Usage decision vs result recording.

Hi All Guru,
I am new in QM , was MM & PP support. I am confused here about the usage decision vs result recording.
I do understand in QM there's inspection lot , in order to release the inspection lot , i should released the UD.
So what's the different between this both ?
Can i have inspection lot without result recording ?
Or can i have inspection lot without UD ?
Please help to clarify my confuse.
Thank you

Hi Crag ,
Thanks for understand because i am totally new in QM.
I won't use QM for Notification here. I will use QM for stock transfer & QM in Delivery before PGI.
As i know the basic requirement of QM
Setup the Master Data (QM View & all QM relavant data) ---> Type of inspection (which will determine which type of inspection to carry out ) -----> Inspection Lot Configuration --->Configuration for UD ----> Configuration for COA.
Master data that which required
Material master QM view,
Master inspection characteristics,
Task lists or inspection plans
Code, Code groups and Selected sets.
Quality info-record
My Question :
By having the above setup and configuration , without result recording can i have the COA to print out for either Post Process Inspection (Final FG) or Inspection at Delivery ?
With the Master Data which i mention as above , is it sufficient for me to activate
Post Process Inspection (Final FG - QM PP)
QM Inspection at Delivery (QM /SD)
QM stock transfer with inspection type 08.
Hope to hear from you.
Thank you

Usage decision before results recording

Hi Sap Experts
I have a requirement from my client where in quality managment, they want to go for usage decision and then records the results. When they make up a usage decision, materials are dispatched out from the plant and by the time it is received by the customer, results are recorded and certificate is issued.
Can I use long term characteristics over here.
Plesae help me out.

Hi,
Yes you can use the long term characteristics but it is not recommended to do result recording once it is at clients place.
You can also check many others threads like this:

Timing of usage decision and results recording

Hi Gurus,
The business have different testings that require some time to get the results. They need to sell the products even before the results are out. So they need to UD the ilot even if the tests are not yet done. How can we record the results if the ilot is already done with UD and the product is already sold?
Thanks for the help.
Eva

Its not recommanded to do the Result recording after material is sold but still you can try to use the concept of "Long term Inspection "
While creating a MIC ,check a control indicator ,tick on "Long term Inspection "
This will allow you to do result recording after UD
In a long-term inspection:
There can already be a usage decision for the inspected material during the long-term inspection
You can still record inspection results for long-term characteristics, once you have made the usage decision
The system sets a separate status in the inspection lot to identify the long-term inspection and it provides special worklists and workflow tasks for this purpose

Partial quality inspection & partial usage decision?

Hello Friends
Inspection lot is created when GR is done against purchase order, in normal case result is recorded for whole lot and usage decision is made partially / fully.
Say business want to inspect (record result) only 50 pieces and want to do usage decision of 50 pieces immediately and again want to inspect (record result) another 50 pieces of same lot and want to do the usage decision u2026u2026u2026u2026how to do it?
As per my knowledge once inspection is done & usage decision is done system stops to inspect that lot again.
Looking for your valuable input as soon as possible.
Thanks & Regards
Swanad

hi
inspect (record result) only 50 pieces and want to do usage decision of 50 pieces immediately and again want to inspect (record result) another 50 pieces of same lot and want to do the usage decision
For result recording to be done for qunatity In control indicator of each char tick on long term Inspection.
This will allow you to do RR after UD has taken.
For UD to be done Partially means stock posting partially ...
You can create a UD code(AP) & in customization do not post it automatically.
Then You can only post 50 Qty initially with UD -AP
then for rest of the qty in QA32 select those lots with UD & stock post rest of the items when you carry out RR for rest of 50 .
This is the solution

Mass Uploading of Result Recording + Usage Decision.

Dear Gurus,
Are there any BAPI or BADI to Mass upload RESULT RECORDING(t code QE23) + USAGE DECISION(QA11) through an excel in the fore ground mode and back ground mode

RESULT RECORDING : BAPI_INSPCHAR_SETRESULT
UD: BAPI_INSPLOT_SETUSAGEDECISION

Relation between result recording and usage decision

Dear Gurus
While result recording for a lot, if any value comes less than or more than the limiting value the system is automatically valuating either rejected or accepted .. But this valuation is not getting reflected in the usage decision there I can give accepted code even though it is rejected in RR. If any expert can tell me how to configure and relate RR with UD
Regards
Sandip Sarkar

Hi
Sandip
As per SAP std there is no such a relation betweenRR & UD
but you can keep acheck that Result are recorded & what is valuation.
Use User Exit QEVA0010 UD: Usage decision check Logic will be check whether RR is done & all the char have status 5.
that means all char are valutated.Then Build a logic that as per acceeptence or rejection of char UD code must be get selected.
Suppose all char are rejected & you are taking UD as Accepted(A) then System should through Msg reading same.
I hope this will add some value.

