticked. Z04 inspection type has been assigned to inspection lot 04.
3.     Production GR done by 131 movement
4.     Inspection lot generated with reference to 131 movement type. Lot for inspection type 04 is created.
5.     Inspection lot qty in QA32 it shows correctly as that of GR qty.
6.     But when we click on UD, in stock posting tab, qty to be posted it shows as ZERO. So no qty is available for stock posting.
Has anybody came across such scenario? Is this any bug? Any SAP note for this?
Best Regards,
Anand Rao

Dear Sujit, Thanks for so prompt reply,
Basically this is a complex case,
1.     See we have set Posting Proposal in Usage Decision as u2018To unrestricted useu2019 in selected sets for usage decision. That means we need not every time go to stock posting tab. The moment we select ACC UD code it automatically posts the stock to unrestricted use.
2.     Now, what has happed, by 131 movement declaration, backflush happened with 261 movement for child parts.
3.     Inspection lots with inspection type 04 were created. (Here we did not note whether the stock was posted in quality inspection or in unrestricted use)
4.     Now the requirement is to cancel 131 movement document. Kindly note UD were not given up to this moment.
5.     Now through MFBF, user did document specific reversal. As a result of which and as per my knowledge 132 movement should happen and 262 should also happen. At the same time inspection lot status should be set to LTCA. But in actual case 132 movement happened and 262 did not. Surprisingly inspection lot did not set to LTCA status. It remained in REL mode only.
6.     After this document specific reversal, user gave UD to these inspection lots without noticing where the stock was lying.(in unrestricted or in quality inspection). So the lot status set to UD   ICCO SPCO STUP after giving usage decision.
7.     Now while doing reverse engineering that why 262 movement did not happen, we came to know that no 321 movement happened for the inspection lots which were generated with reference 131 movement document
8.     Also, qty to be posted it shows ZERO as explained in my earlier post.
9.     When we display 132 movement document through MIGO, in where tab it shows stock type as Quality inspection. That means stock was lifted from QI for 132 movement.
In short it cannot be predicted where the stock was actually posted whether in QI or in unrestricted use. But yes the post to inspection stock tick has been ticked in material master.
Can you help further in this regard?
Best Regards
Anand Rao

Goods movement with Inspection Lot

Hi
We would like to do a Material to Material posting including the earlier created inspection lots for the initial material?
Is it possible in QM to transfer /link an inspection lot with batch from one material to another material?
Ex: one material has inspection stock with assigned inspection lot/batch. we would like transfer posting this stock to other material. Is it possible by transfer the inspection lot from one material to other material with inspection lot/Batch?

Hi,
We can trasfer the stcok from one material to another material from Quality lot itself , but we cannot assign one lot to two materials. If you want inspection lot in receiving plant then activate 08 inspection type in Material Master and maintain inspection settings for 331 M.Type in SPRO.
Regards,
Vikas.

Outbound trigerring for Inspection Lots

Hi Friends,
I am working on QM. I have to trigger inspection lots data in the form of an outbound idoc. I need to find out any creation/change in inspection lots data.
In this scenario the inspection lots will be created/changed when:
1) there is a creation/change (QA01, 02)
2) Production orders are released (CO02, 05)
3) GR done (MIGO), stock posted in QI.
Has anyone worked on such a requirement earlier? Any suggestions on flow-logic for picking up the inspection lots data in a custom wrapper program?
Thanks in Advance...
Birendra Chatterjee

Hi,
you should be able to create inspection lots when executing
BAPI_GOODSMVT_CREATE. See for example the attached note 536769 that
is about wrong status in the inspection lot created in this way.
Please review your data used for testing this BAPI.
