Shelf Life Capturing

Question

Hi all,
Please find the scenario below....
My client stores a Raw Material (in Kgs) in COLD Storage, which they use it for Discrete Manufacturing. This Raw material has its own Shelf Life.
When ever they take it out for Production, they want Quality Inspection to be done. The point is, they will not take out the exact qty required for Production. While returing the remaining Qty to Cold Storage, they want to carry out Inspection again.
Also, they want the system to dynamically monitor the percentage of loss in Shelf life due to the Temperature difference (for the remaining Material). So that when the shelf life nears the Expiry date, they want to do the Inspection and consume as much as possible.
Please guide me as I am new to QM.
Thnx in advance
Sam

Answer 1

Hi Sam,
As truly said by Jan, You should the inspection type 08 - Stock transfer inspection. (If it don't work pls revert)
For the Second requirement.
It is not possible to monitor the loss of Shelf Life in percentage. But you can define it this way.
BY IMPLEMENTING THE RECURRING INSPECTION CYCLE FUNCTIONALITY OF QM
- You need to define a land mark for the recurring inspection in days for each material. E.g. 10days. Define this value 10 in the Material master, QM view, field is "Inspection interval".
- Activate the inspection type 09 - Recurring inspection of batches.
- Now schedule a background job that triggers the recurring inspection lots with inspection type 09.
- To define the background job follow the below mentioned steps
* Run Trx QA05, Click on Create vriant.
    * Name the Variant, Click on the CREATE
    * Select Full Screen,
    * Now system will lead you to the same screen as QA07. Here Assign the values as per your requirement.
E.g. If you are planning a job for a specific plant then enter the plant.
Enter the initial run in days should be that value that system picks as radius to select the batches.E.g. if you enter 10 as run in days, so where ever the program "RQAAAS10" will run, it will post those batches in Quality for which the the next inspection date falls in the orbit of next 10 days.
Select the Radio button "To Inspection Stock at Lot Creation"
By selecting this radio button.... If you choose this option, batches whose next inspection date lies within the opening period, are posted from the unrestricted-use stock to the inspection stock. At this transfer posting, a new inspection lot is created for each storage location. If a corresponding inspection lot already exists and if the next inspection date is reached, the transfer posting is also carried out and the existing inspection lot is changed accordingly.
Now go back and selecte option yes to the message populate having text as "Leave value maintenance: Save values?"
Then name your variant logically, set the appropriate values for variant, if required.
Save.
Now It you will be back in QA05, where you will be able to see the Variant you have just created.
So now click on the SCHEDULE button and schedule it for periodically.
Now what system will do is it will create an inspection lot according to your Job, and the stock will fall in quality according to their next inspection date.
Now complete the inspection lot processing, while you will perform UD, system will set the next inspection for Batch, form the date of UD + the value there in the "Inspection interval" of QM view.
And for next time onwards it will generate the 09 inspection lot at the new next inspection date for that batch.
Above all was about to meet the
they want to do the Inspection
only now to
consume as much as possible.
You must define the batch determination strategy and batch determination rule accordingly. It is define in COB1,MBC1 And for Rule CO70.
