After Usage Decision: Sample Put Away

Following the quality inspection, you have made the usage decision in Quality Management (QM) to put away the sample along with the total inspection lot.

Prerequisites

At the time when you make the usage decision in QM, the total quantity of the received material for the inspection lot is still in the goods receipt area (GR area).

You have set the indicator Dyn. Bin material doc for the selected requirement type in the Customizing for Warehouse Management under Start of the navigation path Activities Next navigation step Transfers Next navigation step Define Requirements Types End of the navigation path , in order to set up the dynamic coordinate "material document number" in the goods receipt interface for processing the inspection lot.

Process Flow

  1. You post the goods receipt for the purchase order in Inventory Management (MM-IM).

  2. When the goods receipt is posted in MM-IM, a transfer requirement is created in the Warehouse Management system (WMS). The WMS creates a quant in the goods receipt interim storage area at the dynamic coordinate "material document number".

  3. The quant in the goods receipt interim storage area has stock category Q (quality inspection stock).

  4. The WMS notes the inspection lot number of the material in the quant information.

  5. You make a usage decision in QM.

  6. You release the total quantity of the inspection lot to the unrestricted-use stock.

  7. You make a posting change for the material in MM-IM from quality inspection stock to unrestricted-use stock.

  8. The WMS creates a posting change notice in the WMS and corresponding interim quants for the posting change. For more information, see Release from Quality Inspection Stock .

  9. You create the transfer order for the posting change notice in the WMS.

  10. The system changes the stock category of the material in the putaway TR and in the quant information from quality inspection stock ( Q ) to unrestricted-use stock (blank).

  11. The system finds the quants and transfer requirements that belong to the inspection lot on the basis of the inspection lot number in the goods receipt interim storage area.

    If you activate automatic transfer order creation for the relevant movement type, the system automatically creates a transfer order in the background for making the posting change for the material stock, on the basis of the usage decision.

    However, the system can only create the posting change TO in the background if you have set the indicator Frgrnd/bckgrnd for sample dialog box to D in the Customizing for Warehouse Management under Start of the navigation path Interfaces Next navigation step Define Quality Management End of the navigation path . By doing this, you specify that the system is to process the inspection sample dialog box in the background.

  12. You create a putaway transfer order based on the putaway transfer requirement. The WMS transfers the inspection lot number to the quant information.

Result

Following the quality inspection, and on the basis of the usage decision, you have made a posting change for the material to unrestricted-use stock and put it away into storage.
