Archiving Inspection Lots (QM-IM)

Definition

Archiving object QM_CONTROL for archiving inspection lots in the Quality Management (QM) application component.

Use

When you archive inspection lots, the entire PGQ logical database (with the exception of the material documents) is archived.

Note Note

However, not all segments are written to the archive. The system only archives the inspection lot tables that are required to retrieve the logical database structure from the archive.

End of the note.

The system also archives long texts, change documents and status information for inspection lots and partial lots.

An inspection lot can only be archived if:

  • The inspection lot has been cancelled, or if a usage decision has been made.

  • If the last change to the usage decision was made before the retention duration.

  • All stock has been posted for a stock-relevant inspection lot.

  • If the inspection lot is not used in any of the following data records:

    • Production order header

    • Delivery note item

    • Transfer requirement item without a “delivery completed” indicator.

    • Quality level

Structure

When you use archiving object QM_CONTROL, you archive data from several tables. For information on how you can display the table names see Tables and Archiving Objects .

The following functions are available for QM_CONTROL :

Function

Activity

Report Program

Preprocessing

The preprocessing program marks the archive-capable inspection lots for archiving (by setting the status Lot blocked for archiving ). Marking the inspection lots in this way prepares them for archiving and also deletes the respective inspection lot number from the work list. After running the program, you can no longer change the inspection lots.

Archiving

The write program writes the database tables for the inspection lots that have been marked for archiving in the initial run to the archive.

RQRQAB10

Deletion

This program is described as a deletion program in Customizing and archive management. However, this task is not performed for the QM_CONTROL archiving object. The QM inspection setup data is deleted after postprocessing.

This program marks archived inspection lots as Archived and, also marks the archive file in archive management with the status Deletion completed. You must only start this program, if the archive file is not marked in this way.

RQRQAB20

Postprocessing

This program deletes the respective level of QM movement data from the system, depending on the retention period specified in Customizing.

RQRQLB00

Management

You can use this function to display previous archiving sessions.
