Inspection Lot External Numbering

Dear All,
I wanted to try out the external numbering for Inspection Lot creation. My requirement is once the GRN happens user should be able to give the inspection lot number. I've used Inspection type 01 and in the config Maintain Inspection Lot Origin i assigned the new number range to that inspection origin. But when i try to GRN following error occurs.
Short text of error message:
Number range 16 of number range object QLOSE is not internal
Long text of error message:
Diagnosis
      The number range 16 for the number range object QLOSE requested by
      the system is not defined as an internal number range.
why is this happening? Is there a way to give external numbering to inspection lot?
Thanks and Regards,
DTD

Please refer reply by SAP
Maintain Number Ranges
In this step, you determine the number ranges for the inspection lots. These number ranges are stored in the inspection lot origin; they apply to the entire client.
The system only allocates the inspection lot numbers internally, based on the defined number range. Therefore, it is not advisable to define an external number range.
I hope ypu understood

Creation of Recurring Inspection Lots with Serial numbers

Hello,
We have the following scenario at our client :
MIGO_GR is used to create GR for materials with Serial number requirement. The serial numbers can be generated automatically or manually entered on the screen. At this point of time, the Shelf Life expiry date & Next Inspection date are calculated based upon the Production date. The Batch gets created with Next Inspection date, Inspection Lots are created and the Serial numbers are assigned by the system. The stock moves into QI.
The stock is moved from Quality restricted to Unrestricted stock via QA11. The serial numbers are handled by the system or can be managed on screen.
Transaction QA07 (Deadline Monitoring of Batches) is used to create Recurring Inspection. QA07 gives error message IO304 that "Only 0 serial numbers entered instead of 1". The problem is that system doesn't pick up the corresponding serial numbers.
OSS # 497845 mentions that Transaction QA07 can not handle serial number. The serial numbers are very critical to the business process.
Has anyone come across this situation before ? Please suggest solution or workaround. I tried using BAdI "INSPECTIONLOT_UPDATE" & was able to create Inspection Lots with serial number assignment, also manipulated Batch to change the Next Inspection date. The problem is Material Movement (322) Document does NOT get created.
Also tried implementing BAdI as per OSS # 608830 but doesn't give desired results.
Any help is greatly appreciated.

Why Inspection lot numbers are not in sequance?

Hi All,
In my business scenario I am creating inspection lot for inspection type 01. System does not create the inspection lot number in sequence for example if I do the GR system creates the inspection lot number say 1000000016, and after some time if I do the GR for the same PO and material I am getting the inspection lot number 1000000019, 25,35,175,225 like this? can some one let me know on this why this is happening? I checked in QALS table for the list. All created inspection lot numbers are not in sequence? Pls let me know
Thanks & Regards

Inspection lot for external service

Hi Gajesh/ Sujit/shyamal/ all
we are planning to use service master for external vendor's service, i have couple of questions
please share your experience, if anyone of you come across this kind of requirement
1. is it possible to create an inspection lot for external service?
2. we want to capture / validate the vendor's external service, weather it is accepted or not? sometime we need to enter quantitative value also
3. is there any setting or config for assign /create inspection lot for service master?
what I know is without material master we cannot create inspection lot but i don't know about service master.
thanks
Sami

Gajesh,
thanks for quick response.
2 business req. are as follows
1. vendror is performing periodic service, MM side external service order (service contract/PO)created, bsaed on thatPO vendors performing service.
service entry sheet they are capturing man hours and date of service.
business wants quality of service to be captured in QM inspectiion lot.
2. production order ---> routing -- operation ---> vendor & service PO number assigned external work --> now inspetion lot will be created for that material/production order.
how can we link service master, service entry sheet and inspection lot?
how to map for this req.?
again is't possible to create inspection lot for service master?(without material master)if your answer is yes, then where/how can we assign inspection type ? which inspection type?
thanks
Sami

Inspection lot numbers are missing ... ?

Dear friends
in quality inpection lots for 01 type inspection , the lot numbers are missing alternatively.... for eg. lot numbers as 1,3,5.......etc.
Only now and then I am getting serial numbers...........Please analyse the root cause.

Hi,
Regarding the pattern, I would say it is always unpredictable.
Although the buffer is provided as 50 & system is supposed to pick the same, my exprience is that it is not fixed specially in case of inspection lot.
We do have same buffer but the lot number creation is uneven. This will be for initial few lots & it will be stabilised eventually.
This is not the thing to worry but still it concerns you a lot then you can raise the ticket to SAP with priority as high. The buffer making zero at this time won't be of much help as the numbers are already created.
Hope this helps you.

Manual Inspection Lot creation using Serial Numbers

Hi,
My requirement is to create inspection Lot for Serialized material manually.There is no trigger like Goods Receipt or Issue. I want to assign Serial number for the inspection lot to record the results. When I check the transaction QA01, I can only create it at Material level. Is there any standard way I can achieve this requirement?
I assigned the Serialized Profile and checked the check box " Serial Number Management Possible" in QM view of material master. Thanks.