Step for Result recording & usage decision

Hi ,
I have done the result recording for an inspection lot. the inspection type is IN-Process Inspection for which I have eb=ven taked thew UD. Now my doubt is how to do the inspection for GRfor production. i.e Inspection type 04.
Please explain.
Regards,
vivek

Hello Vivek,
The in process inspection '03' is ususally created when releasing the production order and is designed for inspections made during the manufacturing process.
The inspection type 04 can be triggered at two different time points:
either at release of the production order 'early 04 inspection'
or at GR from Production 'late 04 inspection'.
If you want to work with both 03 and 04 you have to use the late 04 inspection type, this offers you the follwing advantages:
You don't have to eventually correct the inspection lot size, and you avoid that there two parallel inspections.
The 04 inspection lot is designed for post production (final production) inspections and is stock relevant as opposed to the 03 inspection type that is not stock relevant.

QM-result recording after doing usage dcision and stock posting.

HI gurus,
My client is steel manufacturing industry.The requirement of client is that, after doing usage decision and stock posting they want to do result recording.Thy want it like this because in case of urgency they pass the material and afterward they do the result recording.Is such a scenario is possible in standard sap.If yes pls. provide me the solution.
Thanks in advance.

I wouls suggest you look at Jan's suggestion. Setting everything as LT characteristics is
1) not a good quality practice
2) you would still have to manually to the UD I believe, auto UD won't work. So if you have to manually process the lot anyway, you may as well just make the sotck posting and leave the lot open for results recording.

Record usages decision- inspection lot stock

hi gurus,
when i am using a record usages decision screen (QA11) after putting my inspection lot number it show me only two tabs Defects and charterstics it didn't show me an inspection lot stock tab.
Please suggest
Regards
Maashish

Hi Maashish,
I believe that your PO is for cost center.
when you will recieve the material using MIGO for This PO, then matieal stock/Value will be posted to Consumtion Account ( Stck will not posted to store) and GR/IR for Vendor.
In this case if Inpection lot generated, then using QA11/QA32 you can records quality information in Result & UD.
In this case Transfer posting 321/105 for material will not take place.you can input quality inforamation only.
Hope this piece of info. will help to resolve your query..

Quary Record usages decision

hi,
When i am accessing the record usages decision through QA11 and put an inspection lot number, it show me an "status check error" pop up error and when i click on detail information button on pop up it show me an an red signal influ CRTD Created, and when we check on display status show CRTD Created, PREQ Plan/specific. required, CHCR Characterist. must be created,
Please suggest how to resolve the issue
Regards,
Maashish

hi
Go to QA02 and give the Inspection Lot no and press enter.
In the new screen, select the tab "Inspection Specification/Task" and in that press the "Task List" button. Then you will receive a msg that Inspection Plan is attached to Inspection Lot.
You can go to the "Sampling" tab and click the "Sample" Button if you want to assign a sampling procedure & plan.
After that press save.
If no Inspection Plan is found,
1. Inspection Plan is not available. Check in QP03 for the material/plant combination the availability of plan. If not available, create it using QP01.
2. The date of creation of Plan is later that date of creation of Inspection Lot. In this case, in QA02 give the key date as before the date of creation of plan.
Now the status becomes REL.
Next, you can do the Result Recording (from QA32 screen or use QE51N)
Once all results are entered and saved, the status become INSP.
Now, do the Usage Decision (QA32 / QA11) and here give the acceptace code and post the stock into Unrestricted stock
hope it help

Dear vairavan,
You can check for the authorisation object.I can't remember that authoriation object right now.But surely you can restrict that with authorisation object.
Anyone knows the authoristaion object.

Serial Numbers in QA11 Record Usage Decision

Hi all,
We are using the serial numbers scenario in goods receipt. The user has to enter the serial numbers of the equipment/devices at the time of preparing goods receipt in MIGO_GR against a purchase order. An Inspection Lot is generated after posting the goods receipt. The has to prepare the GR approx 5000 nos. of material in each goods receipt.
Usage Decision has to be recorded for all these 5000 serial numbers in a particular inspection lot. Once we run the Tcode : QA11 and enter the quantity to be posted to blocked stock as 5000 and click on the save icon.
The system throw a screen for selection of serial numbers for which the usage decision is to be recorded. On this screen, all the 5000 serial numbers entered in the inspection lot should be available for selection. But the system sometimes shown only 5, sometimes it shows 2500, sometimes 1000 nos. for selection.
Please suggest if this might be due to some configuration problem or due to constraint of memory in the lock table in SM12. We are facing the same problem while processing the goods receipt for 5000 nos. through a BAPI.
Thanks in advance.
AJ

HI Anand,
Thanks for your immediate response. You have perfectly understood my problem. The following are the clarifications for your queries :-
Point No. 01 : We are posting the entire quantity (5000 nos.) to blocked stock. We enter 5000 in the To Blocked Stock field of Inspection Lot quantity Tab of the Inspection Lot. After entering the quantity we click on the Save button to post the Usage Decision. A pop of the serial numbers for select is given after clicking on the Save button. The serial number pop up is given if we try to process the usage decision for full quantity of 5000 nos. But sometimes if we put a smaller quantity say 20 nos. then the popup is not given and the usage decision is successfully posted for 20 nos. So the system behaves very randomly.
Point No. 02 : The serial numbers displayed for the selection is also random say sometimes 13/5000, 2500/5000, 0/5000.
Point No. 03 : I have checked the SER03 and OBJK tables and all the 5000 serial numbers are allocated to the material document.
We already have escalated to SAP, but do you feel there is some configuration issue for the same. Please give your valuable suggest.
Thanks in advance.
AJ
