Stock posting of 08 inspection lot which is having status of LTCA

Hi Freinds,
I am having problem in posting the stock from Quality to unrestricted.
The details are as follows;
A stock transfer Inspection lot is created and by mistake given the UD as "Rejected" and cancelled the Inspection lot.
Later it has been realised and the UD code has been removed and left blank and Saved the UD screen.
The stock is in Quality and it has to be posted to Unrestricted.
If I go to transaction QA02 to "Reset the cancellation", it is greyed out and we are unable to do that.
We are unable to give UD also because the Inspection lot status is not allowing.
I have used transaction "MB11" with movement type 311, I am getting the error as "Stock posting only possible in QM".
Please let me know how to post the stock to Unrestricted.
Thanks
Giri

Hi Gajesh,
The problem is still continuing and we have implemented notes 48815 and 174877, however we could not able to solve the issue.
In the mean time we have asked SAP to get the solution.
The sequence of process followed by the user where in we have reached this situation;
1. A stock transfer Inspection lot(IL) is created (using MIGO, 322 movement type)
2. For this IL, they have gone to QA32 and given the UD as "R" and they didn't post the stock and SAVED the IL.
3. They went back once again to UD screen using QA32 and cancelled the IL and SAVED (Stock posting not done even now). At this point the IL status is LTCA
4. They went back once again to UD screen using QA32 and "Revoked" the UD and SAVED (Stock posting not done even now).
5. Now the stock cannot be posted and the lot cannot be revoked.
So we have asked SAP for help, I will keep you posted. In the mean time if you get any idea, please propose.
Thanks

System shud restrict stock posting of 04 inspection lot

Dear ALL,
Pain Area - whenevr Process order get release 03 inporcess inspection lot generates and after Process order get confrimed
O4 inspection lot generates , Evry time we use to process 04 Inpsection lot and then stock posted from Quality to Unrestrcted and finally , urestricted stock goes to market . NOw 03 inpsection lot remains in Created status , system not restriced for 04 activity i.e stock posting . So I want to restrict stock posting of 04 inspection lot if 03 inpsection lot doesnt have UD status .
please suggest .
Regards,
Prerna Verma

Do you want to put a hard error when UD is taken for O4 lots, if the corresponsding SF lot is not released? This will stop users releasing the 04 lots and personally I am not in favor of writing a piece of code in User exit at UD and stiop the release of a Finished Batch.
I have worked on similar requirement where users used to check manually the SF batch - UD prior to release a Finished Lot. to reduce the manual work and data transpose errors, we have used a calculated char. SF batch released? and assigned it in the finished product inspection paln.
We copied the standard FM - QEFC_FORMULA_CALC_EXAMPLE and written a logic to look the consumed SF batch is released or not .The Function Module is assigned to a Calculated Characteristic u2013 the user will then be able to Calculate the characteristic during Results Recording of a batch of Finished Product to determine the Release Status of the issued batch of Semi-Finished material, as opposed to having to look it up manually. We looked at the Q-score to decide a SF batch is released , rejected or UD not taken. The Function Module used the name of the Master Inspection Characteristic (MIC) and the Material Type of the Inspection Lot to determine the Inspection Lot Q-Score to return.
With this set up you will not issue a hard error at the time of UD for Finsihed batch at the same time users will know the SF batch status when the results were recorded for Finished batch.
If your requirement is a Hard error, simply go for the user exit suggested and write a logic to look for the Semi Finished Batch consumed.
Hope it helps.

Problem in BAPI for stock posting from quality inspection to unrestricted usage

Hi all,
I am using BAPI_GOODSMVT_CREATE for stock posting from quality inspection to unrestricted usage Stock against quality inspection lot(not by MB1B) using mvt type 321.The material doc gets created by the BAPI,but actual stock posting is not taking place ie.the stock doesn’t get reflected in QA33/32 and QA11 also .Can any one suggest what must be wrong?The inputs given are as follows:
GOODSMVT_HEADER:
PSTNG_DATE =30/07/2014, DOC_DATE = 30/07/2014, REF_DOC_NO = INSP LOT NO.
GOODSMVT_CODE:
GM_CODE: ‘04’ .
GOODSMVT_ITEM:

PLANT = PLANTCODE
STGE_LOC = ‘WIP’
BATCH = BATCHNO
MOVE_TYPE = ‘321’
ENTRY_QNT = 100
ENTRY_UOM = ‘EA’
ORDERID = Prd ord no.
After executing this I used BAPI_TRANSACTION_COMMIT also. I am able to see the posted qty in MMBE,but it is not reflecting in QA11/33/32.
Kindly help me.

