Quality Management of Handling Units 

Purpose

Handling Units are individually packaged partial quantities The Handling Units (HUs) undergo a quality inspection. When you are making the usage decision, you can perform an individual stock posting for each HU.

Process Flow

You can find the data for this process under .

  1. Creating a Purchase Order

    2. You create a purchase order. When creating this purchase order, you specify that the goods are to go through an inbound delivery process during which partial quantities will be formed. These partial quantities will then be individually packaged and placed in storage in a special storage location.

  2. Creating the Inbound Delivery

    3. At inbound delivery, you create individually packaged HUs. As you do this, the system generates an inspection lot for all HUs. After inbound delivery, you can begin with the quality inspection and enter the results of the inspection.

  3. Posting a Goods Receipt

    4. You post the goods receipt to the warehouse. During the receiving inspection, the goods have the status "in quality inspection", which means that it is restricted-use stock.

  4. Performing the Inspection

    5. For each HU, the system created a sample data record and printed a label for the bar code reader when the HUs were packaged. You can display the relevant data and print other shop papers, such as inspection instructions. It is possible to skip this step.

  5. Entering Inspection Results

    6. You inspect the HUs individually to check that the labels are in good condition. You can also skip this step if you do not wish to record inspection results.

  6. Making the Usage Decision

You post the inspection lot quantity to the appropriate stock. HUs with good inspection results to unrestricted-use stock and HUs with a poor inspection result to blocked stock.
