Quality Inspection in the Production Process 

• In the material master record for the finished product, you must set the indicator for quality inspection in the Quality Management view. Moreover, in the QM inspection data, you must also select and activate an inspection type with the origin 13 (repetitive manufacturing).

• You must select a repetitive manufacturing profile in the material master record of the finished product.
• You must create a production version and a product cost collector.
• In the routing for the finished product, you must maintain characteristics for the operation for which inspection results are to be created. (Starting from the operation overview, choose Goto ® Characteristics overview.)
• You can also use the control key to flag operations in the routing as milestone operations. In this case, the repetitive manufacturing profile must also allow reporting point backflushing. You must also maintain characteristics for these operations.

If all the prerequisites are fulfilled and you have created the production versions, create the inspection lots (see Creating Inspection Lots). Later, the inspection results are saved in this inspection lot.

You create the inspection result for the inspection lot in Quality Management. If the material has a repetitive manufacturing profile that allows reporting point backflushing then you can use the function, Reporting point in repetitive manufacturing to branch to the reporting point backflush when creating the inspection result for the inspection point. The inspection lot quantity created for the inspection point is copied to the reporting point backflush and is proposed here as the backflush quantity.

For more information on maintaining characteristics and on creating results for the reporting point, please refer to the SAP document entitled QM Quality Management.
