QM Material specification with inspection plan

Hello,
I'm trying to setup QM material spec with inspection plan and it doesn't work.
I setup material master (With insp plant and with material spec).
I Created a characteristic that I used in my inspection plan and maintained the characteristic in the material specification.
When I create an inspection lot (89), the characteristic is always inserted at the end instead of redefining my specifications into the pre-defined characteristic.
Have I missed something?

As per our business scenario for Pharmaceutical we use Inspection with attached MIC with Sampling and Sample drawing Procedure, Sampling scheme to check the Quality of RM/PM/FP, can u give me some idea regarding;
1) Material Specificaton in Inspection plan
2) Reference Operation set with its use.
3) Dynamic Modification Rule
As for pharma we do;
1) Create MIC
2) Create Inspection plan
3) Attaching the MIC to an Inspection plan with sampling and sample drawing procedure
4) Attacing an Inspection Plan to an Inspection Lot
5) Result Recording and Usage Decision of Inspection lot for
In Automotive and othe Process Industry how the Dynamic modification rule,reference operation set, material specification flow.

Material specification and Inspection plan - Task list usage

Dear Friends,
In inspection type Task list usage is assigned
For Example
inspection type 01 - usage - 03
inspection type 05 - usage - 05
inspection type 06 - usage - 07
inspection type 10 - usage - 06
In my scenario i want to use all the above inspection type for a product
if i use mateial specification there is no any problem with my Task list usage
If suppose i use inspection plan do i need to create different inspection plan with different usage
or is it possible to create one inspection plan with all the above usage
what about universal usage 03 can i use it
i try to use but system does not triggering inspection lot
can any one Suggest some ideas
Many Thanks & Regards
Raj

Hi Raju,
All of first pls understand the concept of Task list and specification.
If you need to inspection any material in very systematic manner, where you will have well segregated operations where the appropriate Work Centers will be bind and under that hierarchy MIC will be attached. The inspection will be governed by some inspection points. And according the the same Samples will be calculated. When you wanna go with all these functionality then you must have to use Task list (Inspection plan).
And if you don't wish to have these functions then simply go with the material specification.
Now it comes the actual query about task list usage.
If there is a common inspection plan is supposed to be used for all the inspection types for your material then you can prepare only one inspection plan, put ant of the Usage to it it can be 05 or 03 universal. But what you have to do is,
Go to SPRO->Quality Management->Quality Inspection->Inspection Lot Creation->Maintain Inspection Types Execute and set the Task list usage as the same it is set in the inspection plan for all those Inspection types for which that common inspection plan is supposed to be used.
Note:- There is no any link between inspection lot creation and task list usage of inspection plan.

Difference between Material Specs and Inspection Plan

Hi ALL,
Whats the difference between Material Specifications and Inspection plan...?...Why Material Specification is required in QM...?
Thanks & Regards,
Ameya K.

Hi Ameya,
 The first thing is that material spec is the client level data in QM where as Inspection plan is the plant level.

Case 1: Suppose that there is an attribute Viscosity whivh needs to be checked whose UCL & LCL is 10 to 15. But in one plant where some highy precise requirement is there ...... then in that case we want that for that plant for the material viscocity should be 5 to 7 . In that case the requirement of the inspection plans comes in to picture .
Case 2 : The material got one extra attribute needs to be checked for some plant .... in that case we need to maintain inspection plan for that material with both Insp with material spec & insp with inspection plan need to be checked so that during the result recording apart from the attributes in the material spec this extra attribute gets populated from inspection plan
Note : Apart from this as in material spec the data is maintained in the client level the load in the database will be compartively less as there will not be any duplication of data which will be there in case of plant level data for the same material ..........
I hope this will add some info apart from what the gurus has suggested above .....
Please reward points if helpful.....
Thanks & Regrads

Link of material movement with inspection type

Hello Masters,
I have scenario where component at shop floor will be segregated for inspection. The requirement is to do result/defect recording for those parts and if required then those parts need to be scrapped. So one way of doing that can be to move those parts to either blocked stock or QI stock (ideal option) or to specific storage location so that planning can be taken care of (if material are still in unrestricted then planning will consider those part as OK part and planning may fail). And to record result/defect we require inspection lot, which can be created by using above mentioned material movement.
But problem is how to create inspection lot so that we can do result/defect recording for those materials and scrap those material.
Please note that material master will have QM setup active (inspection type 01 - Goods Receipt Insp. for Purchase Order) and hence we can move material from unrestricted stock to QI stock only through QM.
I am not sure if we should use inspection type 08 - Stock transfer inspection, as there can be many instances of material transfer within plant. And with inspection type 08 active, system will create inspection lot every time there is any material transfer.
One way can be to create new goods movement only for this kind of transfer and new inspection type and link both together. So that when ever material is transferred using that particular goods movement, system creates inspection lot as well as material will be in QI stock. But I am not sure how this is possible or not and if yes then how this can be done.
I know query was too long to read and I think I was clear enough to explain what the requirement is.
It would be great if I can get some guidance from you masters at the earliest convenience as it is bit of importance.
Thanks and regards,
Devang

