Sample Size calculation for a Inspection Lot

Dear SAP Gurus,
I have one doubt regarding Sample calculation for Inspection lot. Please give your inputs on this.
The sceanrio is like this -
1. A Quality Plan is created with one operation (operation # 0010)
2. To this operation 0010 in the quality plan, 2 MICs are assigned.
3. For the 1st MIC, a 100 % inspection sampling procedure is assigned.
4. For the 1st MIC, a sampling procedure with Percentage sample (Sampling type - 400) is assigned.
My question is - When inspection lot is created after GR from purchase order, which sampling procedure will be used to calculate the Sample size that we see in QA03 under Sample tab?

Sample size calculation for Source Inspection

Dear Gurus,
I have an issue regaring sample size calculation for Source Inspection.
I created a PO for 500 nos.
The sampling procedure assigned in the Quality Plan is %age based (10%).
When Inspection lot is created, system is caluating the Sample size as 500 and not 50.
Moreover, when I go to Result Recording, the Inspection qty for the MIC is shown as 1. If the system is calculating sample size as 500, then the inspection qty for the MIC should also be 500. Moreover, the sample size should be 50 only.
Please provide your inputs on this.

Sample Size Calculation in Quality Management

Dear QM Experts,
We are facing an issue in sample size calculation when the Inspection Lot Quantity is less than 1 Kg Lets Say for Ex: 0.5 Kg. We are using MICs inside the Plan with suitable Sampling Procedure. The Sampling Procedure has the Following Settings
Sampling Type = Fixed Sample, Valuation Mode = Attributive inspection for Non-Confirming Units, No of Samples = 2
So Whenever the Inspection Lot Quantity is 1 Kg or More than that then Each of the MICs inside the results recording screen has the "Inspect" Column correctly set to 2. However when the inspection Lot Quantity is set to 0.5 Kg, the "Inspect" Column for that MIC is set to "1".
Kindly Provide your suggestions how to handle this ?. Kindly advise if we can avoid this by changes to Inspection Plan or Sampling Procedure.We would like to have the "Sample Size" or the "No of Inspections" to be carried out on a MIC to be Fixed irrespective of the Inspection Lot Quantity.
Regards
Ram

Hi All,
Issue Resolved by Adjusting the Base Unit of Measure against the MICs. SAP Calculates Sample Size by multplying the Sample Size in the Sampling Procedure ( = 2) and the Base Unit of Measure against that MIC (0.5 KG). So SAP Calculates this for each and Every MIC inside that operation and takes the highest number out of that. Therefore the minimum sample Size requirement in the above case was = 0.5 X 2 = 1 KG
If the Inspection Lot is created with a quantity lesser than this then the Inspect Column Showed "1" although the sampling procedure had a sample size of "2". This is because SAP finds that the Inspection Lot quantity and therefore the sample size in the lot is not enough to meet the minimum sample size requirements for that operation. To resolve this issue we modified the Base quantity as 0.1 KG and it resolved our issue

How partial inspection is done for a inspection lot & vendor payment done based on inspection result

Dear Gurus,
In our business 1000 bag material is received in one material document. So one Inspection lot is created.
Now business take randomly 10 bags from that 1000 bag & inspected. The Bags are inspected on various parameters such as Weight , Fabric , Valve Size , Cross Sec Area, Print Quality , Stitching Thread , etc . The values for all this types of parameters are prepared in an excel sheet in a prescribed format.
The Values for each Quality Parameters are then matched with the desired prescribed average figures.
Based on the Values which deviate from "Average" figures , deductions are computed
Logic is 1% for single defect in a bag for 1 parameter . Likewise if more defects is found then add 1% in multiples
e.g 1% + 5 defects then .05 * basic Raw material cost .
This figure along with proper description is recorded under "Remarks" column of the report format and send to Accounts department for the
deduction process from Vendor
we need to capture the inspection parameters in system as per the above process.
And please tell me how I configure this process in SAP .
Thanks & Regards,
Bubai

Hi Bubai,
you can create a QM Control Key (which is used to QM View of Material Master) which you have to set the indicator Block Invoice. This indicator is blocked invoice with blocking reason I (I = Inspection) if there is still no usage decision for the inspection lot or the inspection lot is reject.
(SPRO -> Quality Management -> QM in Logistics -> QM in Procurement -> Define Control Keys).

