Inspection for a Goods Issue
Purpose
The system can automatically create an inspection lot when a goods issue is posted in the system. A goods issue can be posted internally (for example, a material withdrawal from the warehouse) or to an external destination (for example, a goods issue to a customer). In a goods issue, the materials are usually withdrawn from unrestricted-use stock and posted to a cost center, project, customer, or other account assignment object. When the system creates an inspection lot for a goods issue, the inspection lot is not stock relevant.
Prerequisites
The system creates an inspection lot automatically for a goods issue if the following conditions have been met:
- In Customizing for Inspection Lot Creation (Inspection for a Goods Movement) QM is active for the movement type.
- QM is active for the material. This means that in the inspection settings of the material master:
- In Customizing for Inspection Lot Creation (Inspection for a Goods Movement) QM is active for the movement type.
- An inspection type is active for inspection lot origin 02 (goods issue)
- The other indicators for the inspection type are set appropriately to meet your requirements for inspection processing (for more information, see
Processing Inspection Settings)
Process Flow
The system creates an inspection lot automatically when the goods issue is posted in Materials Management (MM).
- If the inspector will record results for inspection characteristics (controlled by the inspection settings in the material master), the system assigns an inspection specification (for example, a task list or material specification) to the inspection lot. If the system cannot find a specification or if more than one inspection specification is assigned to the material, you must assign a specification to the inspection lot manually.
- If dynamic modification criteria are defined for the inspection lot origin or task list usage, the system checks the existing quality level for the material (and the other criteria, if applicable):
- If a quality level is not available, the system creates one.
- If the dynamic modification rule specifies that the quality level must be updated when the usage decision is made, the system does not update the quality level now.
- If the dynamic modification rule specifies that the quality level must be updated when an inspection lot is created, the system updates the quality level now.
- The system calculates the sample size.
If the sample calculation must be triggered manually (controlled by the inspection settings in the material master), you must call up the inspection lot in the change mode and choose the function to trigger the sample calculation manually.
- If you are going to inspect the goods in the inspection lot using an inspection specification:
- The system can print out the inspection instruction and/or sample-drawing instruction automatically when the inspection lot is created
- You can print out the inspection instruction and/or sample-drawing instruction manually when you call up the inspection lot in the change mode
Result
You can use the information in the sample-drawing instruction and inspection instruction as a guide to:
- Draw and prepare the samples at the work centers specified for each operation
- Inspect the goods in the inspection lot
- Record characteristic results and/or defects
When you have finished recording inspection results and/or defects, you can complete the inspection.
Result
When you have finished recording inspection results and/or defects, you can complete the inspection.
