Use

When the system creates an inspection lot automatically, it must determine which inspection type to use. Depending on various system and Customizing settings, the system normally selects one of the following inspection types:

For inspection lot origins 01, 03, 10, 11, 12, 14, the system may select an inspection type other than one of the above. Special rules apply for these inspection lot origins (see "Features" below).

Prerequisites

To ensure that the system can select a default inspection type or preferred inspection type, make sure the following conditions have been met:

If you do not set the indicator for the preferred inspection type and several inspection types are active in the material master, the system uses the default inspection type.

If you set the indicator for the preferred inspection type, but the corresponding indicator for activating the inspection type is not set, the system uses the default inspection type.

Features

Special rules apply when the system determines the inspection type for the inspection lot origins listed in the following table:

Inspection lot origin

Determination of inspection type

01 - GR for purchase order
  • If QM in Procurement is not active or a status profile does not exist for the vendor/material combination in the quality info record, the system selects an inspection type in the following sequence:
    • Preferred inspection type in material master
    • If the indicator for the preferred inspection type is not set, the system selects the default inspection type
  • If QM in Procurement is active and a quality info record with a status profile exists, the system determines the inspection type on the basis of the status that follows the current status. If an inspection type is not assigned to the status during which the inspection lot was created, the system selects the default inspection type.
  • If a goods receipt is posted for an externally processed production operation, the system selects the inspection type stored in the operation of the order. You can store this inspection type in the respective operation of a routing.

03 - Production

With this lot origin, you must specify an order type when you create a production or process order. You can assign an inspection type to this order type in Customizing.

When the system creates an inspection lot automatically, it selects this inspection type if it is active in the inspection settings of the material master. If not, the system searches for an inspection type in the following sequence:

  • Preferred inspection type in material master
  • If the indicator for the preferred inspection type is not set, the system selects the default inspection type

10, 11, and 12 - Deliveries in SD

With these lot origins, you can assign an inspection type to the delivery category.

When the system creates an inspection lot automatically, it selects this inspection type if it is active in the inspection settings of the material master. If not, the system searches for an inspection type in the following sequence:

  • Preferred inspection type in the material master
  • If the indicator for the preferred inspection type is not set, the system selects the default inspection type

14 - Plant maintenance

With this lot origin, the system selects the inspection type that is assigned to the order type in Customizing for PM Orders and Service Orders.

Inspection types in customer enhancements

If the system finds an inspection type in a customer enhancement, this inspection type has priority over all others.

Exceptions - this does not apply:

  • To inspections for deliveries (lot origins 10, 11, and 12)
  • To source inspections
  • To recurring inspections (lot origin 09)
  • If an inspection type is specified in a status profile in a quality info record