Hi Naveen,
Thanks for the reply. Even after using FM QAVE_PROCESS_AUTO_UD,when i execute
BAPI_GOODSMVT_CREATE, the same thing is happening.I am unable to see the stock deducted in QA33.
Is there any input in the goods mvt bapi where we can provide inspection lot no since i believe that the goods mvt has to get connected with the inspection lot.

Stock posting during Recurring inspection.

Hello Folks,
We are currently in the process of implementing the Recurring inspection process for Batch managed materials. If a Batch of material is available in multiple Storage Locations (for example two), the Job 'Deadline Monitoring of Batches' triggers two transfer postings (to Restricted stock in respective storage locations) and two Inspection Lots.
When the Usage Decision is being taken for the Lot in the first Storage Location, it triggers the Stock Postings in both the Storage Locations from Restricted stock to Unrestricted (though the second inspection lot still has the status 'REL CALC SPRQ') and this stock is available for consumption in the second storage location as well.
Looks like we are missing something here - appreciate any inputs.
Thank you.
SK.

Unfortunately no. It has nothing to do with wether it is a user or a program like QA07 or UD. The indicator or restricited batch is simply a single "X" in the MCH1 table. (MCHA table if at plant level batch). So without a significant rewrite of the software, there isn't a way around it.
You have to look at it this way. If you had the same batch in two WH and one expired and was restricted, you'd want all the other portions of the material restrcited as well. In addition, once released, the entire batch is released.
I'm a bit confused in your case. You seem to indicate you are running the QA07 with the "Block batch" indicator and not the "inspection lot" indicator. But you refer to making a UD. If you are running with block batch in QA07 how are you creating the inspection lots?
If QA07 created the two inspection lots, you should be required to do two stock postings to clear both portions of stock out of QI. So you have me a bit confused when you say you have two lots and the system posts both to unrestricted.
Are you manually creating these? In that case, they are not stock relevant and making a UD to unrestricted can release the batch every where from either lot.
I get the feeling I missed a step in your process.

Backflush Semifinished product and stock post to quality inspection stock

Dear Experts,
Please advise is it possible for the below in SAP. How to do?
When backflush "Semifinished product", system automatically post to quality inspection stock. Then it is skip for 9 lots. The 11th lot again post to quality inspection stock.
1st backflush posting -> post to quality inspection stock
2nd until 10th backflush posting -> post to unrestricted stock (skip)
11th backflush posting -> post to quality inspection stock
Thanks.
Regards,
Wong

Dear Experts,
Let me further explain what I want.
Production people produce semifinished product, but quality inspection people not inspect all the product. For example they will inspect 1st and 11th batch of product only.
So I propose when backflush the semifinished product, system post the stock to quality inspection stock. Then production people know this batch of product need to be inspected and pass to quality inspection people. Once quality inspection people complete the inspection, they will release the material (UD) to unrestricted stock.
I have no idea on how to configure and maybe it is not possible in SAP. Please advise.
Question: Is it we should manually create inspection lot for each transaction (eg. backflush or material movement)?
Thanks in advance.

Wong

Stock posting from quality inspection to Unrestricted

Hi ,
User has approved the 1980 qty out of 2160 qty for a inspection lot in the transaction QA11 , now the 180 qty remains in quality inspection . plesase advise how can we move the 180 qty from QI to unrestricted stock.
Regards,
Amara

Hi,
Does the inspection lot has been created for the entire qty and only 1980 qty has been moved to unrestricted by QA decission?
If the lot still exists for remaining qty, do the same thing for the remaining qty and if not with a new lot.

Materials which are having status absolete..

Dear All,
Is it possible to hide/archive/remove materials from R/3 that are obsolete (status ZD or ZE) for all markets?
As the list of SKUs that are "visible" to Customer Services and Supply chain continues to grow so i want to archive or remove these materials.
If this is possible then please let me know would all history be lost from R3/BW reports etc??also let me know which process i have to go for....archiving or flag for deletion..and what will be the advantages and disadvantages in this case?
Thanks in advance,
Amit.

