Repetitive mfg - In-process inspection

Hi,
Can we do in-process inspection in repetitve mfg.
Regards,
Sravan Kumar

Dear,
Inspection Type 13 Repetitive Manufacturing: Production lines produce the same product in an unlimited number over a longer period of time. Example: Screws M8 x 40 mm (Mass production). In this case inspection plans need a relation to either time, numbers etc.
In the material master record for the finished product, you must set the indicator for quality inspection in the Quality Management view. Moreover, in the QM inspection data, you must also select and activate an inspection type with the origin 13 (repetitive manufacturing).

In-process inspection in repetitive mfg- Inspection type - 13

Hi there,
Can any one please tell me what is the differrence between the inspection type -03 & 13.
As per my understanding the only diff is that 03 is used in discrete mfg & 13 in repetitive mfg...
what is the other differrence ........??

Kaushik

Hello Kaushik,
actually you have already found out that 03 is for descrete and 13 for repetive manufacturing. What is the difference?
03 Descrete Manufacturing : Limited production numbers and can be assigned to a customer order. Example: A computer built with various extras (built to order).
Accordingly inspection plans and inspection points assigned can be configured rather freely.
13 Repetitive Manufacturing: Production lines produce the same product in an unlimited number over a longer period of time. Example: Screws M8 x 40 mm (Mass production). In this case inspection plans need a relation to either time, numbers etc.
I hope that this information answers your question.

Quality inspection in repetitive mfg

Hi
I have some queries in quality inspection setup for REP MFG.
1. Setting up inprocess inspection
2. GR Inspection from production
3. At what stage the QM lot is generated .
The inspection types used for PP-P1 03 and 04 hold good for above or should I take other inspection type.
Best wishes
Murali

Hi Bhramankar,
I have not got chance to work on the REM Live environment. But I am very anxious to work over it if I will have chance.
I have posted the thread regarding the same about the Order when I read the process scenario form the Library material on [Repetitive Manufacturing|http://help.sap.com/saphelp_46c/helpdata/en/8a/1a1eff4e4211d182be0000e829fbfe/frameset.htm].
Where the last line have link to capture the Quality inspection for REM.
The [Link|http://help.sap.com/saphelp_46c/helpdata/en/8a/1a1d794e4211d182be0000e829fbfe/content.htm] may have leaded me to write such.
If have misguided him, I sincerely APOLOGIES for that. And deeply regretted for the same.
I truly request you to posture some focus over in process inspection in REM and cultivate our information.
I again thank you for your inputs.
Dear Dharam,
The SAP standard inspection type is 13 for REM.
How to capture it? I have a [Document|http://help.sap.com/saphelp_46c/helpdata/en/8a/a5aadd4adc11d189740000e8322d00/frameset.htm] it may help you.

In-process inspection in repetitive manufacturing

Hi,
My client handles assembling of electronic products. product passes through different set of operations where in it proceeds to the next operation only when the prior operation is approved in terms of quality.
We are trying to go with repetitve mfg but we are unable to understand in-process inspection operation wise. Pls advise is this feasible or we only need to go with discrete mfg with production orders.

Dear,
1. Setting up inprocess inspection
for inprocess REM you have to maintained inspection type 13 in material master. and select task list. for that you have to maintained inspection point in your rate routing for ex for partial lot quantity based.
2. GR Inspection from production
then you go for result recording for inspection point and do the reporting point backflushed through result recording of every inspection point.
3. At what stage the QM lot is generated .
for that you have to create inspection lot in t code MFPR for your production version and for that inspection lot you have do above work.

In Process Inspection for Repetitive Manufacturing

Hi All,
I'm trying to perform in-process inspection for repetitive manufacturing. I have a semi finished material which has the inspection type 13 activated in the material master. Rate routing for it has also been created. Characteristics have been assigned to its operation and the routing is attached to a production version. When I o to MFPR to create a lot, I specify the material, plant and production version with QM active (tried the other 2 options as well) but when I execute, nothing shows up in the list. When I click on create inspection lot, it says, "either select versions or place cursor on versions now" but there's nothing in the list?
Regards,
Bilal

Hi,
Please check whether the repetitive manufacturing check box and REM profile is defined in the MRP4 of material master.
Please define that and try to run the transaction MFPR.
It should solve your problem

Inspection in Repetitive mfg.

