Inspection Decision 

Use

You use this function to make a decision to accept or reject the object being inspected. The inspection decision contains the results recording and follow-up action recording, and the inspection completion.

●      For inspection documents of the inspection object type Preliminary Inspection Inbound Delivery, the result is the acceptance or rejection of the delivery.

●      For inspection documents for HUs, you decide whether the contents of the HU are now to go through a standard goods receipt process, or whether you post them to blocked stock.

●      For product inspection documents, the result can be an acceptance, return delivery, stock transfer or scrapping.

You complete the inspection by making the usage decision.

Recording Findings

In the finding, you record and process inspection results for samples, stock, or the inspection document.

The recorded inspection results document the checked quality of a product and therefore form the basis for batch specifications. The recorded results data enables you to perform evaluations, and is therefore decisive for the follow-up actions.

To record findings, you can use standard functions for the following:

●      Assign a defect to a stock, sampler, or inspection document

●      Record effort for correcting the defect

Inspection Completion

After recording the results and completing the inspection, you must make a decision regarding the usage of the checked goods. You can choose between the following options:

●      You enter a decision code

●      You define follow-up actions, such as stock posting for inspection stock (for example, for freely usable stock, blocked stock, or scrap), for the inspection document, the sample, or stock.

When you make an inspection decision for the inspection document, the system then does the following:

●      It determines a quality score for the inspection lot.

●      It updates the quality level (inspection stages for the next inspection lot).

●      It may trigger an automatic follow-up action.

Usage Decision

When you make the usage decision, you define whether you are accepting or rejecting the goods based on the inspection results. While you are making the usage decision, you can also record defects or perform stock posting.

Activities

If you want to define your own results and follow-up actions, proceed as follows:

...

       1.      Record the defects and efforts in a defect catalog. To do this, in Customizing for EWM choose Cross-Process Settings ® Quality Management ® Maintain Defect.

       2.      Connect the defect catalog of the consumer system to the QIE using the classes stored in the ABAP Workbench, along with their methods. In Customizing, choose Cross-Application Components ® Quality Inspection Engine ® Define Catalogs.

Prerequisites
