QM: Enhancements in the Usage Decision Functionality for Release 3.0E

Description

In Release 3.0E, you can use the following enhancements in the usage decision functionality:

As of Release 3.0E, the log texts for the transfer of inspection results to the batch classification are included in the general log for the usage decision. The log texts for the stock postings and follow-up actions are also contained in this general log.
With the help of user exit QEVA0007, you can predocument the long text for the usage decision and control whether or not the long text editor will be displayed. You can also use this user exit to enable or suppress the 'mandatory comment' requirement when you make the usage decision.
The return posting to a vendor has been enhanced; the function is now referred to as a 'Return delivery (general)'.
In the past, return deliveries could only be carried out for goods receipt lots referenced to a purchase order (origin 01). Now, with the capability of being able to select an appropriate purchase order, you can carry out a return delivery for inspection lots with origins 05 (misc. goods receipts) and 08 (stock transfer). You can also process a return delivery with reference to a production order for lots with origin 04 (goods receipt from production).
When you make the usage decision, the system now explicitly identifies the characteristics whose inspection results are not within the batch specifications.
User exit QEVA0008 allows you to revoke (reset) the usage decision, because in some cases it may be necessary to change the inspection results after you make the usage decision.
A sample coding is contained in the user exit.
When you make a stock transfer within the usage decision functionality, you can now create new batches.
If the batch status management function is active, you can also define the new batch status.
