Quality Management - Usage Decision error

Hi all,
My scenerio is - There is a material ABC which is procured from the supplier. The Quality of the material is 'below standards'. However, material ABC, in Tcode QA11 Usage decision was done as ACC1 (accepted). Since the material ABC is not meeting quality standards, Usage decision is changed to RET1 (Bad Raw Material - Return) using Tcode QA12.
Now the problem is that when I enter QA11, the system does not allow me to enter as a message appears 'Detailed Info- Usage decision made is disallowed' is showing.
Please provide me a solution as the material is lying in the unrestricted stock and it has to be returned to the supplier. Also please consider costing implications.
Thanks in advance

Cancel the inspection lot in QM using the function to change the usage decision.

Quality Management - usage decision

I understand the U/D is done through QA32. Can you suggest a transaction for mass processing of usage decision for multiple insp lots

QA11 is also UD for a single lot, you can try using QA16 which collective UD for Inspection lots.

QM usage decision error

hi QM gurus,
in tcode QA11 i cannot do the usage decision, it says you have not completed all characteristic.
what shall i do to correct this. can anyone pls give me specific instructions on what to do..
thank you so much.

Hi Eva,
As the error message QC121, you will be not able to see any entry while pressing "F4" to the UD code in QA11, correct. Soooooo.......
You need to created the Codes under code group and then Selected Sets.
Then assign the same to the relevant inspection type then it will work for you.
Follow the steps.
- Run trx Qs51
- Enter '3' in catalog, 3 stands for Usage Decision.
- enter plant, the same plant where the inspection lot is created.
- Put the appropriate numeric / alphanumeric / character for the Identification of the Selected Set.
- Press Enter.
- Enter Short Text
- Set the Status as "Released" for it.
- Press Enter and make sure there is no any error.
- Noe select the line item and double click on the "Selected Set Codes" folder.
- Here Attache the appropriate Code group.Valuate the codes. And Save
Or
Just straightway pick any already created selected set.And assign it to the inspection type per below mentioned steps,.
- reach the customizing path SPRO->Quality Management->Quality Inspection->Inspection Lot Creation->Maintain Inspection Types. Execute.
- Now for the for select your relevant inspection type and assign the selected set to the "UD Selected Set"
- Save.
Now go back to QA11 and press "F4" to the UD code and try to perform UD.
Revert, if it doesn't work.

QM Usage Decision Error : Deficit Batch restricted

I am unable to reject two batches..it shows 'no inventory exsists for this material'
Usage Decision TCode gives me the following error:
Deficit Batch restricted
Can you please tell me, what might be the probable reason?
Thanks

Well.. it's basically telling you it can't find the material in the stock category it is looking for it in.
So, to resolve this, first find out where the batches really are.
Get the actual batch numbers from the inspection lots and run MMBE to see where the material is and what the status of the batch is, restricted or unrestricted.
You must then figure out where is the UD transaction looking for the material? You can check this by looking in config and the looking at the settings for the inventory posting. You should see 3 movement types for the reject posting line. One for QI, one for unrestricted and one for blocked.
What you need to do, is a) get the batch inventory into the proper inventory bucket. This might be as simple as unrestricting the batch. b) if you can't get the material where it needs to be, you might be able to temporarily change the movement type used for the reject postings. Then change it back to what it should be once you rejected the material.
Hope this helps.

Warehouse Management (WM) Quality Management Interface

When receiving materials into quality management from a purchase order the system automatically puts the material into the interim bin 902. Is it possible to configure the system to automatically create the transfer order (and select the putaway bin) from the Quality management usage decision - moving the material from 902 to the put away bin? The materials management movement type is 321.

whenever you recieve material from external supplier, then it goes to 902, this has nothing to do with the stock status.
At the same time you usually get a transfer request to move the material to the bins.
When your quality inspection is done, then this will create a so-called posting change notice with a positive quant in urestricted status and a negative quant with Q status, both in storage type 922.
It does not really matter if your q-status quantity is still in 902 or already in the final bins, when you process the posting change notice in LU04, except you are moving the postive quant manually from the 902 zone and issue already material.
Both, the automatic creation of TOs for the transfer from 902 to the bin as well as the processing of the PCN can be automated.
Background jobs are RLAUTA10 and RLAUTA11

WM - QM usage decision scrap - automatic TO creation

How can I realize an automatic transfer order processing for the following scenario:
MIGO Goods receipt posting with reference to PO into quality
QA11 Usage decision Scrap
Transfer requirement (WM mtype 551 / IM mtype 553) is being created but although the correct storage type (902 GR area external rcpts) is being determined the system cannot process the transfer order in background since the respective storage bin (dynamic IM-material document) cannot be determined => error message u201CSystem cannot find source storage binu201D.
I am able to process the transfer order in foreground successfully. Via u201Cstock figuresu201D (F7) the system is able to determine the respective storage bin (including stock search with inspection lot) correctly so I wonder why this is not being done in the background processing.