Hi Devang,
I guess this is Line rejection scenario. Correct me if understanding goes wrong. You have okayed the material against 01 inspection lot and UD has been given. Now you find this material defective on shop floor.
I think the 2nd option suggested by marwadi sounds better. I suggest one more possibility, just check whether feasible.
1.     Create quality notification Q2 type through QM01. While creating you can give references of original PO and material document, which fetch vendor name and material code automatically.
2.     Record defects and all other required information in notification.
3.     After this, you find an option in action box, transfer post unrestricted - >block . Click there. This will transfer the stock from unrestricted to block.
4.     If you want planning persons should not consider this stock as OK, remove block stock from MRP stock availability check. As a result of which stock lying in block will not be considered as available stock.
5.     From block stock you can send this material back to vendor through MIGO. Otherwise you can create return delivery from notification through action box also. Check what is feasible in your case.
Here you need not create inspection lot, no need to use any user exit.

Specifications and Inspection Plans

Hi,
I have few questions regarding Specs and Inspection plans.
1) What is the primary purpose of specifications(CG02 transaction)?
2) What is the use of specficications in QM and EHS modules?
3) How are specifications related to Inspection plans?
4) What is the business advantage by enabling specification data to be copied directly into Inspection plans?
Thanks in adavnce
Vishnu

The idea is that you can maintain all the specs in the EH&S module in one place. Specs are used of course to evaluate the material and make sure the material is what it is suppose to be.
The transferring however of the specs from the EH&S module to QM however leaves a lot to be desired. I don't recommend it at this time. If you attempt to do it, plan on bringing in a consulting partner or consultants. You'll probably wind up doing a lot of coding to make it work for you as there isn't much flexibility or functionality as it is currently delivered. All IMHO.

Udating material master with changed planned delivery time in contract

Hi experts ,
My question is while we are changing the planned delivery time in the contract we need to udate the same in the material master table . so how to update the material master table with new planned delivery time. Is there any FM exits to udate it and if it is then how to use it.
thanks
Anshuman

Hi Madhu ,
You are right we can use BAPI_MATERIAL_SAVEDATA but if we use it then we have to use BAPI_COMMIT also to make sure that all the changes are saved completly and if we do BAPI_COMMIT then it maye commit all the task which is in queue and it need to update later. So it is again a issue .
Thanks

Material valuation with respect planned price 1 in material master

Dear All,
     The costing variant PPC1 has been used for released cost estimate. In my scenario I want to create one more variant say ZPC1 where to calculate the value of the material from the planned price 1. In this case
1.     What should be the validity date mentioned in the material master for valuation
2.     The variant has been configured as
a.     Costing Type 12 Mod Std cost Est
i.     Price Update No Update
ii.     Save Parameter With Start of Period
iii.     Misc Cost Sheet
b.     Valuation Variant 001 Planned Valuation
i.     Material Valuation - Planned Price
ii.     Standard Price
c.     Date control
i.     From Date : Start of Current Posting Period
ii.     To Date : End of Current Posting Period
iii.     Qty Struc Date : Current Date
iv.     Val Date : Current Date
d.     Qty Structure Control (As PPC1)
3.     When I run the standard cost estimate with variant ZPC1 the system calculates the standard price of the material even when the price is mentioned in the planned price1.
How the variant should be created to capture the planned price for calculation when using the variant ZPC1.
Kindly help me in this regards
Regards
Vasantha

HI,
The requirement is to execute the cost estimate quaterly for planned price 1.
So we are planning to create separate costing variant to pick the planned price 1 of RM.
Clinet has the Excel file with the details of RM and Price combination but the prices are not available in SAP.
We are looking for the Mass transaction to upload the prices in Planned price 1.
Kindly help.
Thanks,

Material to material transfer with inspection results

Hi,
Could you please suggest me, how to tranfer inspection results from material to material?
Thanks & Regards,
Nataraj

Hi,
once list of inspection lots are generated, the data may contain several results as opted, incldung Start date and end date for the inspection, Plant, Processing status of the inspection lot and Material description. from the data generated, the transfer of inspection results may be taken up as the generation of lot results are not completed till usage decision code is entered. u may try with following link

Inspection plan Vs Material specification

What is the difference between this and their limitation ,,when we have to use Inspection plan and when for the Material specification ?..Any detailed explanation please
Thanks for the help

Inspection plan and when for the Material specification
Inspection plan is plant specific material & plant combination.Means if same material is used in other plant you can not have Inspection plan of other plant used.
Whereas when you hava material specs then it is not plant specific.Nce created it can be used for any plant.
This can be used when your specifications are not plant depeendent.
Explore on sdn you will get more explainations..........

