Process Order Close with Inspection Lots

At month end we need to close process orders that have not had their usage decison made, generally the inprocess inspection UD. Is there any way to close these POs without having to enter a usage decision?

Your suggested solution to being able to flag the inprocess inspection lot as being completed without making a UD, to allow the process order to be closed, sounded very, very interesting, but we are not familiar with the file/record/configuration parameter you noted. Is there any way that you might be able to clarify your answer, so that we can have our technical team figure out how to implement that change?
Thank you very much.....this has had us stymied since we went live.

"Closing" Unused, but Released Orders with Inspection Lots

We have Process Orders which have been released, but been unused. When We come to Financially Close them we have problems as the Inspection lot is still on without a UD
Is there a way we can mass process UD of Inspection Lots (or deletion of IL) with Nothing Produced on the Order?
Thanks & Regards,
Vivek Kumar

hi,
if you the process orders, make a list of those. now in qa16, you can do the mass UD. in that transaction, you can find out an option called " dynamic selection". if you expand that option, you will have an option called " production"; under that order. So you can put all those process orders and with the lot oringin 03, you will ge tp know the concerned inspection lots. then you do mass ud. this was your requirement.

Transaction to close the inspection lot in mass.

Hello,
Due to settings in the material's QM view , inspection lot with origin 89 were created for all the process orders , we don't use these inspection lot for recording any results , now we are not able to close the process order because the inspection lot related to the order are not closed yet.
Can you please let me know transaction to close all the inspection lots collectively so that i can proceed to close the orders.
regards
jeet

Are you sure the lots are inspection origin 89 and that those are preventing the closing of the orders? 89's should be manual inspection lots and should not have been caused by any settings in the material master but would have had to be caused by someone creating them. There is no reference to an order number in an 89 lot so I'm not sure how they could be blocking an order. Now.. If you created these as the result of a custom development that might be different. But they still shouldn't be able to block the closing of an order, unless of course you have some other development or user exit being used to check on the lot.
That said, unless you record results in the 89 lots you can't mass process them close. You have to do them one by one.
I would also suggest you look for inspection lots with an 03 origin as these CAN influence the orders. But again, they usually don't prevent you from marking the order technically complete. If you mark the orders technically complete, you can then use QA40 to close the 03 lots where the orders are TECO status.

Reverse a Return Delivery with inspection lot posted (QM)

Hello experts,
I want to reverse with transaction VL09 a good movement of a return client delivery with inspection lot. I posted the inspection lot and transferred the material to Unrestricted use (transaction QA11).
Then I began the cancel Return Process and I transferred the material to Quality (movement type 322) to run VL09 with material in Quality stock, but the system displays the following error message:
You cannot cancel GR, since inspection lot is already partly posted
Message no. QA046
Diagnosis
You are attempting to reverse a goods receipt although quantity postings have already been made from the inspection lot. This means that stock for the goods receipt has already been transferred and, for this reason, a cancelation of the document is no longer possible.
Procedure
Ensure that the postings in QM (within the usage decision transactions) are carried out.
Please let me know what can I do to reverse the return delivery.
Thanks in advance.
Pablo

You are trying to do the process which you ahve already transferred through Transaction QA11.
The role of Cancel return Process has already been done by this transaction as the Stock has already been into Un- restricted.

Update of Order Changes in Inspection Lots

Hi all,
Is it possible to update production order changes in an inspection lot automaticaly with inspection lot origin 04?
I know this is possible with inspection lot origin 03, but we use 04 in our company.
Thanks in advance,
B.

Did you ever find a solution for this? We have a similar requirement where we need to see the change history for our batch master characteristics.

Wrong purchase order item in inspection lot record

we have a purhase order in which item no. 1 & 2 have the same material code .
GR has been done against item no. 2 in MB01. Also the usage decision has been done
in QA11 for the inspection lot no. generated. Now when we see the purchase order data in
inspection lot in qa13 the value in purchase order item no. is 1,whereas the GR has been
done against item no. 2.
Please tell why the inspecton lot is picking wrong reference of Purchase order item.

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,

QM Manual Inspection Lot - with Inspection lot origin 89

Hi QM Guru,
I did maintain inspection type 10 in this material but while i would like to create the inspection lot manually.
I try to create manual inspection lot manually , i encounter this error with Inspection lot origin 89.
No valid inspection type for material 10000037 was found or selected
Message no. QA280
Diagnosis
An active inspection type for the material 1XXXXXXX in plant XXXX could not be found for the specified origin 89 or none of the available inspection types was selected.
System Response
Inspection lots cannot be created.
Procedure
Check the inspection type setting in the material master.
Is there anything which i missing ?
Thank you.