Hi Tim,
There is a better way of capturing the Serial Numbers for each result recording by using the Inspection Point in the Inspection Plan.
You may create New Inspection Point in the configuration for the Serial Numbers assignment.
I hope that this will meet your requirement.

Bala

Quality Management During Goods Receipt (Inspection Lot)

Hi all,
>>>>>>>>>>>>
REQUIREMENT
<<<<<<<<<<<<
I have a requirement that i need to write an interface program which will receive a file from external agency (manufacturer) and process goods receipt until inspection results. The following steps need to be taken care of;
1) Create a equipment (Utilities - It is an unique identifier for each unit of the material).
2) Do Goods Receipt for the PO with the equipment numbers created.
3) Create Inspection Lot for the material document created during the GR for each equipment number.
4) Execute Inspection Result.
>>>>>>>>>>>>
INFO NOW
<<<<<<<<<<<<
Inspection lot can be created from MIGO directly by SPRO config and MM master data maintenance.
>>>>>>>>>>>>
DONE
<<<<<<<<<<<<
Called BAPI to create Equipment.
Called BAPI to create Goods Receipt.
Inspection Lot Settings to create lots during MIGO
1) New Inspection Type Created as SG1 at SPRO->QM->Quality Inspection->Inspection Lot Creation->Maintain Inspection types. The maintenance is a copy of type 01.
2) Assign Inspection Type to Lot Origin at SPRO->QM->Quality Inspection->Inspection Lot Creation->Maintain Inspection Lot Origins and Assign Inspection Types. SG1 is maintained against lot origin 01 with variant 01.
3) Set Default values for SG1 at SPRO->QM->Quality Inspection->Inspection Lot Creation->Define Default Values for Inspection Type with parameters same as for 01.
4) In Material master for the record set the inspection setup in the quality management tab. put SG1 as active and preferred. Also set Post to insp Stock, Insp with task list, Auto Assign, Skips allowed, Serial Numbers poss, Control Insp lot as For each Material Doc Item.
I have to kow how to select the Inspection Plan for the lot and thus set the status of lot to released and get it ready for results.
I also have BAPI ready for Inspection Result.
>>>>>>>>>>>>
TESTING
<<<<<<<<<<<<
I have tested it and was working fine till last thursday. I have the above mentioned settings even now in the system. Can there be anything else which the functional consultants would have change that affected the process. Anyways now the inspection lot is not getting created for the Inspection during MIGO and I am really struggling to find the exact reason.
For your info, I am working mostly on Utilities and so do not have much idea about the quality management stuff.
>>>>>>>>>>>>
QUESTION
<<<<<<<<<<<<
Why the inspection lot is not getting created during MIGO for my scenarion?
How to select the inspection plan in the program?

How can I generate automatic inspection lots every 15th day

Hello,
My client receives chemicals (Raw Mat) every day. Incoming inspn is done only for physical spec and Usage deciison is taken on same day itself.
As he is getting raw mat from good vendors, he usally do chemical analysis every 15th day.
Whats the best way for me to map this process of generating inspection lot on every 15 day. initial incoming lot we cant use as he already taken UD on that.
15 day chemical analysis dont have any impact on qty posting as Raw mat usally will be consumed.
Is there anything other than manual lot. I welcome all ideas.

In this case your looking at a pooled sample of the approx. 15 batches of material that were received in. Correct?
If you are batch managed, then no. Since the sample is a composite sample, you can't link it to anything else really and you don't have a batch number to enter into the inspection lot upon creation. First, you'd have to create a dummy batch to hold the results. Which you could do maybe by date if your system allows external batch numbering.
Then you could at least manually create the inspection lot.
The is no true "event" to trigger the creation of the inspection lot as there is when you do a GR. The only why you could trick the system would be if your were willing to maintain a separate storage location, and do a stock posting to it of the sample quantity each day. Then you could have an inspection plan that would create a skip lot each day. On the 15th day it would become required. You would probably utilize a copy of movement type 411 for this and use that custom one to make the moves.
The problem with this is then you'll have to write off that little bit of material at some point for accounting purposes.
Another option.. you could create dummy batch and set a 15 day inspection interval on it. Use deadline mointoring to create the lot one day in advance of expiration.
One more option: Use standard calibration inspection to set up a calibration program.. I.e. recalibate every 15 days.

Inspection lot per HU instead of batch in inter company stock transfers

Hello,
We are testing intercompany stock transfers and we face the following problem when we check inspection lots created at the receiving plant: one inspection lot is created for each HU, while we want one per batch.
We multiplied tests with many combination on material settings on inspection type 01 (which is inspection type used on inspection lot):
u2022     with or w/o u201CInsp. for HUu201D
u2022     u201CControl inspLotu201D: blank, 1, 2 or X
without success!
Letu2019s me precise that inbound delivery is created automatically from goods issue at issuing plant because we activated SPED functionality (then Hus numbers are directly taken from outbound delivery to inbound delivery).
Also we noticed something that could help understand the problem:
1.     when issuing plant picks HUs into the warehouse, they confirm TO via RF transaction (LM61). As a result, outbound delivery as a main item and there is a split by several sub items, as many as HUs confirmed
2.     when we test the picking confirmation out of a non RF transaction (LT12), there is a main item but only sub items per batch (qty is then aggregated)
What is maybe interesting to notice is in the first case, inspection lot at receiving plant is created per HU while in the second case, it is created per batch!
Second behavior is what we require but RF pick confirmation is mandatory for us!
Is there any chance to change QM behavior in that case?
Thank you,

