Inspection Lot - Invoice No Integration

Hi Experts,
In my client place, they do mention the Inpection Lot no in the Invoice printout when deliver the product to Customers.
More over, the Inspection happens only at Production level. (In process). They call this as Final Inspection. But as per SAP, they are not doing Final Inspection during GR against Production Order.
In general, is it possible to link Inspection Lot no and the Invoice no. If possible, does the same applicable to the process I mentioned above. (Invoice will be generated at the time of Delivery). Or else, is the integration is possible by activating some Inspection Type.
Please guide and help me.
Thnx in advance
Sam

There is no standard functionality that i am aware of that causes any inspection lot number to be printed on the invoice. I would assume that it is certainly possible but would require programming to deetermine the correct inspection lot to use and to print.

Integration with QM-Inspection lot not getting creating

Hi ,
Inspection lot is not getting created after GR is posted.
Scenario:Storage location is connected to external warehouse management.
Can anyone please explain the necessary check points and Integration steps needed to be followed for inspection lot creation.

Hi,
Since you didn't say much, I assume you are creating stock into ECC via LSMW using 561 movement. Now to get inspection lot for these batches/ docs, you need to activate inspection type 05.
Go to material master QM view, assign and activate inspection type 05.
Additionally, create a respective inspection plan/ task list for the material(s) to carry out RR and get the consistent inspection lots.

Integration with EWM-Inspection lot not getting created

Hi,
Inspection lot not getting created after GR is done.
The scenario is Storage location is connected to external warehouse management,so after the GR is done in the legacy system via interface it is updated in ECC.so while checking the material document inpection lot is not created.
Can anyone please tell me the necesaary check points and integeration steps between WM and QM in this case .
Thanks in advance.......

Inspection lot for service purchase order

Dear sap gurus,
Iam Pm consultant
I have created a service PR through maintenance order and i want a inspection lot to be generated when you release the service entry sheets for the Service PO.
Is there any integration between inspection type to purchase document type or any other method.Ur prompt reply will be highly appreciated.I found a control key option in the Maintenance type parameters.Can u please tell me its usage.
with regards,
v.vijay kumar

Hi v.vijay kumar
For service PO there is no Goods receipt
You need to create Service Entry Sheet and Acceptance of Service Entry Sheet and Finally invoice verification will be done.
Inspection lot is not possible.

How to use SAP XI to get Inspection Lot IDOC when Insp. lot is created

I want to create a 3rd party .NET app that gets an Inspection Lot IDOC when an inspection lot is created, gather the inspection results, then push the results back to SAP in an IDOC. How do I use SAP XI to do that? I developed an HTTP listener .NET app and configured a sender communications channel for the SAP System and a receiver connunications channel for the HTTP adapter in the XI integration scenario, but how do I configure the XI integration scenario to send my app an IDOC when an inspection lot is created, and what IDOCs do I use?
Thanks,

Hi Ed
I think you can use
IDOC TYPES : QALITY01, QALITY02
in XI you can create
IDOC to HTTP as a scenario
IDOC need to be triggered from SAP system and you can import the IDOC metadata into XI from SAP
Check this thread it will help
Re: IDOC to HTTP
Thanks

Customer number not in the inspection lot for a make to order scenario

Hi All,
I know that standard SAP will get the Customer number into Insp. lot only for insp. types 10/11/12. I am wondering if someone know a way to get the customer no. into insp. lot for insp. type 04 where the material is make-to-order scenario and the Production/Process order has the Sales order and customer no. without activating User-exit. The quality users want to be able to see the customer no. in insp. lot without having them to go to process order.
It makes no sense to me why the customer no. is not brought into insp. lot when that is available in the Prod/process order, which can further be used to select the customer specific insp. plans for 04 insp. type Insp. lot without using Variant configuration.
Any light on this topic is appreciated.
Thanks.

Hi Srikant,
I guess.........
Normally the inspection lot refers the triggering document that are the trigger cause for them.
- Inspection type 01: - Purchase Order and GR material document.
- Inspection type 03: - Pro. Order Number
The same way...
The inspection type 10\11\12 are purely related to the SD, and directly integrates QM and SD. Hence in the inspection lot for the inspection types directly integrated to SD, it will furnish the Sales order number \ Customer.
But the inspection type 04 is purely have it's relation to Production process. So it will have the details related to integrations it has i.e. the "Pro. Order." Hence it integrates QM-PP, it have the data related to PP (Pro Order), not the SD's one.
But I think one way you can achieve it,
Assign the Customer number also to the inspection plan along with the Material. So I think at the time of assigning the inspection plan to the inspection lot, it will refer the Customer number also and will display the Customer number along with Task list Group\Group Counter, in the inspection specification screen in QA03/02

