Inspection of physical samples

Hi,
I am trying to set up quality inspection of physical samples for a plant. Until now we don't use SAP QM for inspection in production really (neither inspection lot origin 03, nor 04) but that might change in near future. Nevertheless, we would like to start with inspection of physical samples.
As far as I understand the SAP Help files there are "two" different inspection lots for which I can enter values. First, the lot from which a physical sample drawing was created by the system when I create the lot (in my case insp. lot origin 89 and inspection points for physical samples in inspection plan) and, second, the inspection lots I can create from the physical sample via QPR2 or QPR5 (in my case insp. lot origin 15). Although it's one step more for the users to create an inspection lot for each physical sample, I prefer the second option because a physical sample can be reworked in our plant if the results recorded are not acceptable and results have to be recorded again after rework. If I choose the second option I have an inspection lot (origin 89) I can use later on for results recording during production. The fact that irritates me is that's a lot with inspections points of type "physical sample" that I do not need necessarily in all operations.
Why are there two lots in which results to physical samples can be recorded?
Do you agree with my solution or are there other more reasonable ways?
Cheers
Marcus.

What is the Relation between Inspection Lot, Physical Sample .....

Hi All,
I want to know the unique relation between Inpection Lot Number, Physical sample Number, Material Number and Warehouse Number(from LQUA ).
I have Inspection Lot Number and Physical Sample Number on my selection screen.
Based on this I have to fetch the details from LQUA.
I got combination of Lot and sample from the View QAPP_QALS. There is material also in it.
But I am not understanding how to get the details from LQUA.
Thanks,
Bhupal

Hi Bhupal,
Just a suggestion, you might consider moving your qns to MM forum, Mr. Jurgen should be able to provide the exact inputs your looking for.

QM Physical Sample Numbers to xMII

I am trying to get the Physical Sample numbers for an Inspection Lot out of SAP and into xMII for additional barcode label processing. I can see the information I need in the SAP R/3 client but am unable to get it to xMII.
I am using the JCO interface and using BAPI_INSPLOT_GETLIST to get the inspection lot # for a Production Order and have tried passing that into BAPI_INSPLOT_GETDETAILS, BAPI_INSPOPER_GETLIST and BAPI_INSPOPER_GETDETAIL but none of them seem to have access to the physical sample records. Can anyone help me with a RFC, BAPI or user Exit that I can use to get this data?

I have tried using BAPI_INSPCHAR_GETRESULT but I can only get information if the results for that char have ben posted. I am trying to get the physical sample numbers to send to a barcode label application so we can track the samples thru the testing machine. The requirements are for multiple lables in different sizes so we are not printing these labels from SAP.
For each inspection lot\physical sample drawing, we generate 30 physical samples. (1 master, 2 pooled, 27 retention) I need to get these numbers out of SAP to print them.
If I run transaction QA3 from the client and select Samples (Physical Samples (Shift + F2)) from the menu, I can see the list I want before any results have been entered.

Physical Sampling Points mapping & Stock transfer

Dear all,
We are into bulk drug manufacturing where in the manufacturing process is continuous. We have some intermediate products which have been identified as by-products. We get first by-product (say CS0034) at first operation (or phase). We test it after the GRN of the same. If it passes the test then we consume this in the second operation, but if it fails the test then we process it again in the first operation.
In the second operation we get another by-product (say TC00198). We perform the same procedure what has been described above.
I need your valuable inputs for the following questions,
1. How to reprocess the failed by-product on the same material? I am thinking to identify the failed material with previous by-product, fro ex. if TC00198 fails the test then in UD we will reject it & we will have material to material transfer (so stock of TC00198 will be transferred to CS0034) Is there any other better solution to take care of this?
2. While testing the sample of these by-product we have to take physical sample from 4 different locations of the storage tanks? How to identofy these sampling points in SAP?
Expecting your quick replies on this.
Regards
Manoj Patil

Hi Manoj,
Can I ask 2 questions here?
How you are addressing reprocessing of CS0034 after its GR?
Why you want to correlate failed product (TC00198) to its previous operation product (CS0034)?
This tilts more towards PP module.
I consider reprocessing as rework. You should have separate order type customized for this. Against this order you can consume TC00198 and other consumables also if required. You can even book the labor charges also. Later you do GR again for TC00198
If it is necessary to build the stock of CS0034 again in system from TC00198, then also you can address this using above order type. Separate order type gives better accountability for reconciliation as compared to material to material transfer.
Regarding your second query - If you want to record inspection results you can assign sampling procedure in inspection plan. System will calculate sample size according to it and then you can record the results in QA32. Or you are looking for Inspection of Physical Samples concept in SAP?

