You can create partial lots of material manufactured in a process order using the functionality of the Quality Management (QM) application component. You may want to do this if you produce separate individual quantities of the material in a process order, due to the fact that you, for example:

• Manufacture the material simultaneously using different resources
• Manufacture the material at different times using the same resource

The Quality Management (QM) application component has been installed in your system.

To inspect partial lots, you must assign inspection characteristics to your operations in the master recipe or process order. You must then link the master inspection characteristics to general characteristics that you used to classify your material.

If your material is to be handled in batches, you can assign individual batch numbers to the partial lots when you record results in QM.

For more information, see Master Inspection Characteristics in the Quality Planning (QM-QP) component.