Inspection Lot Not Triggered for STO - One Plant to other Plant in same Company

Dear SAP Gurus,
We have a scenario of STO for one plant to other plant with in the same company code.
The process is being followed as follows ;
1. We create stock transfer by creating P.O thru ME21N
2. Create Outbound delivery thru VL10B
3. Doing PGI & Picking thru 'VL02N. Thru movement type '641'
The QM settings are as follows to trigger an inspection lot
1. Inspection lot origin '08' activated in MM.
2. Quality plan is defined and task list is released.
3. 'VL02N' is defined thru 'OMJJ' for movemrnt type '641'.
But while doing PGI no inspection lot is created.
Our requirement is to trigger a inspection lot and Invoicing / Billing only possible after inspection lot Approval.
Please advice.
Thanks

Hi
As per my understanding inspection type 10 should be activated in QM view material master.
Can you please check the below thread and also check some similar threads.
QUALITY INSPECTION FOR OUTBOUND DELIVERY
I hope your problem will be resolved or else revert with your observation.

Inspection lot creation during STO return

Hello Gurus,
is there a trick to trigger inspection lot creation during STO return ?
Scenario is the following:
1 - Creation of STO
2 - Supplying plant ships materials... stock in transit
3 - Receiving plant receives materials
4 - Materials with defects -> Receiving plant add new line with return tick on the same material
5 - GI from Receiving plant... stock in transit
6 - Supplying plant receives materials -> Inspection lot has to be created
I used inspection type 08 on Receiving plant w/o success.
Many thanks.
Stéphane

No inspection lot is created when we return Materials to Vendor (Plant A) even if we maintain Inspection type 02.
Before STO customizing, Plant B creates a subcontracting purchase order. Next Materials are sending to Vendor (Plant A) and put in "Stock provided to vendor" (Transaction ME2O).
Vendor (Plant B) creates a Repair request (Sales document / Transaction VA01). Next run VRRE to reveice Materials to repair. Inspection lot is automatically created. The usage decision triggers the creation of Service order to manage all the repairing flow. Last step is to deliver Materials to Plant A and create Repair invoice.
Repair request supports all repairing flow (inspection lot, service oder...), especialy status (out of warranty or not).
After STO customizing, I expected the following result:
1° - Return STO to Vendor (Plant A) / ME21N with return tick
2° - Plant B ships Materials / MIGO wih 101 (SAP converts in 161)
3° - Stock in Transit
4° - Materials receive to Vendor (Plant B) / VL10B
5° - Creation Inspection lot
6° - UD triggered Service order creation
7° - ...Repairing flow with Service order...
8° - Materials ship to Plant B
9° - Repair invoice
10° - Stock in Transit
11° - Plant B receives Materials
As I said, there are 2 blocking points:
- Inspection lot not created when Vendor receives Materials
- Service order not created automatically (because no Repair request to support inspection lot, service order...)
Thanks a lot for your help.
Tell me if you have any questions.

Inspection Lot on Production Orders using HU

Hi Experts:
I'm trying to notify using production orders some HU. I was reading the help.sap.com and it says:
1. An inspection lot is never created, if the indicator Inspection for HU is not set in the Inspection setup of the material master (Quality Management view) for storage locations requiring HUs.
2. In general, it is not possible to create the inspection lot at goods receipt in storage locations requiring HUs.
That's confuse me.
In the system I have the following information:
a. Create my order and release.
b. My material have inspection 04. I marked the indicator Inspection for HU on Quality Management view.
c. I used Tx COP1 to create my HU
d. I notify my production using COWBHUWE
If I checked my MMBE the quantity is on Quality Status. But I don't have my inspection Lot.
I create my Inspection plan with indicator 5.
Someboday can tell me why the inspection lot isn't create?
I checked the configuration:
In Customizing for Handling Unit Management (Inventory Management), the respective movement type is not deactivated for quality inspections. The indicator QM not active is not set.
In the (respective) material master record, the corresponding inspection type is created and activated for the respective goods movement, and the indicator Inspection for HU must be set.
Thxks

Sorry firefighter I'm going to explain more in detail.
1. I tested my integration process QM-PP-HU on a Storage Location without HU.
The results were:
a. Hu created
b. Inspection Lot Created
But when I did the DE the units from the HU were moved, but the HU still in Q status.
So I changed my test.
2. I tested my integration process QM-PP-HU on a Storage Location with HU
The results were:
a. Hu created
b. Inspection Lot Not Created
In this case, I marked on Material Master the HU Indicador on 04 Class (Quality Management View)
That's my problem.
Addittional I tested a MM-HU process using 01 Inspection Class.
1. I create a Purchase Order Me21N to a Storage Location with HU
2. I create the Delivery using HU
3. The system create the Inspection Lot and made the DE (reference to the HU)
My problem is stilling the PP-QM-Hu on Storage Location with HU

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!!