Standard Report for all inspection lots

Dear all,
Pls guide me from where I can retrieve the data for result recorded for MIC, inspection lot wise.
Actually currently working for Pharma company where we are using, Inspection Plan (task list type Q), with inspection point 200 u2013 Physical sample. Materials are being managed through Batches, so each inspection lot is having separate batch number.
Now the requirement is to find a STD sap report that can retrieve us the result for a material for all the inspection lots (Batches) it have, in the report type from where I can down load it to word/excel.
In short, the report should contain, Material, results for all MICs under all inspection lots.
I have already tried out;
QGP1 but it shoe the result for only a MIC at a time.
QGA2 but not able to visualize results for all MICs at once.
MCXB but, gives only the quantity of MICs not the results of it.
Regards,
Shyamal Joshi

Hi Craig,
The requriement is to have results for the Inspection lots only, not for the batch values.
The report MCXD is giving the quantitative analysis for the batches, I will be very pleased if you suggest me any report that gives me the results (values entered during result recording) of these MICs, inspection lot wise, just as the MCXD give quantitative.
I think the term BATCH is creating confusion, that is Y u have suggested me CL03N, but as I have mentioned eariler also, currenlt working with Pharma company, where each manufacturing lot is give a batch number, (in sap terminology the Batch management function, MSC1N), that is why i freauently used BATCH. Sorry for that communicational error from my side, and I am very much thank full to you for your each valuable comment, suggestion.

Error in Setup Tables for QM Inspection Lots

Hi,
I have an issue when I attempt to fill the setup tables for QM that I receive the following error for the Inspection Lots (QV) only. When I fill the setup tables for Notifications and Inspection Results, then these are OK and use the same standard function module 'qmex_inspection_lot_import_ini'.
"Internal error in program SAPLQMEX, function module / subroutine qmex_inspection_lot_import_ini, code 1".
Has anyone any ideas of the cause or have you experienced this before?
Thanks,
Scott

Hi,
The most likely reason that leads to the above error message in your
system is an inconsistency of the inspection lots.
To get the inconsistent inspection lot,please check your system in the
following way:
- transaction OLIQBW for running Setup table
- switch on debugging mode
- set break point in the function QMEX_INSPECTION_LOT_IMPORT_INI
on the line:
ELSE.
   MESSAGE e011(qmex) WITH sy-repid
                           'qmex_inspection_lot_import_ini'
                           '1'.
> then excecute F8 to go to this break point.
- double klick on ' l_qals-prueflos'
on line 77 in the same function QMEX_INSPECTION_LOT_IMPORT_INI:
READ TABLE qave_tab INTO l_qave
                    WITH KEY prueflos = l_qals-prueflos <      here !
                    BINARY SEARCH.
Please check following note:

Multiple notifications for an Inspection lot

Hello
I would like to create one notification by defect keyed for an inspection lot .
If I work with serial numbers I can create one notification by defect
If I don't use serial numbers , all defects are linked to a single notification even though I remove the tick for "One notification by Inspection lot " in the Inspection lot category customizing ?
I would like to know if there is a way to do that.
Thanks for your help

Collective UD for 04 inspection lot origin

Hi All,
I need to know about collectived UD for 04 inspection lot origin. In QA16, I do not get any 04 lots. Do I have to go for QA41? Then what are the prerequisites and configurations?
Thanks in advance!

Hi Sujit,
I tried this and made a variant in QA41 too. But some its not working. I searched in google and SDN and found all steps are followed, but its just not working.
My settings are:
1. Auto UD time taken as 12 hours in customizing
2. Auto UD box ticked for material
3. In QA41, created a variant (In full screen)
4. Inspection lot selection taken as order confirmed
5. UD codes, plant all set
Now what i feel i am mistaking in scheduling the variant. Can anyone please let me know the steps to schedule it?
My scenario is: for 04 type materials, I want to do a collective UD when lots are OK
And Do I have to assign to any material?
Thanks!

Sample Size Calculation based on the results

Dear all
I have a scenario as below
for a product the upper and lower specification is given as below
Upper spec 19.00mm
Standard 18.00mm
Lower spec 17.00mm
my client is having ranges as below
Range 1
Upper spec 19.0 to 18.75
Lower spec 17.0 to 17.25
Range 2
Upper spec 18.75 to 18.50
Lower spec 17.25 to 17.50
Range 3
Upper spec 18.50 to 18.25
Lower spec 17.50 to 17.75
Range 4
Upper spec 18.25 to 18.00
Lower spec 17.75 to 18.00
a) Initially the sample size is 50%. Starts with range 4 .
b) if consecutive 5 receipts are ok we want to switch to range 3 - sample size 25%.
c) if consecutive 5 receipts are ok we want to switch to range 2 sample size 10%
e) and range 1 sample size 5%.
f) if there is any rejection at any range, then reset to range 4.
g) if out of specification noticed then the next incoming material will be inspection in the next lowest range. ie in range 1 out of specification noticed shift to range 2 in the next Goods receipt.
I know that Sampling scheme can be used but how to link the specifications in it.
How to link this in SAP QM.
awaiting for your valuable feed back Please.