Dear Sir,
In repetitive mfg. i m using T-code MFPR
PLease give me the next steps?
Points will be rewarded

Hi Sonal,
In REM, you need to use the inspection type 13 to be activated in the material master QM-view. Also, you need Production version for the material MRP4 view. Goto MFPR, give material, Production verion and plant. Drill down the line item and select the material and click on Create Inspection Lot. Inspection lot will be created. Inspection Lot size obtained will be that of the value which you`ve specified in the production verion. Goto QA32 do results recording and take usage decision asually.
One thing you need to note is that only one inspection lot can exist for a combination of material , PV and plant. New lot can be created only after UD has been taken for earlier lot.
Reward if cleared and close the thread.

Error while giving the production line in repetitive mfg

Hello friends,
   When i am maintaining the production version in material master for repetitive mfg, and in production line when i am giving the workcenter which is in operation of rate routing, system giving me the error message that "REP01(which is my workcenter) is not maintained in plan (planning type = plant = smp1)".Message no. is CFVO90.
      Though i have got the solution of this message, but i am not able to understand the solution.
      Actually while creating the production version in material master, for task list data i was only maintaining the task list type, Group Number and Group counter for Rate Based only as Rate Routing.And when i would give the workcenter which is in operation of rate routing then system would give me the error.
       Later on when i maintained the Task list type, Group Number and Group counter for Detailed scheduling, Rate Routing, and Rough cut scheduling and than maintained the workcenter in production line,system didn't give the error.
      My question is as we are doing the repetitive mfg, and as we have maintained the rate routing, so why it so that in Detailed scheduling and rough cut scheduling also we have to maintain the Task list type, Group Number and Group counter.
     Plz guide.

Hello pravin,
Thanks for the reply.
Actually if i give the details of Task list type, Group, Group counter for Rate based scheduling only in production version and if i maintain the workcenter which i have given in the operation of Rate Rounting in production line then system is throwing the error mentioned above.
    Unless and until i mention the details of Rate Routing for all i.e. Detailed scheduling, Rough cut scheduling and Rate based scheduling, system is not allowing me to save the production version.
       As per your answer, even i am confused that as i have ticked the repetitive mfg in mrp 4 view and as i have given REM profile, so system should not give me the error when i only maintain the rate routing data in Rate based scheduling in production version.
      Is there any other way to solve this error.If not than whats the logic behind it.
           I hope u have understood my query.

Production order should be confirmed before in-process inspection UD

We guys,
I have activated the In-process inspection for one Finished goods and inspection lot is getting created when Production order released. This production order can be confirmed without UD for In-process inspection lot.
Please let know How can I control that Production order should not be able confirm before UD of Inspection lot for in-process inspection.
When production order released it means an production has just starded. Then What is the meaning in getting the inspection lot created on release of production. I think it is supposed to be on completion of each opration.
Please give your inputs.
Thanks
Dhanu

Hello
inprocess inspection are used to assisst you to record results , defect , rework, during the production operation. It is defined to get created during the release of the order. It gives QM personnel a control over the quantity confirmation. You can do the result recording based on time and quantity.
Operation confirmation and UD are independent and it will not be possible to do confirmation once you do the UD.
The controls that can be brought in 03 inspection for a better usage
1) Result recording mandatory for all inspection points
2) QM operation can be confirmed only by QM personnel
3) At the time of GR of the order check whether UD for the lot is given. Make UD mandatory for GR of the order
4) Only after QM operation confirmation the next operation can be confirmed
5) make use of Rework to capture rework cost and First Pass Yield
Hope this gives some picture to you

Caution: Info structures S026 and S226 are active for repetitive mfg

Hi,
When I run the standard report MCRO - Material Usage Analysis: Repetetive Manufacturing, I am getting the message
Caution: Info structures S026 and S226 are active for repetitive mfg
How to overcome this.
thanks and regards
muru

Hi,
Try Thi - might work.:
1) Before running the tcode MCRO - (i.e type MCRO in the commond prompt and then do the next steps)
2) Menu- Got to- User settings
3) Default your user name will be there.
4) Now start selecting key figures and charecteristics.
Save and try to execute.