Inspection type 01 and physical samples

Dears
I have scenario like this
My raw material is avtivated inspection type 01 and 15 (For physical sample)
as GR done inspection lost was created of 01 type and it was workin fine
now when ever vendor delivery a new item with a slight changes for existing material (So material number will not change)
So as GR done inspection lot was created, But for this inspection lot i need system treat as a physical sample (normaly creating by using QPR1)
to achive this what are the things i need to do
Pls tell me the details step with process
Pls give your in put
hope my question was cleared
Thanks
Faisal

sir,
actually i am try to do something for sample approval process
my scenario is
when ever vendor deliver any sample we need to recored it and keep a database with all inspection details
some times vendor will deliver the sample in po with zero value
so can you pls tell me how i can map this scenario

Mapping Physical Sample Quantity - Inspection Plan Characteristics Quantity

Hello,
There is a requirment to map Physical Sample Quantity QPRS-MENGE (Size of the Physical Sample) with PLMK-PRUEFEINH (Sample Quantity Factor for Sample(Mult. Sample Unit of Msr.)) based upon Inspection Lot.
Thanks and Regards,

why can't we use Physical sample drawing process (T.code:QPV2 ) for auto creation of physical samples.

Three Physical Samples withdraw from inspection lot 04 and then result record for all three

Dear Gurus,
We have 3 quality labs and each lab is sent a separate samples to inspect certain characteristics once we receive material from production. I have created an inspection plan and mapped these three labs as work center in operation and then assigned MICs under each operation to inspect.
Now my issue is how to map separate 3 samples to inspection lot generated from production ( type-4) and also how to configure that to inspection plan.
I have to result record for all these three physical sample as withdrawn from Lot based upon inspection plan as mentioned above.
I can mention sample drawing procedure in inspection plan but how to map actual sample there.
Any help will be greatly appreciated.
Regards,
Satish

Hi Satish
You are creating three operation for depicting three testing Labs.
Against each lab (operation) you had assigned MICs as per your requirement.
Now you have to assign a SDP along with inspection point type 200 for physical sample in task list.
After prod confirmation system will create inspection lot along with a sample by default for 1st operation.
For other operations you have to create samples manually referring the same inspection lot (QPR6).Remember to click ' Create Insp points' and mention operation.
Release the samples in QPR4.
Now when you go for result recording system would ask first for operation, so select the operation , then system will ask for insp point (sample no).There click on assign insp point , so system will provide the Sample no which were created in QPR6 for that particular operation.
Please follow the steps and revert.

Not all physical samples are valuated, force inspection completion?

Hi
I have entered results against inspection characteristics but on UD the system gives message "not all physical samples are valuated, do you want force inspection completion?
What is missing or how can I avoid this message?

In QE23, Select the inspection lot and check for the physical sample,
Once you enter both, you will get the screen similiar to QE51 to record result,
You will see a button for physical sample which u need to select and do the valuation.
hope this helps

Assign physical sample type to lot origin or inspection type

Something is driving me crazy. I now for 100% that it's possible to change the physical sample type for the lot origin or inspection type. But i can't find the setting in customizing... Can anybody please help me!!!

No stab studies. There are physical sample types. The physical sample types are assigned to lot origins or inspection types. When you create an inspection lot the correct physical sample type is selected according to this setting...

Quality Inspections Using WM Without Physical Sample Managment

I have configured the system to not use physical sample managment. Warehouse Management is being implemented. When the WM personnel perform a goods receipt and subsequently confirm open transport orders using LT04, a pop-up window to Process QM Inspection Lot requesting where to place the sample quantity appears. The business wants the sample quantity to always remain with the stock. How can I get rid of this request to specify where the sample quantity should be placed when I am not using physical sample management?

hi allen,
why don;t you directly put the materail in final detination after goods receipt .
after goods receipt matl will be placed in interim storage type 902 and after confirming the transfer order the material will be placed in final destination .
In the system (stock overview) material will be shown in under inspection but material will be lying in the same location .
the sample should be removed from final destination and after perform the UD. after comletion of UD if material is ok then accept the material which will change the status of the material from quality inspection to unrestricted stock in the system but material will be lying the same location .
in this case you don;t have to keep the material in quality interim storage location for the sample approval.which will definitely save your time ,space & effort.