Dear Gajesh,
thanks for your replay. It is very helpful.
Option A
1) The finish goods would be are already release and that does not go with our Q-policy.
2) Does this mean, I have an inspection lot at the point of time of GR from production to warehouse and another inspection lot at the time of delivery. That would mean I double my work? And the time of delivery happens one day after GR from production but the Q-results still need some more days. I do not see how this should work.
Option B
1) What do you mean by multiple GR to the warehouse storage location?
Where do I have to activate the copying option for the inspection lot?
Here I see the problem still existing. The result of the MIC has not been found out yet, the UD can not be done and I do multiple goods movement to the warehouse. What is the lelp? If I could make several stock transfer from the q-stock within the inspection lot that would be the best.
May I am thinking wrongly but the best would be to keep the stock in the q-stock. Does a suitable BAPI exist where I could program a logic to it or what do you think?
Thanks for your feedback,
Best regards,
Heinz

Inspection type 01 - inspection lot creation based on vendor batch number

Hi Guys,
this topic has been discussed several times here, but I was not able to find a suitable answer for my question.
I am facing the folowing requirement:
I have activated inspection type 01 for a raw material.
I am receiving a firs goods receipt from vendor A with vendor batch number 0001.
The system creates its own goods receipt batch number 0546 based on internal numbering.
A new inspection lot is created.
I am posting a second goods receipt from vendor a with vendor batch 0001.
The system creates a new batch number 0547 based on internal numbering.
A new inspection lot is created.
I do not want to get the second inspection lot, because I received vendor batch 0001 before and I am assuming it has been inspected or is in inspection.
Option 1: Post the second goods receipt against the first internal batch number created.
I am aware of this need at the moment, but a user is not always checking if there is an internal batch with the same vendor received before.
Can I customize the system to create inspection lots based on the fact that the vendor batch number was received before?
Or do I have to use an exit and some ABAP code to get the wanted result?
Thanks for your advice in advance.

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.

Inspection lot creation on storage bin

Hello all,
I am wanting to learn how to create an inpection lot of stock within a storage bin.
I ask because we have many storage bins in our warehouse location storing the same material.
If I do a MIGO 322 transaction in inspection lot there is no where to specify bin location, it looks at the warehouse as 1 storage location.
In the lower half of the migo screen there is a 'storage bin' section but it is blocked out and I cannot identify which storage bin I am wanting to inspect within that storage location.
I know I can create a transfer through LT01 however this still doesn't appear in QA32 inspection lots.
I want the bin location to stay in the same storage location but be flagged for quality inspection.
Thanks,
Chris
Edited by: gmanwizo on May 7, 2011 5:58 AM

Hi,
It seems you have both MM and WM activated. You have to assign storage locations to warehouse numbers in customizing, definition of organization step. Then when you do a 322, transfer requirements will be created by the system and you can transfer the material to a storage bin by turning the requirement into a transfer order. Assignment of new storage locations to warehouses may be tricky, you better ask for consulting on this matter.

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

Problem with serial Number in Inspection Lot

Dear All,
I have a typical problem that material is there in quality inspection lot and serial numbers are aslo assigned during 101 mvt. but when I am posting it to unrestricted stock system is not determine serial number and giving an error
*Stock data of serial number XXXXXX not suitable for movement
Message no. IO231*
All configuration setting are also OK as this problem comes for the first time and previously we were able to clear inspection lots of that material easily with serial number.
Any Idea to rectify that problem?
Thanks
Edited by: Ashu on Aug 9, 2010 5:54 PM

Hello,
Check with your serializing Procedure check the assignment in Work scheduling View for this material also check in Quality view
for inspection type 4 for GR of Production order.

Purchase requisition to be created when Inspection lot is released

Hello,
A Purchase Requisition need to be created (for external services) at the time of Inspection lot generation. I tried using the Inspection Plan operation control key with 'Extenally processed processing' with Info record, Pur Org details.. etc. Still, when Inspection lot is released, Purchase requisition is not generated.
Any clue?
Thanks
JK

Can you explain your business scenario.
In standard QM you cannot create purchase requisition from inspection lot creation.
1. You can use Userexit QAAT001 to create purchase req if needed.
2. Refer to "external processing in QM' if you want to create Purchase req during production.

Purchase order field missed in inspection lot 17

Hi,
We create a purchase order and then inbound delivery in ECC6. inbound delivery is then distributed in SCM/EWM and good receipt is performed in EWM, an inspection document is created in EWM and an external number (17) is created in ECC6.
The issue is that the purchase number field is no more visible in the inspection document 17 when we display the inspection lot 17
(we are using this field in a workflow and now this action is failing).
Is there a way to bring that missing field
Any help on this will be appreciated
Thanks a lot

Thanks Jürgen L. for your reply.
I have made some test cases on development server but they are showing correct reference. To me also it looked program bug,