Result Recording for In Process Inspection

At the time of taking Usage Decision for In Process Inspection, system gives warning message if Results have not been recorded. Can this Warning message be changed to Error message so that user could not able to take UD without recording the results.
Thanks in advance
Srini

Dear Srini
1)Use status profile for restricting the user to do UD without doing RR. use this link for doing it
Link: [https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/20fbc091-ea3a-2b10-f0a3-877ffbf36436]
2) you can use this auth object for doing the same restriction - Q_INSP_FIN

Stock updation in In process inspection

Hello everyone,
I had a question regarding In process inspection
My client requires that upon performing in process inspection ( currently inspection type:03) he should be able to automatically post the same to Blocked or unrestricted use stock as recorded
This I know is possible if I post stock first using GR (inspection type:04) As a result stock goes automatically to QC stock. But this would not serve the purpose since he again has to do quality UD again.
So is there any way I can do this?
Any help is higly appreciable.
Sincerely,
Aji

In QM view for 04 inspection type -->
An inspection type assigned to inspection lot origin 04 is active
The Control of inspection lot creation indicator for the inspection type is set so that the system will create an inspection lot for early inspection for goods receipt
This will create then inspection lot of 04 when you release the production/process order.This lot is created along with 03 inspection type but it is not stock relevant.

COA's with In-process Inspection & w/o Batch Management

Hi Folks,
We are doing in-process inspection in our system, for production. Also, we donot use batch management. Yet, we've COA's that need to be generated on our finished products before their dispatch to the customers.
I've previously used COA's in a Batch Managed & GR Inspection (type 04) scenario. Not sure if COA's can be generated for my scenario (in-process inspection & no batch mgmt). Would like to take suggestions from you experts on how do I approach this.
Thanks
Anand

I believe you should be able to generate COA's using the 03 inspection results, but... I've never tested it or tried to do it. But in using 03's there are some issues that you'd have to check on and test out.
I don't think you'll be able to have the same test in the inspection lot more then once. This can happen if you run the same test at different operations of the process. Such as water content which might be tested several times during production. You might also have some issues if you use inspection points. I think it will use the last test result regardless of inspection points. But I'm not 100% sure on that.
You will also to need to make sure there are UD's on the inspection lot. You'll probably want to run the Auto UD for production lots and have it close all lots where the order has a TECO status.
Other then those cautions, it should work similarly to reporting results from an 04 inspection lot.

QM In-Process Inspection for Batch Managed Material

Hi,
I have a issue related to UD of In-Process inspection for batch managed material. The production process is discrete manufacting for a cold rolling mill. A production order can have mutiple coils as per the production amount. To track the individual coil , batch management has ben activated. We have both in-process as well as inspection after production here.
For inspection after production we are fine as we are doing partial confirmation after every coil and have separate inspection lot having different batch number.
But for in-process I can have only one inspection lot for the production order (created on release of the production order). I can do the result recording but while trying to do UD u2013 it is asking for a batch number as the material is batch managed. W/o entering the batch number system is not allowing me to do the UD.
Is there any solution/work around of this problem.
-Regards
ashim

Hi Ashim,
you raised a very good question? i am helpless here to execute same scenario,
but i disussed with my QM guy here, he said, once the material is batch managed then it has to ahve batch in UD.
so i discussed ur case, which is very much valid for heavy ind like cement and all,
so what i suggest, u create a dummy batch in the UD for in process (no inventory posting)
and at confimation give ur usual batch (if system propose the dummy batch which u give in the UD for inprocess, try to change there--- i hope it should allow)
i would really like to here answer from u for this.
try to do as suggested, and let me know the results.
REgards,

QM- In-process inspection Setup

Hi all,
My requirement is :
- to setup inprocess inspection in the final operation in routing,
- the operation and order can only be confirmed if the usage decision of inspection is favorable.
- want Auto GR to happen after favorable usage decision and subsequent operation& order confirmation.
I have done the following:
- attached an in process inspection type with a required UD set and made it active
-created an MIC and assigned in routing
-assigned a control key that allows inspection and autoGR to the final operation in routing.
The following happens when i test my setup
- When i release the order an inspection lot is created.
BUT, the problem i face is that when i confirm the final operation the Auto GR happens and the FG is posted to unrestricted stock even though the usage decision is not entered for the inspection lot. What i want is that on confirming the order the FG should be posted in Quality stock and once i enter the favorable usage decision it should automatically get posted to unrestricted use.
Could you please tell me what i am missing here?
Thanks,
Ashok

Hi!,
Actually inprocess inspection doesn't involve any inventory movement. Means you can't control any goods movement with inspection type "03". Only inspection types 01, 04 and 08 involves control on goods movements. For your requirement you need to opt for goods receipt inspection i.e. inspection type "04". For this you need to assign an inspection setup in material master with insp type "04", create an inspection plan for the produced material. Now when you make an order and confirm some quantity then system will create an inspection lot and till you give UD to that the confirmed quantity will remain in quality stock.
I hope this will solve your problem. In case of further queries please revert back.

Uday
