Quality managment - First Article Inspection

In SAP is there any standard functionality for First Article Inspection. It is
better to have all the transaction and inspection reports in
SAP. It is easy to maintenance, easy to access and able to
monitor/evaluate the supplier with rejection and acceptance
rate.

Hi Kaushik,
First Article Inspection is similar to first part appoval that is inspection of new part which is first time received from supplier. Can we record the result of this inspection ? Is there any standard functinality. I understand we maintain Q info record. But then we can not enter inspection results for first part and not even track rejections and approvals.
Please revert back for any other information.
Thank you for your time.

  • First article inspection

    Hi,
        Has anyone successfully implemented first artlicle inspection during manufacturing ?
    Also during purchase order receipt we can have first article inspection via the Q info record. This workss fine to have the 0101 inspection type for teh first article. However if the first article inspection lot is not dispositioned, the system does not allow me to receive subsequent lots.It says "No inspection lot can be opened for vendor and material".  Is it possible to allow the system to allow subsequent receipts to take place though the first article is open ?
    Thanks

    Hi GS,
    What do you mean by first article inspection during manufacturing ?
    You create first production order for a material (SFG/FG) and completes the production order make the GR..stock goes in to quality with inspection lot generation..Now till the time this first inspection lot is cleared system should not allow create/release the second production order for the same material..
    is this the requirement ????..
    if yes... then it is not possible in standard SAP...you need to go for some enhancement...
    if no...elaborate your requirement in detail...
    Thanks

  • Flag for First Article Inspection report

    Hi
    My client wants a report to flag the part number for First Article Inspection which was lapsed in production for 2 years.
    Historic data is coming from SAP Complex assembly  manufacturing  solution ( CAMS) and can be extracted using BODS and data is coming from  SAP ECC  too.
    The requirement is to pull the Part number, Part description, Revision and Date manufactured from CAMS and ECC  to BW on Hana database and flag the part number which was lapsed 2 years for production.
    Please advise me how I should go ahead for this requirement .
    Thanks

  • First Article Inspection(FAI)

    Hi all,
             I've been hearing about FAI.Does anyone know what is First Article Inspection?Which Industries use FAI?Is it something like a Source Inspection?
    regards,
    Naik

    First article inspection as I understand it means that you set up an agreement with a vendor to produce a specific part.  You have such trust in the vendors ability to perform that you only inspect the first shipment of the material.  If the material meets all requirements of the contract, you are assuming that all future shipments will be similar and you do no more inspections.
    I think the standard SAP process for this would be Dynamic modification where you up the rule to inspect once and then have like 9999 skip lots.  Some places set it up with a time limit, like 365 days.  So that you inspect at least one shipment a year.

  • First article -Inspection lot issues

    We maintained 0101 inspection type and 04 inspection type in the material master. we maintained the Quality info-record with the profile and we maintained usage as 5 ( Good receipt ) in the inspection plan ..Inspection lot is creating for the production process , but not for the first article and it is directly receiving in to unrestricted type . Any input will be highly appreciated
    Thanks,
    Nic

    Inspection lot is creating for the production process
    Because you set up the inspection type '04' in the material master, an inspection lot is created when you make GR for production order.
    but not for the first article
    SAP does not support any inspection type for the first article of production order.
    The inspection type '0101' is relevant to purchasing process only, not production.
    it is directly receiving in to unrestricted type
    Check the inspection set up in material master and select check box of 'Post to inspection stock' for inspection type '04'.

  • Sap qm first article process?

    We are trying to implement the first article process, does anybody know the process in sap to flag(identify first article) for the parts newly received into sap?  Is there any t-code or existing process in sap?
    thanks,
    Maggie

    Hello Nehal,
    Thanks very much for your kind response, I feel very lucky to know someone has implemented similar First Article process before.
    I have some questions to clarify:
    1).   How to deal with scenario  of receiving material from different suppliers? Our first article inspection should be the combination of material and supplier(e.g. supplier A's first article got accepted does not mean for the same part we do not do FA from vendor 2, vendor 2 still requires first article)
    2).  I treid the exact steps you suggested, but could not get vendor populated in inspection lot, we do not need to do the level of characteristics for inspection, simply a sampling procedure will work for us, but I am missing the vendor info, this will defeat the whole purpose.  Can you please explain more in detail how can we link vendor info for material to show in inspection lot, inspection plan is at material master level(mm02), but we want supplier/vendor combination.
    3).  We also need to meet the requirement for buyer/quality people to manually update/change the FAIR, any suggestion on this?
    <<Personal information removed>>
    Thanks a lot!!