QM workcenter with material specification

Hi there ,
I am using the material spec for a material to inspect. Can anyone please suggest me that where can I maintain the QM workcenter for it as we are not using the inspection plan
Regards
Kaushik

Hi.
However, since you cannot predefine work centers in the material specification, but the inspection specifications are defined in the material specification, you must proceed as follows:
a)You create a material specification with master inspection characteristics.
b)You create a dummy inspection plan that only contains one operation with one work center.
c)In the inspection setup (Quality Management view of the material master), set the indicators Insp. with task list and Insp. with mat spec

QM-Assign inspection plan to a variant of material (classification view)

Hello,
Inspection plans are commonly assigned to materials.
In my case, I would like to manage, in Classification view (MM01), a new characteristics named "Variant" that could have 2 or more values, depending on which variant I order to my supplier.
But is it possible to assign an inspection plan at this sub-level ? In QP01 the only possibility I see is assigning a material to the inspection plan. Can I customize something, or does it exist a trip to manager another level of assignment ?
Thanks a lot for your help !
Emilie

Hi Emilie,
Now I understood your requirement. But I would like to know the exact purpose of this requirement so that I can try to give you correct solution.
I will consider your example:
Material : 123
Classification: Inspection
Characteristics 1: Variant 1 for Inspection 1
Characteristics 2: Variant 2 for Inspection 2
Selection of inspection plan takes place during the creation of inspection lot. So now you have to link this material/classifcation/inspection plan combination at the time of inspection lot creation. I doubt whether this can be done using one user exit.
The user exits are
EXIT_SAPLCZCL_001
EXIT_SAPLCZDI_001
EXIT_SAPLCZDI_002
Please let me know whether it helps.

Why do we need material specification for transfering results to class char.

Hi,
Can you guys tell me why do we need to create material specification if we want to transfer quality inspection results to a batch class?
Basically I have done the following:
-Create Class Characteristic
-Assign the Class Characteristic to a batch class
-Link Class Char. to MIC
-Assign MIC to an Inspection Plan
-Post GR, batch and inspection lot are created automatically
-Record Results for inspection Lot
-Make UD for Inspection Lot
The result is not transferred to batch class, then I create material specification with the MIC assigned, the results can be transferred. But why?
Best regards
Danny

Hello Danny,
This is a standard program, which checks for this indicator at the time of inspection lot completion.
F1- help gives satisfactory explanation
Batch Valuation Possible Without Specification
Use
If you set this indicator, a link between the master inspection
characteristics and the class characteristics for the batch class must exist
when an inspection lot is created, for batch valuation to occur when the usage
decision or inspection point valuation is made. A link within the material
specification is not required.
If you do not set this indicator, batch valuation only occurs when the
usage decision or inspection point valuation is made, if a link using the
material specification exists between the master inspection characteristics and
the class characteristics for the batch class. In this way, you can control on a
material-dependent basis whether the batch characteristics are valuated based on
the inspection results.
Amol.
Message was edited by: Amol Manave : Main purpose is you can control whether Batch characteristics should be valuated based on results or not for particular material. If you set this indicator then batch characteristics will be valuated for all materials and in opposite case Batch characteristics will be valuated for only materials for which Material Specification exists.

How to progammatically get Inspection Characteristics from Inspection Plan

How do I programmatically get Inspection Characteristics from an inspection plan? I am currently getting inspection characteristics from inspection lots via a QM-IDI RFC call (QIRF_SEND_REQUIREMENTS_GET_DAT2), but if the Inspection Characteristic is not in an inspection lot, I don't get it via the RFC call. What BAPI/RFC/IDOCS mechanism can I use from an external subsystem (VB.NET app) to get inspection characteristics (Spec Limits, Target, Operation, Activity) associated with a material in an inspection plan?
Thanks,
Ed

The problem is the SAP system that my external subsystem (VB.NET application using QM-IDI) is interfacing with does not have inspection lots (and the customer is not willing to add inspection lots), so the QM-IDI RFC that I'm using (QIRF_SEND_REQUIREMENTS_GET_DAT2) does not return the inspection characteristics (spec limits, etc) that I require. My customer creates a reference (QP11) with inspection characteristics, then attaches the reference to a Material (QP01). When I try to get the inspection characteristics for the material via QIRF_SEND_REQUIREMENTS_GET_DAT2, I don't get the inspection characteristics because there is no inspection lot associated with the material and inspection characteristics.
The design is for my external subsystem to do the Material Inspection Characteristic valuation, and then send the valuation results back to SAP. Is there a way to get Material Inspection Characteristics and then send the results back given the SAP setup I described above?
Thanks,
Ed

Mass assignment of materials to Inspection Plan

All,
Is there any standard transaction or BAPI/BADI to assign multiple materials viz 1000 plus to an Inspection plan.
Thanks
Anup

You have two option to upload mass materials to inspection plan.
Option1: Go to QP02 --> Material assignment screen. Here you can assign 14 materials at a time and do page down to assign next 14 materials. This is time consuming activity.
Option2: With help of techinical person develop LSMW/ BADI which call QP02 to update material assignment in inspection plan.
Please find few relavent descussion below, I hope it will help you take decisioon.