Hi,
I hope you have got the answer for this query. You get this error because you are trying to create a manual inspection lot (origin 89) of a material for which Inspection type 89 is not activated.
From your statement,
I did maintain inspection type 10 in this material but while i would like to create the inspection lot manually.
I try to create manual inspection lot manually , i encounter this error with Inspection lot origin 89.
It is clearly stated that you are using different inspection types. As Rama has suggested, activate Inspection type 89 in the material master and make corresponding master data.
Other than that, you cannot create manual inspection lot for the origins 10, 11, 12, 13 & 14. Similarly, Automatic inspection lots cannot be created for origins 07, 15 & 89. This answers your further query raised in the thread.

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.

Vikas.

Weighted from quality score of chars. with Inspection Lots

Dear QM Guru's.
My question is about Quality Score with Inspection Lots.
The Scenario:
1. In a Quality master View in Material Master I use the option number 05 of The Q-Score Procedure (Weighted from quality score of chars.)
2. I use Inspection Points.
3. I have 10 Inspection Points in a Characteristic.
4. When I make the Usage desicion, the Quality Score takes the last Inspeciton point.
The questions:
1. Why the Quality Score does take the last Inspection points, ?
2. Is there a chance The Quality Score taking the average of all inspection points ?
Thanks in advance.
Federico

This procedure calculates the quality score as the weighted average of the characteristic scores.
The score for the characteristic is determined on the basis of the defect class score for the characteristic result. You define the weight of the characteristic in the inspection plan.
                                      Sum ( E_KQD(characteristic) * WEIGHT )
           E_KQD =                 ___________________________
                                                 Sum ( WEIGHT )
With E_KQD (charac.):       Score for characteristic defect class.
                              If the defect class is blank or zero,
                             the result corresponds to the maximum
                             allowed score.
     WEIGHTING:      Weight of characteristic according to
                             inspection plan.
Now
As I understand It is Maximum allowed score which you have defined or the Avg one.
If you want to have the Avg of all inspection points then Copy & modify the function module   KQD_COPY_REFERENCE_FORM ( originally KQD_FEATURE_CLASS_WEIGHTED )

Process Order creates Multiple Inspection for Same Batch

Hi Guys,
Expert opinion is needed to have this issue fixed.
Issue:When a new Process Order is created it automatically creates in storage location A. There are times when a process order needs to be created into another storage location B. When the Process Order is created and then is changed from A to B it will create two inspection lots for one batch, one for each storage location. From the plant perspective they only need one Inspection lot as they will not create two set of samples for testing since it is the same batch it just went into a different storage location then it was originally created for. Is there a way to change SAP so that it only creates one Inspection lot per batch.
Control InspLot field in QM view for Insp Type 04 is X
We had different scenarios with same Batch
SCENARIO #1: Sloc is changed to B prior to Release, in CRTD status of order Sloc was A
So there are 2 Insp. Lot created one for A & another for B after GR in Sloc B
SCENARIO #2: Sloc is changed to B after Release
IL is created after Release of order with Sloc A, after changing Sloc B in process order and performing GR, new IL is created for Sloc B
Business scenario is certain times of the year where one creates a PO with one Sloc and then it needs to be GR into a different Sloc.
They are generating a lot of IL’s that are not used and it seems like every year they need to get UD’s made on IL’s for finance to close out the year which is cumbersome.
Please suggest way out, objective is one process should have one IL per Batch irrespective of Sloc
Regards
Nitin Desai

There are several things that come to mind.
First and foremost, get the planning right so that the process orders are created properly the first time around. This is a business issue. Yes.. I don't know your business.. no, you really aren't all that different then the thousands of other businesses using SAP. The root cause of this is you don't know what is going where when you order it or in the case of process orders, where you intend to make it or store it. That's a basic planning problem.
2 - you must have early lot creation turned on, "Y". You can't be using "X". X would only create an 04 lot when you do the GR so if you change the storage location prior to the Process order being released I'm not sure how you are generating two lots. Are you sure all the lots in question are 04 lots? Are you maybe seeing an 03 lot? Or possibly an 08 lot? Something doesn't sound right here.
3 - If you receive into two storage locations from one process order, you will get two inspection lots. No way around this. There is stock associated with these. You could use customization to suppress the second receipt but that stock would go right to UR with no inspection.
4. Don't change the storage locations in the process orders at all. You can use the stock posting screen in the UD and change the storage location when you make the UD.
5. Another option is to again, don't change the storage location in the PO but use QAC2 transaction to transfer the inspection lot into the proper storage location.
You need to explain your scenarios better cause I really don't see how you are getting the two lots when you make all your changes in the process order prior to releasing the process order. That doesn't make any sense at all.