  • Quality Management During Goods Receipt (Inspection Lot)

    Hi all,
    >>>>>>>>>>>>
    REQUIREMENT
    <<<<<<<<<<<<
    I have a requirement that i need to write an interface program which will receive a file from external agency (manufacturer) and process goods receipt until inspection results. The following steps need to be taken care of;
    1) Create a equipment (Utilities - It is an unique identifier for each unit of the material).
    2) Do Goods Receipt for the PO with the equipment numbers created.
    3) Create Inspection Lot for the material document created during the GR for each equipment number.
    4) Execute Inspection Result.
    >>>>>>>>>>>>
    INFO NOW
    <<<<<<<<<<<<
    Inspection lot can be created from MIGO directly by SPRO config and MM master data maintenance.
    >>>>>>>>>>>>
    DONE
    <<<<<<<<<<<<
    Called BAPI to create Equipment.
    Called BAPI to create Goods Receipt.
    Inspection Lot Settings to create lots during MIGO
    1) New Inspection Type Created as SG1 at SPRO->QM->Quality Inspection->Inspection Lot Creation->Maintain Inspection types. The maintenance is a copy of type 01.
    2) Assign Inspection Type to Lot Origin at SPRO->QM->Quality Inspection->Inspection Lot Creation->Maintain Inspection Lot Origins and Assign Inspection Types. SG1 is maintained against lot origin 01 with variant 01.
    3) Set Default values for SG1 at SPRO->QM->Quality Inspection->Inspection Lot Creation->Define Default Values for Inspection Type with parameters same as for 01.
    4) In Material master for the record set the inspection setup in the quality management tab. put SG1 as active and preferred. Also set Post to insp Stock, Insp with task list, Auto Assign, Skips allowed, Serial Numbers poss, Control Insp lot as For each Material Doc Item.
    I have to kow how to select the Inspection Plan for the lot and thus set the status of lot to released and get it ready for results.
    I also have BAPI ready for Inspection Result.
    >>>>>>>>>>>>
    TESTING
    <<<<<<<<<<<<
    I have tested it and was working fine till last thursday. I have the above mentioned settings even now in the system. Can there be anything else which the functional consultants would have change that affected the process. Anyways now the inspection lot is not getting created for the Inspection during MIGO and I am really struggling to find the exact reason.
    For your info, I am working mostly on Utilities and so do not have much idea about the quality management stuff.

    Hi,
    To deactivate the Inspection Types for materials, you can use transaction QA08.
    Here use tab "Deactivate insp. type" and specify the inspection type which you want to dactivate.

  • Reverse GR after the Quality has passed the inspection lot

    I have a situation where the GR was done, Quality has approved the materail, now we are trying to reverse the GR...the system is giving error when trying to cancel the GR...
    "You cannot cancel GR, since inspection lot is already partly posted"
    How can I reverse this GR,
    PLease advice,
    Sam

    hi sameer
    To be able to reverse a stock posting for an inspection lot, the following conditions must be met:
    A usage decision has been made for the inspection lot.
    The goods in the inspection lot have been posted from inspection stock to blocked stock or unrestricted-use stock.
    If you posted the goods to a stock other than blocked stock or unrestricted-use stock (for example, to scrap), you must first post the stock back to blocked stock before you can reverse the original stock posting
    Reversing Stock Postings  
    Choose Logistics ® Materials Management ® Inventory Management ® Goods Movement ® Goods receipt ® For purchase order ® PO number known.
    The initial screen for creating a goods receipt for a purchase order appears.
    In the field for the movement type, enter 102 (goods receipt for a purchase order into warehouse - reversal).
    In the field for the purchase order, enter the purchase order number for the original goods receipt.
    You can copy the purchase order number from the inspection lot.
    Choose Enter to display the selection screen for the purchase order items.
    Select the purchase order item for which you want to create the goods receipt and set the Stock type indicator to the stock to which the goods were originally posted with the usage decision (for example, F for unrestricted-use stock or S for blocked stock).
    Save the goods receipt and exit the Materials Management component.
    Choose Logistics ® Quality management ® Quality inspection ® Inspection lot ® Usage decision ® Change with history.
    The initial screen for changing a usage decision appears.
    Enter the number of the inspection lot for which you previously made the usage decision and choose Usage decision (UD).
    To cancel the inspection lot, choose Usage decision ® Functions ® Cancel lot in the usage decision screen

  • Create Quality Management view for a Material in background mode

    I want to know if there is a way to create a Quality Management View (Quality Management tab) on Material Master (material already extended to plant ) in background mode.
    The requirement is to add inspection setup data for a material extended to a particular plant in background. I tried using 'BAPI_MATINSPCTRL_SAVEREPLICA' to add the data and it works perfect as required. Now the problem is this BAPI is creating the inspection setup data only for the material which has QM tab in MM02 for e.g. I manually created the inspection setup for a Material from MM01 and then deleted it , now the BAPI works fine for this material because when I created an inspection setup from MM01 it created the QM tab and after i deleted the entry the tab was still there with no entry in inspection setup.
    I want to create inspection setup for a material which does not have QM tab.
    I have to create everything is background mode. BDC is one option which I am list interested in.
    Thank you for helping in advance.

    Thank you for looking into my issue. I have to do the inspection setup in background without using any front end transaction.

  • 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

  • BDC for MM02 - Quality management

    Hi Friends,
    I need to create BDC program for MM02 with Quality Management View.
    My problem is with the sequence of the QM view in MM02 for different material types as per with recording.
    Kindly suggest me to resolve the issue.
    Thanks & Regards,
    S.Suresh
    Edited by: The Rock on Nov 7, 2011 1:43 PM

    Hi S.Suresh,
    I would simply read table QMAT to check if material/plant has Inspection Type '01'.
    Then, in case Inspection Type needs to be created, just call the BAPI_MATINSPCTRL_SAVEREPLICA FM with structure INSPECTIONCTRL properly filled-in.
    If successful, then remember to call BAPI_TRANSACTION_COMMIT.
    Hope this could help.
    Bye,
