QM_LSMW BY RECORDING METHOD FOR QP01

Question

Dear QM Experts,
1.     I am doing LSMW by recording method for QP01 transaction code
2.     I am facing one problem while recording in inspection characteristic screen
3.     While saving another screen opens prompting to put inspection method, plant and version for inspection method.
4.     This is not at all needed as per the requirement.
I removed default Plant for Inspection Method version, Version Number of the Inspection Method while recording LSMW in inspection characteristic screen. Still it is happening.
Surprisingly when we create inspection plan though QP01 it never asks for these things.
Any remedies?
Best Regards,
Thanks is advance

Answer 1

Do not use Recording for QP01.
There is a pragram named "RCPTRA01". It can be selected in step1 of lsmw>>Object Type and Import Method>> Standard Batch/Direct Imput>>Object 0240;Method 0000;Program RCPTRA01; Program Type B.
Then Step 2, define source structure. In fact you may go to step 4 to have a look at the structure of the target structure. It would be easy to copy that. The source structure would be as below, ZBI001 would be the top level and the others the same lever under ZBI001:
Source Structures
        ZBI001                    Transaction Header Record for Data Transfer of Routings
            ZBIMPL                   Batch Input Structure for Allocation of Mat. to Task Lists
            ZBIPKO                   Batch Input Structure for Task List Header
            ZBIPPO                   Batch input structure for task list operation
            ZBIPMK                   Inspection characteristics for batch input of task lists
In step 3, define source fields for source structure. For easy define, you may click "Object Overview">> Table to get the possible fields of the related structure, and then copy to Excel; after that, you may copy the fields directly from Excel to fields difining window in step 3.
Step 4, assign the source structures to target structures, the target structures are named the same as the source structures above, just without the letter "Z". For example, assign ZBIMPL to BIMPL, ZBIPKO to BIPKO, except ZBI001 is assigned to BI000 and BI001 as well.
Then Step 5, you may find there are RECTY and default settings are "00" "99" "01" "03" "09" "18" for BI000, BI001, BIMPL, BIPKO, BIPPO and BIPMK. Let alone "99" and imput these value to field "RECTY" in corresponding source structure fields
Then you may run auto field mapping in step 5, and make some values constant, like PLNTY=Q etc.
Then a problem with the profile under field "PROFIDNET". Run TCODE 'SPRO' to IMG>Quality Management>Quality Planning>Inspection Planning>General>Maintain Profiles for Default Values>Profile: default values plan/general. You may find there is a box named "Entry tool", tick that box, if not it is not possible to run QP01 in lsmw. And at the same time you may find the profile is 0000001. Key the value to field "PROFIDNET" and make the rule as constant.
For step 6 there is nothing to do
in Step 7, unlike other objects, you can use just one .txt file for uploading the inspection plan. When specy file, select "Data for Multiple Source Structures(Seq.file); Delimiter: Tabulator; File structure: Field order Matches source structure definition(as in Seq.file) I find not possible to put field names at start of file, so "Field Order Matching" is very important
Then how to prepare the file? We can accomplish this with 5 excel sheets
the fields orders for my customer is like this:
1)for RECTY 18(Inspection Charatristics):
MATNR     RECTY     MERKNR     KURZTEXT     VERWMERKM     QPMK_ZAEH     PMETHODE     QMTB_WERKS     STICHPRVER     PROBEMGEH     STELLEN     MASSEINHSW     SOLLWERT     TOLERANZOB     TOLERANZUN
2)for RECTY 09(Operation):
MATNR     RECTY     VORNR     STEUS     WERKS     LTXA1     UMREZ     UMREN
3)for RECTY 03(Header):
MATNR     RECTY     DATUV     VERWE     WERKS     STATU     PLNME     LOSVN     LOSBS     VAGRP     KTEXT
4)for RECTY 01(Allocation of Material)
MATNR     RECTY     MATNR     WERKS     LIFNR     KUNR
5)for RECTY 00(Transaction Header)
MATNR     RECTY     TCODE     START
Creat a new blank sheet and copy the fild contents of these 5 sheets into it, then you can sort the fields in A to Z order with Column A(MATNR), B(RECTY), and C(MERKNR), then the seq.file to be uploaded is completed.
for example:
10001042     00     QP01     20090119                                                            
10001042     01     10001042     1200                                                            
10001042     03     20090119     5     1200     4     PC     0     99999999          Screw\M16x45\GB/T5783                         
10001042     09     0010     QM01     1200     inspection     1     1                                        
10001042     18     10      inspection on material     C101     1200     JF035     1200     GUD5     PC                              
10001042     18     20      Inspection on size     C102     1200     JF034     1200     GUD5     PC
Then copy start from Column B, i.e., without the material numbers in Column A, to .txt file.
Specy the file in Step 7 in lsmw.
the step 8, assign this .txt file to all structures
then step 9, 10, 11, 12, 13 Creast Session and run it in at the end.
Actually this program is not possible for QP02. If you want to make some correction on the inspection plans in SAP, you'd better delete them and upload the revised one.
This program is very similar to CA01 Production Routing and thus also applicable to CA01. But I recommend using  Object 0170;Method 0002;Program RCPTRA02; Program Type D for CA01, because it provides testing transfer at the end so that you can check out logical errors, and much fastee. Pity that for QP01 there is no such program