Hi Sri,
As per your requirement you have to create 4 MIC as well as 4 DMR follow the below step.
1. Create MIC1,MIC2,MIC3,MIC4
2. Create DMR1,DMR2,DMR3,DMR4
3. Assign the DMR at MIC level.
a) Go to QP01 In Header data screen choose Dynamic mod. level DMR at character level. (Don't assign any DMR here)
b) In Characteristics screen assign DMR to MIC
(Range1) MIC1 - DMR1
(Range2) MIC2 - DMR2
(Range3) MIC3 - DMR3
(Range4) MIC4 - DMR4
Save the Inspection plan.
DMR detail explaination
As per your requirement MIC4 will be initially inspected (ie: range 4) and remaing MIC all are after 5 consecutive lots if any rej at any stage again inspect the Range4.
DMR1: Create 2 Stage (1st is SKIp 2nd is Inspection)
Stage1: Start with Initial stage, Tick in SKIP, and Maintain No Skip as 15 (Bcz your case You need this MIC1 after 15 lot (555)), Skip duration 999 (Bcz your case days not consider) New Stage 2 (Bcz after complete the 15 lot it will go to 2nd stage for Inspection.), Rej 1 , New Insp 1 (Bcz rejected means MIC1 is not required)
Stge:2, Insp Sev 4, Ist Enter Description as Inspection required and press enter.
In another small popup screen enter no of Inspection 5 , New Stage as 2, Rej 1, New 1,
DMR2: Create 2 Stage (1st is SKIp 2nd is Inspection)
Stage1: Start with Initial stage, Tick in SKIP, and Maintain No Skip as 10 (Bcz your case You need this MIC2 after 10 lot (5+5)), Skip duration 999 (Bcz your case days not consider) New Stage 2 (Bcz after complete the 10 lot it will go to 2nd stage for Inspection.), Rej 1 , New Insp 1 (Bcz rejected means MIC2 is not required)
Stge:2, Insp Sev 4, Ist Enter Description as Inspection required and press enter.
In another small popup screen enter no of Inspection 5 , New Stage as 1, Rej 1, New 1,
DMR3: Create 2 Stage (1st is SKIp 2nd is Inspection)
Stage1: Start with Initial stage, Tick in SKIP, and Maintain No Skip as 5 (Bcz your case You need this MIC3 after 5 lot ), Skip duration 999 (Bcz your case days not consider) New Stage 2 (Bcz after complete the 5 lot it will go to 2nd stage for Inspection.), Rej 1 , New Insp 1 (Bcz rejected means MIC3 is not required)
Stge:2, Insp Sev 4, Ist Enter Description as Inspection required and press enter.
In another small popup screen enter no of Inspection 5 , New Stage as 1, Rej 1, New 1,
DMR4: Create 2 Stage (1st is Inspection 2nd is Skip)
Stge:1, Insp Sev 4, Start with Intial stage Ist Enter Description as Inspection required and press enter.
In another small popup screen enter no of Inspection 5 , New Stage as 2, Rej 1, New 1,
Stage2: Tick in SKIP, and Maintain No Skip as 999 , Skip duration 999 (Bcz your case days not consider) New Stage 2, Rej 1 , New Insp 1 (Bcz rejected means again inspect the MIC4)

Multiple result recording for Manual inspection Lot using inspection point

I want to record inspection result for inspection type 89 against *inspection point*. Then I create new inspection point and assign it in quality plan. Then I have done the multiple result recoding against one manual inspection lot in DEV server. But when it is going to QAS server then error is coming during result recoding. Error is "The results transaction cannot be used for
inspection" Message no. QE094.
Plz give me the solution to record the result.

