If you want to continue with the process Acceptance Inspection after completing this process, use material QS8X60 instead of material QS6X60.
Prerequisites
This process does not require any data from other processes.
We recommend that you go through the simplified process QM in Procurement and Inventory Management, before running this more complex process.
Process Flow
You can find the data for this process under
.You get to know the control functions that are used to link Purchasing and QM during the indirect procurement of manufacturer parts from distributors.
You send a purchase order to the vendor, who is also the distributor in this scenario. You refer to the manufacturer part number. The purchase order message specifies the following for the inventory-managed material: Valid technical delivery termsThe quality assurance agreement for the supply relationshipA note concerning the requirement to include a quality certificate with the delivery
Creating a Purchase Order and Displaying a MessageWhen the delivery arrives, you post the goods receipt of the inventory-managed material (the manufacturer part number has no significance in Inventory Management). The system generates an inspection lot and determines the sample.
Posting the Goods ReceiptIn addition to the vendor (distributor) and inventory-managed material, the inspection lot data record also refers to the manufacturer and the manufacturer part number. You accept the inspection lot and make the usage decision.
If you intend to continue with the acceptance inspection process, do not make a usage decision.