Hi,
Bin can be determined automatically only based on the strategy (for your case, it's removal strategy) assigned to the storage type in question. For 902, it's a interim storage type without strategy assigned.
I am afraid you can only manually process the TR in foreground for your scenario. Otherwise, you may consider putting away QI stock from 902 into a normal storage type. You should then be able to process the TR of scrap in background.
Hope it helps.

Quality management - Collective usage decision

I want to do collective usage decision, I am using T-code QA16, but i am not getting the list of inspection lots.
Do I need to process some other transaction before it ?
QA16 - collective usage decision for OK parts. What is mean by ok parts. is it that we have to release these inspection lots before usage decision ?

Anybody knows ?

Error while doing the Usage Decision in transaction QA32

Hello Friends,
While doing the goods receipt for customer returns from customer, system generated a inspection lot with inspection type 06.
So in QA32 transaction, system is showing that inspection lot, but in same screen, against the column InspPlan: Material, system is not showing any entry.
Later on after analysis, i found that no inspection plan was assinged to the material, Plant for which that inspection lot was created. When i checked that inpection lot in transaction QA03, in Insp. Specifications tab, agaisnt the Assigned Specification section, system was not showing any entry in fields Group, Group Counter, Plant, Usage.
And against that inspection lot,status CRTD, PREQ, CHCR are active.
Because of which, when user is trying to do the UD against this lot system throwing the error message as Status check error.
When i checked again i found that status CRTD is throwing the error message.
Hence friend, i want to do the Usage decision for that inspection lot than how to do?
Now user has assigned the material, plant to the inspection plan in QP02.
Should i go to QA02 transaction, and in Insp. Specification tab, for fields group, group counter, usage, Plant, maintain the values?
Will this allow me to do the usage decision against the inspection lot which got generated when no inspection plan was assingned to that material, plant?
Waiting for your valuable inputs.

For Result Recording and Ud the inspection lot status must be REL as u told ur status is CRTD it Mean Some master
is missing in inspection lot,generally inspection plan for that u run QA02 enter inspection lot no go to specification tab
there a button assigned specification there click on that as u click on button u will find that plan for above material copied to lot and it will show u plan detail line group and group counter no.
then go to next screen Sample if sample management is active and click on sample then system will calculate sample size then save ur lot. it would get Status As REL now ui can enter result or take UD

Error during usage decision for Test Equipment

Hi,
I have completed results recording for Test Equipment using QE51N (results closed and confirmation completed). When I tried to make usage decision (QA11) for the lot the pop-up message shows as "Not all equipment is valuated! Do you want to force inspection completion. I also noticed that in equipment tab of qa11 code valuation column shows as Not Valuated.
I request you to help me to solve this problem.
Thanks & Regards
V.Devaraj

HI,
You may try changing the valuation mode in IA06. In the inspection characteristic overivew, click on details -> operation, scroll down, you will find Quality management inspection points -> maintain automatic valuation based on inspection points.
The changes if made will be effective only for the next inspeciton lots.

Transfer Posting error upon u201CQM Usage Decision with WM HUu201D

Hello,
I am switching from the SAP system u201CUsing MIGO with WM (no SU) and Inspection Lot processingu201D to a process using u201CInbound Delivery with WM-HU and Inspection Lot processingu201D.
For e.g. I have a material with 10 pcs packed in one HU, PGRd and putaway. Inspection Lot is created for the HU containing 10 pcs. I am ideally hoping to do Posting change of 6 pcs to Unrestricted (with underlying mvmt typ 321) and Transfer Posting of 4 pcs to Qty. for Sample usage (with underlying mvmt typ 331).
In QA11, when I select posting key u201CVMENGE01 To Unrestricted useu201D, I get the error message u201CHandling Unit is locked. No assignment possible. Message No. HUFUNCTIONS007u201D. (I donu2019t have any document open to cause locking).
When I select posting key u201CVMENGE03 Qty. for Sample usageu201D, I get the error message u201CHandling Unit is locked. No assignment possible. Message No. QHU17u201D.
Here is the status in u201CInspection Lot Stocku201D tab of QA11.
u2022     Inspection Lot Qty.: 10 pcs
u2022     Sample size: 4 pcs
u2022     Status for u201CHU Transfer Postingu201D is Green
I am currently doing GR first and then putaway. Though I am open to doing putaway and then do PGR, if that can help, in any way.
Can anyone please help me with this issue? Please let me know if I need to provide more info. Thanks for your help in advance.