Hi,
When a material is no longer required in a company or plant, you can archive and delete the material master record.
You have to Flag the material master record for deletion. This is known as logical deletion.
Before a material master record can be archived and deleted, other objects (such as purchasing documents) that refer to this material must themselves be archived. You can see which objects these are and the dependencies between them in the network graphic.
If a material master record cannot be archived and deleted at a given organizational level, the reason is given in the log (for example, a purchase order exists for the material). The log also contains technical data such as the number of material master records read and the number deleted.
Some of the archive error log message :-
·     Costing data exists
·     Use in routing
·     Use in sales and distribution
·     Use in bill of material
·     Delivery exists
·     Costing data exists
·     Info record exists
·     Purchase order exists
The Archiving steps :-
Archiving object MM_MATNR for archiving material master records.
You can display the archived data, but not reload it.
To archive the material master, first goto transaction MM71.
Type in a variant name and click Maintain. (Tick the Test Mode for archive simulation).
Save the variant.
Maintain the Start date and Spool parameters and click execute.
Click Goto Job Overview to check the archive status.
To do a permanent delete, goto transaction SARA and click Delete button.
Maintain the Archive Selection, Start date and Spool parameters.
Click Test Session for testing or click execute to start the deletion program.
Click Goto Job Overview to check the delete status.
Now, if you goto MM02/MM03, you will not be able to find the record in the material master.
Best regards.

How to change the posting date in UD stock posting for a HU managed item?

Hi,
We are using Handling Unit managed items with QM activation. For a specific HU managed material, we wanted to post the stock on a previous date. We have created PO on a back date and made GR also on a back date. Now the problem is, the system has generated an inspection lot. Now while trying to do UD and stock posting, I do not see the "Doc" tab which we normally see in UD stock posting for normal inspection lots (non-HU managed items) for changing the date.
I don't see any other way to change the posting date for the HU managed item in UD stock posting. Anyone can help please?
Thanks & Regards,
Madhavan Krishnamoorthy.

I don't think you can.

QM/WM- LT05 Screen after QM stock posting

Hi
Is there anyway to trigger the LT05 screen appearing after a stock posting in the inspection lot ? We have it working when doing a partial UD using the follow-on action, but when we want to just pre-release part of the inspection lot we can't get the 321 movement from within QM to trigger this screen appearing.
Any ideas ? Or do we need to do this via a user exit?
thanks in advance.
Al

Well, i thought about your suggestion too. It seems a good alternative. Another option is during GR in quality inspection stock to create a TO towards a workcenter. But, like the sample bin solution you suggest, i still have no physical transfer of the sample quantity to the other storage location.
The reason my client wants this is to have better insight in what stock is physically in which storage location. The storage location where the materials are tested is physically 100 km from the central warehouse. So the sample has to be shipped from the central warehouse (WM managed) towards the warehouse where they test the samples.
As you describe we can put the sample in the storage bin in Q stock and wait for them to be approved and the post them to unrestriced use stock by the user decision. But still the physical transfer is not solved in my opinion. What am i missing?
We have other non WM managed storage locations too which we supply from the central (WM) managed warehouse with materials (via MRP run). The (UB) purchase reqs result in a (UB) purchase order, then we convert them into a (NL) delivery with VL10B and create a shipment and a pick (transfer) order and ship them from the WM stor loc to the other non WM stor locs.

High number of HU's in Inspection Lot

Hi All,
I have the following issue at my client that was brought to out attention by SAP but with no resolution!!
We are implementing HUM and already have QM implemented.
When we create inspection lots for production the inspection lot will contain up to 6000 low level HU's. these may be nested in around 20 top Level HU's but the inspection lot will show the lowest level which is what we want, so no issues here, yet....
The issue is that when we perform the UD and make the stock posting from the inspection lot for the HU's, SAP cannot handle this volume of HU's.
SAP have stated that the system cannot handle more than 200 - 500 HU's.
I suspect the issue is with teh transfer posting and not the UD as we need to change the stock status of 6000 HU's (6000 lines).
Has anyone come across such an issue before and if so is there a solution?????
Thanks
Stuart

Keep-alive is probably disabled on the front-end of Web Cache, either explicitly through the config or maybe because the origin server responses have no content-length header. This would force the cache to have to open a new connection for each peer request.
You can consider modifiying the app to set the content-length or change the tcp_time_wait_interval (depending on the operating system) of both the Web Cache servers and the app servers.

