Acceptance Inspection (Detailed) 

Purpose

This process describes the planning and processing of quality inspections. You learn about the following aspects of a quality inspection:

We recommend that you go through the simplified process for the acceptance inspection, before running this detailed version.

Prerequisites

This process does not require any data from other processes. It is a more detailed version of the QM in Procurement and inventory management process. You can perform this process instead of the partial process Performing an Acceptance Inspection by using material QS8X40 or QS8X60 instead of materials QS6X20 or QS6X60.

Process Flow

You can find the data for this process under .

  1. Creating an Inspection Lot

    2. You create an inspection lot on the basis of which you perform the acceptance inspection. You can skip this step if you are using the process as an enhancement of the QM in Procurement and Inventory Management process. In this case, you have already created an inspection lot for material QSXxx but have not made a usage decision.

  2. Displaying an Inspection Lot

    3. You display the inspection lot. You can now see the content of the inspection lot data record. You can also see that you can process inspection lots dependent on material in different ways using the control mechanism of the inspection type.

  3. Insight into Inspection Planning

    4. If you want an insight into the structure of the inspection plan and how it interacts with the material specification, choose the following steps from the inspection lot display: Displaying an Inspection Plan and Displaying the Material Specification.

  4. Printing Shop Papers

    5. You print a sample-drawing instruction and an inspection instruction for the inspector as shop papers.

  5. Entering Inspection Results

    6. When you have performed the inspection based on the shop papers, enter the results of the quality inspection for all operations and inspection characteristics. You can still add other inspection characteristics. If inspection characteristics are rejected, the system automatically creates defect data records in the background. You can also enter the time required for the mechanical inspection.

  6. Usage Decision

    7. You enter the defect data and the time required for the visual inspection. You create an overview of the appraisal costs up to this point. You then make the usage decision.

  7. Displaying the Quality Level

The system determines inspection stages for the next inspection lot on the basis of the inspection results.