Reason is very simple : the the inspection point definition in the task list header is incompatible with the sampling procedure assigned to the characteristic.Make sure that you select the appropriete radio button in QDV1 while creating sampling procedure and assign the same against each of the MIC's in the task list.
Make sure that the sample tab in QA02 is pressed while assigning the inspection specification & status of the lot is REL

Multiple results recording for Delivery inspection lot

Hi Gurus,
My requirement is to configure for quality results recording for sales delivery document. Where client wants to record Customer, supplier, Umpire, etc results record for inspection characteristics.
I got response from few Sapiens that I should use Inspection point concept for multiple results recording. Could anyone cna tell me how can I do this.
Your help will be highly appreciated.
Thanks,
Kumar

Hi Kumar,
Okay!
First of all letu2019s try to understand whether inspection points are really suitable for your requirement or not. Accordingly further errors can be eliminated. I just try to understand.
A- Using Inspection Points
1.     Inspection points are used when you inspect the same parameters again and again.
2.     When you click on results tab in QA32, system asks you put some identification number. Letu2019s say you put A1 and then press enter. Thereafter you record the actual results (LENGTH, WIDTH etc.) You save this without giving UD.
3.     For the next time when you again click on results for the same inspection lot, system again asks you to put identification number. This time suppose you put A2. Then again you record the results (LENGTH, WIDTH) for A2.
4.     Likewise you can retrieve the inspection results from system with respect to inspection point (identification point).
5.     Typically this can be used for chemical industries where you record the temperature of the same chemical after every ½ an hour. Here 10:00 am, 10:30 am can be used as identifications numbers. As a result of which you can get the information that at 10:00 am temperature was 40 Deg and at 10:30 am it was 75 degree Celsius.
If your requirement resembles this situation, then only the use of inspection points would be fruitful.
B- Without Inspection Points
But if you want to record the readings by various agencies like customer, umpire (refer following pattern)and want to compare them there are other ways.
1.     Reading by your inspector
a.     LENGTH u2013 100, 101, 102mm (average is 101mm)
b.     WIDTH     - 10.50, 10.50, 10.60mm (average is 31.6mm)
2.     Reading by customer
a.     LENGTH u2013 100, 101, 102mm (average is 101mm)
b.     WIDTH     - 10.50, 10.50, 10.60mm (average is 31.6mm)
3.     Reading by umpire
a.     LENGTH u2013 100, 101, 102mm (average is 101mm)
b.     WIDTH     - 10.50, 10.50, 10.60mm (average is 31.6mm)
You can achieve this without using inspection points also. For this in QP02 you need to create 3 operation; Inspector, Customer and umpire respectively. Feed the MICs in each of these operations. When you click on result tab system will throw pop up for these 3 operations. Double click on Umpire if you want to record results noted by umpire. Likewise for rest of the operations. You can do this even after UD also (after 1-2 months also). You need to use MIC with control indicator as long term characteristics for this in QS23.
Regarding averaging of results u2013 This can be achieved using single result recording MIC with or without inspection points. Use appropriate sampling procedure. When you feed results in QA32 system automaticaaly averages out the reading. This can be viewable against phi symbol.
Finally you did mention that u201Chere I am not getting the newly created inspection lotsu201D. Does that mean inspection lot (10 origin) has not created?

Anand Rao

How to do single usage decession for multiple inspection lots

we are clearing Usage decision each & every lot for which taking lot of time, if any setting for a GR Document number/Multi GR document nos connected lots to be cleared at a time automitically,

Hi,
In addition to Anupam's reply,
Follow the SPRO path for Auto UD---> Select your plant for AUTO UD settings -
> then go to InspLot completion tab where you need to define following time fields under Automatic Usage Decision tab page :
Delay time for skip lot (in Mins)
Waiting time (hrs) & Waiting time (Mins).
Waiting time is the time which must elapse after inspection lot creation after that only system will carry out automatic usage decision.
Save above settings.
Further as a master data part, you need to maintain tick in Automatic UD check box for the respective material for which you want activate automatic UD.
Hope this clears your doubt.
Revert if still any query.

For the Inspection lot status is CRTD instead of REL status

Dear Experts,
Today I have observed strange behavoir of the system.
For the Finished material 04 insp type, Every day we used to generate inspection lots automatically with MB31for 101 mov type.
generated inspection lot status will be REL bydefault. Today we observed system status is CRTD.
I have checked any material master/Inspection plan been change or not, but it was not changed.
Please suggest how this behavior happen suddenly.
Regards
Don

Dear Don,
Check in SPRO for inspection type configuration. Some body has changed the 'Task list usage' for Inspection type.
If you are using '1' and if there is other one except '1' then system will create inspection lot in CRTD status.
You need to change it manually in QA02 and assigne plan.
Thanks and Regards
Harriesh.