For a Production order - Operation wise Inspection Lot

Hi Experts,
Please help me out to resolve the following problems.
1. How can we create inspection lot for each operation for a production order?
If a production order has 10 operations, I will have to have 10 inspection lots for that order.
2. I have a final assembly called A with components B & C. Some other material called D has similar characteristics of B.
    But sometimes, for A, instead of B (if stock is not available), i want to use D also. Please note that, if B is not available, then
    only, I will use D. Otherwise always B only, so we cannot go with probability.
How can we map this scenario? and MRP run also should consider D if B is not there.
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Vijay.

Dear
Answer Q1 : Go to SPRO > Production> Shop floor control> operations > confirmation> define confirmation parameters
Maintain
1)Operation sequence u2013 error when operation sequence is not adhered to
2) Over delivery u2013 Error when over delivery tolerance is exceeded
3) Results Rec. (QM)- Error message if no Insp results exist
So what these setting helps is that :
1)All operation has to be confirmed operation wise means 0010 has to be confirmed for confirming 0020 operation. SO production guys can only confirm 0040 operations only after 0030 operations is confirmed by quality personal.
2)Over delivery is not allowed means of in 0030 operation if only 50 quantity is confirmed in 0040 operation only 50 can be confirmed. Production people cannot confirm more than 50 quantities
3) Also PP personal cannot confirm operation 0030 through C011N till the result recording of that operation is done through QA32.
4)Maintain Operation Control Key -PP01 with marked Inspection Character Marked -OPJ8 and maintain this Control Key for   those operation which are required for Inspection Lot .
Now For QM stand point , activate inspection type 03 and 04 in material master. For 03 type of inspection, you have to make routing in CA01. So when you release your production order, an inspection lot will be generated. This lot will not be stock relevant. This is just to check that you production is in accordance with quality norms. Only after clearing this lot from quality you can do your order confirmation, otherwise system will give hard error due to 3rd point of prev post.
For 04 type of inspections, prepare inspection plan in QP01. Now when order is confirmed, an inspection lot of 04 origin will be created in quality, and this is stock relevant and for final inspection of production order material.
If you need you can set for early inspection as well. That will give you another intermediate stage before final inspection. Inspection points are also an option if suites your requirement.
If you need more inspections, I suggest go for manual inspection lots of 04 origins, they are created in ref to order and are not stock relevant.
Q2 : Please explore this thread for options explained for Alternative Item selection .

PROBLEMS CANCELING MOVEMENTS WITH INSPECTION LOT

We have this situation:
We need to reset the GD returns but this GD returns was posted by QM and when we try to cancel in VL09 we meet the next message Message no. QA046.
So we tried to cancel in other ways with the inspection lot and the usage decision but it has not been possible to restore movement.
We found the note 175842 and we have implemented the program RQEVAC50 but, when we useit we meet the message M7226
We checked the movement Z55 and its opposite Z56. I suppose its standard movement is the 651 and 652 and I compared the customizing of them. They can be similar it just the movement Z55 and Z56 are prepared to be posted by QM and special stock E and Q.
The movement that we need to reset with the program RQEVAC50 is:
We have tried to use the program for a movement 101 and it worked well (5000795975).
We tried to test with a return delivery with Z55 movement in another environment and the program worked correctly so we think the customizing of the movement Z55 is correct.
We think the problem is when the usage decision creates some movements or we use some of the next fields in the usage decision:
In our case the movements are 321 and Z56.
But when the movements are the standards 321 and 553 program doesn’t work because we meet the next message again M7096
Program doesn’t work because we meet the next message again:
What can we do? could you check thi situation and tell us anything, please?
Kind regards

Cancel 101 movement with Inspection lot of closed financial period

Hi experts,
we are having the following problem.
We have a 101 movement with creation of Inspection lot, which was done in a finance period which is already closed.
Now I have to cancel this movement, but I get the error M7021 with VOR, which means that I am not allowed to cancel it, because of the period is already closed.
But we also can not open the period.
Which possibilities do I have?
Maybe MI10 movement?
Kind regards

Hello Jürgen,
thank you for your help.
I am confused now.
Becasue normally I am logged on in german and now I did check the english one.
Deficit of BA St. in QI prev. 127 M2 : "material number" 0001 "sloc" "batch"
But here I get QI prev, but in the F1 help there is no QI or prev.
In german I get VOR and there in the F1 help it is written, that VOR is previous period (so I think equal to PR in english).
Now I am a bit confused.
But anyway, the thing is that we have to empty the stock.
Kind regards for every help, I think there is no possibility to cancel that booking as the period is closed.
@ Biju K, to be honest your way would really be the only correct way, but at the current situation it is a bit special.
I will do a MI10 booking.
