Inspection Lot Creation 

Purpose

In the Quality Management (QM) component, you process quality inspections on the basis of inspection lots. If you want to inspect a specific quantity of a material or a piece of equipment, an inspection lot must be created in the system. The documentation describes how inspection lots are created automatically or manually and how you use the inspection lots to process different types of inspections. Once an inspection lot has been created, you can inspect the goods, record the inspection results or defects, and complete the inspection with a usage decision.

Implementation Considerations

You should implement the Inspection Lot Creationcomponent if you want to create inspection lots in the system. You must also implement the following additional QM components to be able to plan, process, and complete the inspections:

·        Basic Data (QM-PT-BD)

·        Inspection Planning (QM-PT-IP)

·        Results Recording (QM-IM-RR)

·        Defects Recording (QM-IM-RR-DEF)

·        Inspection Lot Completion (QM-IM-UD)

Integration

You must also implement one or more of the following components in the logistics supply chain, depending on your requirements for inspection lot processing:

Component	You will need this component if you want to:
Materials Management (MM)	Manage materials and material stocks in the system and process inspections for goods movements
Production Planning and Control (PP)	Process inspections during production when production orders or process orders are released
Sales and Distribution (SD)	Process goods issue inspections when deliveries are created
Plant Maintenance (PM)	Process calibration inspections for equipment or functional locations when maintenance orders are released