How partial inspection is done for a inspection lot & vendor payment done based on inspection result

Dear Gurus,
In our business 1000 bag material is received in one material document. So one Inspection lot is created.
Now business take randomly 10 bags from that 1000 bag & inspected. The Bags are inspected on various parameters such as Weight , Fabric , Valve Size , Cross Sec Area, Print Quality , Stitching Thread , etc . The values for all this types of parameters are prepared in an excel sheet in a prescribed format.
The Values for each Quality Parameters are then matched with the desired prescribed average figures.
Based on the Values which deviate from "Average" figures , deductions are computed
Logic is 1% for single defect in a bag for 1 parameter . Likewise if more defects is found then add 1% in multiples
e.g 1% + 5 defects then .05 * basic Raw material cost .
This figure along with proper description is recorded under "Remarks" column of the report format and send to Accounts department for the
deduction process from Vendor
we need to capture the inspection parameters in system as per the above process.
And please tell me how I configure this process in SAP .
Thanks & Regards,
Bubai

Hi Bubai,
you can create a QM Control Key (which is used to QM View of Material Master) which you have to set the indicator Block Invoice. This indicator is blocked invoice with blocking reason I (I = Inspection) if there is still no usage decision for the inspection lot or the inspection lot is reject.
(SPRO -> Quality Management -> QM in Logistics -> QM in Procurement -> Define Control Keys).

INSPECTION LOT-SAMPLSIZE

Dear Gurus,
In the Material Master we have maintained Inspection type-->04,inspection lot are created on confirmation,Result recording and UD are done.Sampling procedure is maintained and Sample size is 1.
My client is in Cold rolling business,they check thickness of cold roll by doing profiling test by taking 1 sample per roll,but once 15 days or once after every 300 tons approx,the thickness of cold roll have great fluctutions in thickness,now in this case they take around 8 to 10 samples for each batch,where as sampling size maintained in the sampling procedure is 1,they say its because of maintaince problem of rolling machine.
In this case how will i map this senario at present i am in implementation stage,Is it i have to map test equipment calibration or is it this scanrio is integration with Plant maintaince.
Regards
Ram

Dear Ram
1) How about maintaining 2 differenet operations one with sample 1 and another with sample 8
2) maintain larger scope / scope not defined in the control indicator of the MIC. You can record values more than one
you can enter the no of samples to be inspection at the RR

Inspection lot PGI for STO-Quality management

Sirs,
I have a query. I have an FG where i am using an STO to transfer the material from 1 plant to another. Here i have inspection type 08 assigned in the master. I have assigned the origin 08 to the delivery type NL hence when i save the OBD (not post PGI) the inspection lot is generated. But even though the inspection lot is generated the system is allowing me to post the Goods Issue for the material. How do i bring the lock in invoicing so that if the lot is generated the PGI of the OBD is not allowed and system should give the message 'status of the inspection lot does not allow goods movement'..
Waiting for your replies,
Ariel.

Dear,
i have the same question..
is there any way to generate inspection lot from PS Network activity?
is there any BADI or Workflow...?
i hope there would be any solution of this scenerio.

SAP QM-EWM - Inspection Lot not generated in ECC

Hi Gurus,
Need your advice with QM-EWM integration.
We are trying to generate an Inspection lot "01" in ECC while using EWM as our Warehouse.
Material is not HU managed so the trigger of IL should be via Good Receipt. If material is HU managed the inspection lot trigger is via Inbound delivery HU assignment.
The following has been done:
Material is QM active "01" not HU set up in ECC
Material is assigned to an Inspection Plan in ECC
We do not have QIE in place
SLOC used does not require HU
Below is the process.
Purchase Order is created in ECC
Inbound delivery is created in ECC and distributed in EWM
GR happens in EWM and reflects in ECC
The question now is it possible to generate an Inspection lot in ECC even if GR happens in EWM? w/o EWM the scenario is generating Inspection lots.

Hi,
"The question now is it possible to generate an Inspection lot in ECC even if GR happens in EWM? w/o EWM the scenario is generating Inspection lots."
No. You need to have the QIE to trigger the inspection lot creation in ECC.
"We do not have QIE in place"
This is the first thing you need.
Somewhere here in this space I thought is also a document describing how to set it up - but could not find it right now.

Inspection lot not created

Hi Experts,
Inspection lot is not created after delivery even Billing no and Invoice no. has been generated. so we are not able to issue the Certificate of Analysis(COA).
So plz help me to understand this issue.
Thank's in Advance.
Regard's
Olet Malla..

hi,
please check the confirguration settings of QM.
if settings are there then an inspection lot has to get generated and it has to block PGI.
after checking that lot QM will release to GI and then we can do GI.
and
also plese check in MMR whether QM views are there or not.
if yes,
check the settings 6 and 10 are there or not inside QM views.