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

Inspection Lot with Zero stock posting qty

Dear QM Consultants,
We have come across following scenario,
1.     Repetitive manufacturing
2.     Material has inspection type 04 and Z04. Preferred inspection type is not ticked. Z04 inspection type has been assigned to inspection lot 04.
3.     Production GR done by 131 movement
4.     Inspection lot generated with reference to 131 movement type. Lot for inspection type 04 is created.
5.     Inspection lot qty in QA32 it shows correctly as that of GR qty.
6.     But when we click on UD, in stock posting tab, qty to be posted it shows as ZERO. So no qty is available for stock posting.
Has anybody came across such scenario? Is this any bug? Any SAP note for this?
Best Regards,
Anand Rao

Dear Sujit, Thanks for so prompt reply,
Basically this is a complex case,
1.     See we have set Posting Proposal in Usage Decision as u2018To unrestricted useu2019 in selected sets for usage decision. That means we need not every time go to stock posting tab. The moment we select ACC UD code it automatically posts the stock to unrestricted use.
2.     Now, what has happed, by 131 movement declaration, backflush happened with 261 movement for child parts.
3.     Inspection lots with inspection type 04 were created. (Here we did not note whether the stock was posted in quality inspection or in unrestricted use)
4.     Now the requirement is to cancel 131 movement document. Kindly note UD were not given up to this moment.
5.     Now through MFBF, user did document specific reversal. As a result of which and as per my knowledge 132 movement should happen and 262 should also happen. At the same time inspection lot status should be set to LTCA. But in actual case 132 movement happened and 262 did not. Surprisingly inspection lot did not set to LTCA status. It remained in REL mode only.
6.     After this document specific reversal, user gave UD to these inspection lots without noticing where the stock was lying.(in unrestricted or in quality inspection). So the lot status set to UD   ICCO SPCO STUP after giving usage decision.
7.     Now while doing reverse engineering that why 262 movement did not happen, we came to know that no 321 movement happened for the inspection lots which were generated with reference 131 movement document
8.     Also, qty to be posted it shows ZERO as explained in my earlier post.
9.     When we display 132 movement document through MIGO, in where tab it shows stock type as Quality inspection. That means stock was lifted from QI for 132 movement.
In short it cannot be predicted where the stock was actually posted whether in QI or in unrestricted use. But yes the post to inspection stock tick has been ticked in material master.
Can you help further in this regard?
Best Regards
Anand Rao

Inspection Lot Stock: Post to GR blocked stock

Hi Experts,
During the IQC process (inspection type 01), first I use the 103 to post the stock to GR Block stock (100 pcs), then after the Usage Decision, I post the stock 80 to unrestricted use stock, 20 remain in the GR blocked stock.
So, the 20 stay in the GR Blocked stock, and what can I deal with them? Manually create a inspection lot?

Dear KK,
The GR Blocked stock could be released to unrestricted stock by the 105 type while doing the usage decision.
However, in this occassion, this 20 is remained in the GR blocked stock by using the "GR blocked stock" field in the Inspection Lot Stock tab of the QA14.

SAP QM - Inspection Lot Stock tab missing in QA11

Hi,
My scenario is raw material inspection and I executed the scenario as follows
Step 1 : Assigned 01 inspect type to the material in QM view .
Step 2 : Created three MIC's
Step 3 : Created Sampling procedure
Step 4 : Created inspection plan for material by assigning MIC's & Sampling procedure to operation.
Step 5 : Goods receipt of 100 Qty for the material through purchase order.
Step 6 : Created Inspection lot for material.
Step 7 : Inspection lot selection for material and recorded the results.Then valuated the results and i reject 2 out of 3.
Now I have to post the some qty to unrestricted use & some qty to vendor i.e return delivery. To do the same, inspection lot stock tab is missing in QA11.
Pls suggest if I missed any thing in this process.
Thanks in advance.
With Regards
Srinivas

Hello NiTiN J,
I will clear the confusion.
As I described the scenario in my first post, I have created inspection lot manually (QA01), then selected the same using QA32, here I had recorded the results & UD also. When I check in MMBE for unrestricted use stock, it is still showing under QI only. Then I identified that Inspection lot stock was missing. So, I started posting in SCN (After searching).
Mean while in the discussions I thought that, I completed RR & UD for the material. Now if any suggestions from expects won't applicable for my query. So, after Craig's recent discussion, for the same material once again I have done the GR through purchase order and created inspection lot manually.
Now I found inspection lot (1st) through Material Document(i.e. MB51 as suggested by Mr.Craig)
In QA32 (2nd) inspection lot, which is created manually.
Now I have two inspection lots for the same material and I have not recorded the results nor UD for these lots. Just created and waiting for suggestions.
And for 1st inspection lot , I tried to do results recording using QA11 also. But system through's error as shown in screenshot.
I think I cleared the confusion.
Pls correct me if I am wrong or missed anything.
With Regards
Srinivas
