How to Create Inspection Lots

If you use a quality management system, you can have your process inspected by generating an inspection lot for your process order. In this case, this inspection is known as a process accompanying inspection.

You can only create an inspection lot in a process order if:

The process order is not technically complete

The process order has no deletion flag or deletion indicator in the header

In the material master record of the material you want to produce, you must maintain the respective QM data. For this purpose

call the QM view
In flag the field Quality inspection and call function Inspection data
On the detail screen QM inspection data, enter an Inspection type (as a rule 03 for inspection in production) and a Quality score procedure. In addition, you must enter an x in field Act to activate the QM inspection for this inspection type and this material.

you have maintained QM data at operation/phase level (inspection characteristics) and for inspection point processing also at recipe header level in the master recipe that you have used to create the process order.

You can check the status of a process order in the status line of all process order header screens. You can also use menu options Order ® Functions ® Status.

Create manually

To manually create an inspection lot, proceed as follows:

In the master recipe go to the Operation overview and select the operations during which you want an inspection to take place.

Select Operation ® Quality data. In the section Check points in production, click on Offset change to change the type of check point. You must have Time-related flagged here. This means that your inspections will be carried out on a time-related basis.

In addition, enter the Time factor and the Time unit.

At operation level, in the Operation overview, you must set up at least one inspection characteristic for at least one operation or phase.

In the process order, you can generate an inspection lot by selecting Process order ® Functions ® Generate inspection lot. After you have created the inspection lot, your order receives status ILC (inspection lot created).

Create automatically

The system automatically generates an inspection lot for a process order when the first operation or phased in the order is released:

If the system manages to create an inspection lot, the system status ILCR (Inspection lot created) is set in the header of the process order.

If the inspection lot could not be created, the system status ILNC (Inspection lot not created) is set.

You can select and process all orders in which the generating of an inspection lot failed by using a selection profile and searching for all orders with the status ILNC
