IN PROCESS INSPECTION, QM operation blocking next PP Operation

Evening dear members.
It is possible to create a QM operation which could block the next PP operation on a PP recipe/route, until the QM one is released/confirmed/finished.?
Example:
10 PP operation CLEANING
20 QM operation MICROBIOLOGY TESTS
**if results of 20 are A-OK,,,,release/open/allow**
30 PP operation 1st PP OPERATION
40 QM operation DOESNT BLOCK next operation
50 PP....... and so on
If yes, what do I have to mantain to do so?
Appreciate your feedback

hi,
Create one new Control key for Inspection operations in:
QCC0>Quality Planning>Inspection Planning>Operation>Define Control Keys for Insp. Operations.
If it is for QM operation, do not forget to flag "insp char. required".
And in "Confirmation" field, Select "1" Milestone Confirmation.
now, if you assign this key (With Milestone Confirmation) for Operation 0020,0030, 0040;
System will not allow to Confirm 0030,0040 unless 0020 is not confirmed.
Check this in your Case. i hope it will solve your problem.

In process quality inspection in operation of a process order

Hi,
PP-PI inprocess quality inspection at operation level
I am creating a process order having two operation. the first is quality inspection (inprocess inspection) & last is related to consumption of some materials.
The control key in operations are pi02,pi03(miles stone confirmation). i am using insp type 03 in material master
user needs insp. happen first then consumption of material.
my question is
1.when operation first get triggered quality lot generated i enter RR & do UD.but here i can not see the insp lot stock as subscreen. why? then how can i block defect qty in block stock?
2.how can i consume material in the same quality operation?
With Regards,
Kareena

Hi Kareena,
I think the thread is going in other direction. You were asking for some solution to mentioned the consumption.............
That can be taken care..........
For 03 - "In process inspection" lot as yield confirmation by activating the STD function of SAP as I have mentioned in my last post.
For 04 - "Inspection against GR form Production" lot, by stock posting.
For any lot you can do customization in "EXIT_SAPLQEEM_011", to post the material consumption at each MIC/Operation valuation.
But now the entire scenario what you are asking is bit confusing.
You wrote
I think for process order,
quality activity confirmation we are talking
& for this i have not maintained inspection
point or inspection point identification.
i am doing RR from qe11.
It seems you we are talking about 03 type inspection lot. that you can relate with the option I have mentioned in the beginning of this reply.
in my inspection plan for the material
i have maintained 5 different characterstics
in that row i can not see the sampling
procedure,base unit of measure,
base quantity all these field are gray in color
i have defined sampling procedure also
i have not maintained inspection point identification.
Where you have mentioned these 5MICs?
If it is inspection plan, then it will go with 04 Type.
If it is Master Recipe/Routing, then it will go with 03 Type.
Now the other point you wrote the MIC Line item have the fields GREY for Sampling Procedure,&...........&.......So to activate them,
Select the line item for MIC, click on the Control Indicator (Sampling Procedure) and then you will be able to assign the Sampling Procedure to MIC.
The fields "Inspect" & "Inspected" are related with the "Insp. Scope" with the MIC. The scope is define at the Control indicators for the MICs (On Page2 for the Indicators). There are four Radio Buttons to define the Inspection Scope.
Scope not Fixed
If you set this indicator, the number of inspected units is defined by the user for results recording.
This number does not have to agree with the precalculated number of inspected units.
E.g. If the the sample size for that particular MIC is not fixed ever and you will supposed to enter it at the time of RR you should define this indicator and the field will open for entry in QE11.
Fixed Scope
If you set this indicator, the number of inspected units must correspond
to the precalculated number of units to be inspected for results
recording.
The system can perform a valuation for the inspection characteristic based on the number of nonconforming units or the number of defects in the sample.
And the field will be GREY, non - modifiable.
Similarly the larger and smaller scopes work.

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.

Production order should be confirmed before in-process inspection UD

We guys,
I have activated the In-process inspection for one Finished goods and inspection lot is getting created when Production order released. This production order can be confirmed without UD for In-process inspection lot.
Please let know How can I control that Production order should not be able confirm before UD of Inspection lot for in-process inspection.
When production order released it means an production has just starded. Then What is the meaning in getting the inspection lot created on release of production. I think it is supposed to be on completion of each opration.
Please give your inputs.
Thanks
Dhanu

Hello
inprocess inspection are used to assisst you to record results , defect , rework, during the production operation. It is defined to get created during the release of the order. It gives QM personnel a control over the quantity confirmation. You can do the result recording based on time and quantity.
Operation confirmation and UD are independent and it will not be possible to do confirmation once you do the UD.
The controls that can be brought in 03 inspection for a better usage
1) Result recording mandatory for all inspection points
2) QM operation can be confirmed only by QM personnel
3) At the time of GR of the order check whether UD for the lot is given. Make UD mandatory for GR of the order
4) Only after QM operation confirmation the next operation can be confirmed
5) make use of Rework to capture rework cost and First Pass Yield
Hope this gives some picture to you

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.
Regards,
Sravan Kumar V

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.

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.

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.

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 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.

In-Process Inspection material having inspection type 04

Dear Sir/Mam
My question.In-Process Inspection material having inspection type 04.As we accept the inspection lot we put the stock into unrestricted.But when we have to reject we convert that stock into new material or if rework to be carried out,the criteria is stock should be quality,than production people cancel the confirmation and rework is carried out through trigger point.So my concern can we put the stock in block and in background whole production order is cancelled.
Thanks
kunal

Dear Kunal
This is the process i have defined for rework. let me know your feedback
1.Reject the material in QA32 to block stock
2.Reverse faulty material using Tcode MB1A u2013 262 movement type against the production order
3.if you need to scrap highly faulty materials use Tcode MB1A u2013 551 movement type against a cost centre
4.Create a rework order using Tcode Co01 order type (PP03)
5.Enter the Parent production order number in the goods receipt tab in Co01. (inbound delivery)
6.Issue goods against the rework order using MIGO
7.confirm the rework order through co11n
8.Move the material back from block to quality using Tcode MB1B u2013 349 movement type (activate 08 inspection)
9.Inspection lot created
10.Do the posting accordingly

Gajesh

In process Inspection Lot Qty and Actual Lot quantity difference.

Hi Experts,
In case of In process Inspection
Scenario : 1. Production Order created, released but before saving the qty is changed.
2. Production Order created released and saved. Then qty is changed in Change Prod order txn.
These scenarios are causing a discrepancy in Inspection Lot Qty and Actual Lot quantity. Is there any method to avoid this ?
This can be made correct in Inspection lot by resetting the sample calculation. But once confirmation has started for Prodn Order (not necessarily QC operation) or RR has been done resetting is not possible.
Is this the std behavior ? Disallowing the resetting once RR done seems OK, but even if any of the operation in Prodn Order is confirmed it still give status error while resetting. Canceling all the confirmation all the way back also does not solve the problem.
Any suggestions ?
Regards
Joe

Hi
Although your suggestion is valid, it is not practical from user point of view.

In-process inspection...how to stop the process order confirmation?

Hi...i'm making an in-process inspection and i want to stop the movement to the next phase or the process order confirmation, until the usage decision is made...how can i make this ?

Dear,
You can do this with OPK4 setting here slect your plant and process order type go in details here change the setting to
Results Rec. (QM) = Error message if no inspection result exist.
