Sending the Inspection Setup Directly

Use

You use this procedure to manually trigger the distribution of newly created inspection setup data.

Prerequisites

You must have made the relevant settings in Customizing.

Procedure

Choose Tools ® ALE ® Master data ® Logistics ® Quality Management ® Inspection Setup ® Send.

On the initial screen, enter the materials, whose inspection setup (inspection types) you want to send.

You can limit the selection further, by entering the plant.

Enter the logical target system, if you do not want the target system(s) to be taken from the distribution model (in Customizing).

You can enter any target system that is maintained as a logical system. If you did not enter a system, the data is sent to the target system that was entered in the distribution model.

In the Inspection type or placeholder field, enter the inspection type that is to be deleted for the material-plant combination you have entered, if this inspection type already exists in the target system.

You can delete generically by using placeholders (* or +). The entry is transferred to the target system unchecked, since it is not possible to check against the inspection types in the target system.

Choose Execute.

The system loads the selected data from the database of the source system and writes it to one or more IDocs.

One IDoc is created for each material and plant. This means that an IDoc can contain several data segments, if several inspection types are available for a material-plant combination, or if an inspection type to be deleted or placeholder was entered. If there are several materials, then several IDocs are created.

In the target system, choose Tools ® ALE ® Administration ® Services ® Manually process IDocs.
From the list, select the IDocs to be transferred and choose Process.

You can automate the processing. This means that the posting of the IDocs takes place immediately and does not have to be triggered manually.

Enter the IDoc number in the target system and choose Execute again.

Result

After running various checks, the system writes the inspection setup to the application tables in the target system.

If an error occurs during one of the checks, it is documented in the ALE tool. If errors occur, the processing is cancelled and the data is not saved in the target system.

In the target system, a message list is created in ALE services that shows the status of the posted IDocs (and of those that have not been posted because they contained errors), as well as the short text for the error message (if required).