Inspection lot characteristic not copying for Physical sample

Hi,
I'm trying to copy the result of one inspec lot to another thru a Z' program. I'm using 'BAPI_INSPOPER_RECORDRESULTS' for this. It's working fine for normal samples.
But when it comes to physical sample, it's not copying.
Any suggestions on this BAPI is highly appreciated
Thanks in adv,

Automatic valuation of inspection point for physical samples.

Hi,
My requirement is after recording results (QE11) for each and every sample, automatic valuation of inspection point to be done.
Inspection point valuation not done automatically even though I have created the required details in inspection Plan.
I have maintained the following details in inspection plan
In Inspection plan header:
Inspection Point : 200 & Sample Drawing Procedure
In Inspection Plan Operation Details:
Insp.Point Completion: Automatic valuation based on inspection point definition.
Is there any settings to be done in customiszation.
Please help me to solve this issue.
Thanks & Regards

Hello Sap-Guys.
I am facing the same problem, and I did several workarounds, to evalueate the inspection point by myself.
The problem is this :
We are using RFC-techniques to evaluate samples.
Shortly, there is an inspection , which is defined, to be per point, consisting of two user fields, date and time. There must be three things (characteristics )controlled, two manually, by the workers, and the third will be calculated internally by sap via formula.
The rfc-possibilities are provided by myself, building a rfc-enabled z-module, which calls some SAP-BAPIS, from which one is called
BAPI_INSPOPER_RECORDRESULTS
Until now I do not think, it behaves like tha sap-gui.
Am I doing something wrong, or does this module really not behave like the sap gui ???
If I evaluate the very first char , I check, whether this is the only one for this actual inspection point.
If so, I delete the code groups, if any, (only quantitative evaluation til now ) and the point stays grey, ok, because there are still two other char-evaluations missing.
If my char to evaluate is not the first, then I check, which are stil left, AND , if there are any left without evaluation, I also erase code and codegroups ( if any ) in the insppoint structure, so the char gets its evaluation and the point still stays grey.
But if there had been already any evaluations, I manually check , whether my actual value meets the tolerances, and then I manually tell the inspection-point structure, which code must be used, in order to set its own state correctly.
This means, if my actual sample meets the tolerances, and only one sample was rejected , I tell the inspection point, to stay red, by setting the approoriate code manually from qplak.
If all others were ok, but the actual evaluation ( calculated manually again, tolerances ... ) is not ok, then i tell the inspection point structure, to get "red".
I do this every time, a evaluation takes place, and it works nice for simple values.
And here is my big Problem :
My last characteristic of the three to be evaluated, must not be evaluated by the workers, but BY calculation inside sap, BECAUSE IT HAS A FORMULA.
Especially for this case I left a comment in my code, and now this case occurred.
So, what could be a better approach , to use this bapi, AND trigger automatic inspectionpoint evaluation WITHOUT MY ENTIRE WORKAROUND ( where I now see, that it cannot deal with formulas ) ???
( It could, if I debugged deep enough, to check, how it builds the formula ) , but bapis are there to use them.
Aren`t they???
Could anybody give me a hint ?
Thx and best regards

Display of Qual Characteristics in QE03 for Physical Samples

Hi All,
I am using result recording with physical samples.
I am able to record Qualitative characteristics through transaction QE01. When i want see these "qualitative characteristics" in QE03 screen, just an icon appears in the "results" coulmn in RR screen. (Code & Code Texts missing)
Why is this so?? When I go back & see in QE01, I can see the Qual Values.
Require some pointers to address this issue.
Thank you a lot in advance
Regards,
Pradeep

Hello,
You may need to check QE13 to view the qualitative results for the inspection point.

How to manage physical sample in SAP?

Hi,
How to manage physical sample in SAP?
Regards
Ashish Jain

Hi
Physical sample is to keep the sample of a product till its shelf life expiry date. E.g. In case of any shelf life applicable product, the inspected sample will be retained till its expiry date. If any customer complaints are received, on inspecting the complaint, result may be compared with the existing physical sample.
In SAP, Material master should have inspection type 15.
To create physical sample, sample drawing procedure has to be created and attached to the header of inspection plan. With this set up when the lot is created, physical sample will also be created. Result recording should be done for physical sample. Physical sample storage information has to be updated through transaction code QPR2