hi
I did GR for 10 PCs with serial numbers. During QM, when usage decision, in the tab "Inspection lot stock", I input 8 PCs to the unres, 2 to blocked stock.
Upon posting, system pops up a Serial Number dialog showing "TF quality to unrest" with No. serial no is 10/8, and a list of 10 serial numbers.
I select 8 serial to post to unres. But still, the system keeps having error "Exactly 8 serial numbers must be selected (instead of 10)"...
This error is dur to
You have selected 28 to U/r & rest you want to put to Block.
so what system does is by default it will select first U/R qty which is 8.
While stock posting it is showing 10 Sr numbers.out of which you have to select 8 for U/R.
so only select those 2 numbers which you want to put to block...Click on delet(bucket)
now only 8 will remain which you wnat to put to U/R.
select all 8 and click on ok
save.
Rest of the 2 Sr number will automatically move to unrestricted.
This is how sap in UD works for Sr nos.
This will solve your problem.

Error message during the usage decision

Dear Gurus,
While performing the usage decision in txn code QA11, i entered the relavant quantities in unrestricted-use.
Then when i tried to assign the UD code i am getting the following error message.
"You have no authorization for this catalog entry Message no. QS291"
But QA11 authorization is already there, apart from that which authorization is required.
Please give your inputs
Thanks and Regards
Hari

Hi,
As the error message says Authorisation for Calatalg 3 and the related code group is missing.
When u get this message just run /nsu53 on your screen so you know which objects are missing. Maintain those vlaues or ask Basis to mainatin these values.

AFS-QM Error in stock posting performed by taking Usage decision

Hi all,
during stock posting with 105 mov type performed by taking Usage Decision (QA11), I faced with a strange system behavior, described beneath.
Previuos steps:
Purchase order creation
Partial Good receipt performed by MIGO, mov type 103 (Blocked stock from PO)
Automatic Creation of Inspection Lot
Error encountered:
If I take usage decision (QA11) for the inspection lot created, putting the stock checked in Unrestricted Use (correspondant mov type = 105), in the following good receipt (related to the same purchase order), the incoming stock available is less of the real quantity, previously accepted..
After some checks we understood that with 105 mov type the system doubles the real quantity previoulsy accepted, acting in the following manner:
Initial PO: 100 PZ
1° Good receipt: 30 PZ
(automatic creation of inspection lot)
If we take a usage decision, posting stock to unrestricted use (mov type 105), in the 2° Good receipt, the quantity available from the same PO is not 70 PZ (100 - 30), but only 40 PZ ! ! (100 - (30 * 2)) = 40
Please note that it does not occur if we post stock (always 105 mov type) with a MIGO transaction, so we are forced to think that the problem is strictly related to AFS-QM inventory posting, and not to 105 mov type or inbounding process.
Thanks for your collaboration,
Regards,
Ale

I'm not familiar with the specific apparel and footwear solution but with regards to QM, if you are using the standard SAP delivered stock postings, it should use 105 to accept the material to unrestricted for the GR blocked.
I would first use MB51 for the material and batch and review all the material movement documents. Look at the trail of movements and try to see where the changes happen.
In your example, what did the unrestricted inventory and GR blocked inventory show as stock levels?
I'd also check OSS for issues related to AFS/QM. This is not new functionality in SAP so I would be surprised if this was an actual bug or problem in the system that hasn't been seen before.

Need to send data, after Usage decision in quality inspection (QA11)

Hi all,
After Usage decision in quality inspection (QA11), i need to send some data like material number, qty etc to external database or to external party. is there anyway i can achive this in real time? real time means, it should send the appropriate data to external party after usage decision is made.
Thanks
Pabi

Hi,
You can change results recording in case the MIC in the inspection plan of the lot are marked as "long term characteristics", else it wont be possible to change result recording.
you can change the UD code only after giving the Usage decision.
you cannot change the defects recording.
Thanks

Quality inspection stock showing in urestricted stock without usage decision

Dear Gurus,
We have came across a serious issue in Quality department as follows.
The skip stock status "REL SKIP SPRQ CROK QLCH" is showing in unrestricted use stock even before the usage decision is made. Now when we are trying to reject the skip material, in MMBE there is no stock against Quality inspection. & the stock when rejected is getting deducted from unrestricted stock.
Request you please guide me so as to transfer the "REL SKIP SPRQ CROK QLCH" stock yo quality ispection once 105 is done.
Kindly guide what configuration settings need to be changed.
Regards,
Mahesh

Thanks Saravan.
As I am new to QM kindly clarify following things to me.
1. Even if we reject the skip stock by making the usage decision, it won't be deducted from unrestricted.
2. Skip/DOL lot will never be shown under Quality inspection in MMBE.
3. The only rejection of SKIP/DOL that will happen is the line rejection.
4. Once the line rejection happens materila status will be removed as DOL & converted to normal for next 5 lots.
Correct me if I am wrong.
Thanks & Regards,
Mahesh
