Transfer of Production Order with Quality Inspection Lot

This function enables the transfer of production order data with quality inspection lot from SAP ERP to SAP ME to create or update the corresponding Production shop order with quality inspection information in SAP ME (see Shop Order and DC Group).

Prerequisites

  Note
  If the Summ. recording for n=1 checkbox is selected, the error message appears in SAPMEINT and the Production shop order is not created.
  
  End of the note.

You have assigned and activated Inspection Type 03 (in-process inspection for production order) for the material on the Quality Management View of transaction MM01 or MM02.
You have assigned inspection characteristics to relevant operations of the routing (transaction CA01 or CA02) as follows:
- Choose Operation Inspection Characteristic Overview .

  - In Type, do the following:
    
    Select Lower Spec Limit.
    Select Upper Spec Limit.
    Select Target Value (optional).
  - In Sample, select Sampling procedure.
  - In Results confirmation, do the following:

For non-100% quality inspection, you have selected a non-manual Valuation Mode in the Sampling Procedure for a characteristic (transaction QDV1). This allows SAP ERP to automatically send the valuation to WIP in SAP ME at the quality inspection operation.
You have set up ALE communication to create and transmit LOIPRO02 and LOIPRO03 IDocs (see Customizing for ALE for Communication with SAP ME).
You have defined a DRF model to replicate LOIPRO02 or LOIPRO03 IDocs (in Customizing for Production, choose Integration with a Manufacturing Execution System Basic Settings for MES Integration ). For information about SAP ERP versions supporting DRF, see SAP Note 1793291.

Activities

In SAP ERP, you create a routing and assign one or more inspection characteristics to one or more operations.
You create a production order (transaction CO01) or update a production order (transaction CO02) using the created routing.
An inspection lot of inspection origin 03 is automatically created and assigned to the production order on release.
When the production order is sent to SAP ME, SAPMEINT creates the following records in SAP ME:
- Production shop order with quality inspection data (see QM Inspection in Shop Order Maintenance)
- Routing with operations. The last reporting step has Block SFCs Until Inspection Finished selected (see Routing Step Properties)
- One or more DC groups attached to the shop order, routing and routing steps (see Data Collection Maintenance)
