Inspection Object Types 

Definition

Inspection object types define the software component, process, and object in which you can create inspection documents in the Quality Inspection Engine (QIE).

...

       1.      In the case of an active inspection object type, the system looks for an inspection rule.

       2.      If the system finds an inspection rule, it creates an inspection document dependent on the inspection object type.

Use

Inspection Object Type Preliminary Inspection Inbound Delivery

●     If you activate an inbound delivery notification, the system automatically generates an inspection document for checking complete deliveries. The system requires an inspection rule for the current version of the inspection object type and warehouse number.

●     The system automatically releases the inspection document when creating it, so that it is already available when the goods physically arrive.

●     The system stores the inspection document as a reference document for the delivery header in the delivery. This document cannot contain samples or items.

Inspection Object Type Preliminary Inspection Handling Unit

●     You cannot schedule inspection documents for HUs in advance. You can only create them manually for the HU inspection using RF transaction /SCWM/RFUI.

●     For each delivery of a complete commercial truck (with multiple deliveries), you can classify all HUs as “good” or “incorrect”. When you have classified all the HUs, the system automatically creates the HU inspection document. In doing this, it generates one inspection document for each delivery and one item for each HU in this inspection document. You can also decide this directly for the “good” HUs. You then manually process the “bad” HUs in an additional process in the inspection document.

For the HU preliminary inspection, you cannot perform product inspections if you have selected Activation of Delivery or status In Yard.

●     Since you always create this inspection document manually, it makes sense to create only one inspection rule for the warehouse number and version of the inspection object.

Inspection Object Type Counting Inbound Delivery

●     The system creates this inspection document automatically, depending on Customizing for the inspection document creation within inbound delivery processing. The system releases it when it creates it. Counting is always a 100% inspection, since counting samples is irrational.

●     For counting and product inspections, the system checks the date/time of inspection document creation. If the date/time has been reached, Extended Warehouse Management (EWM) looks for an inspection rule and for any dynamic modification criteria that you may have defined.

●     Depending on the inspection rule it finds, the system changes the stock type and delivery item.

Inspection Object Type Q-Inspection Returns Delivery

●     Providing you have not already defined the usage of returns in SAP Customer Relationship Management (SAP CRM), the system call the inspection at the defined point in time, determines an inspection rule, and checks the dynamic modification rules.

For more information, see Customizing for EWM under Extended Warehouse Management ® Cross-Process Settings ® Quality Management ® Settings for Inspection Rules.

●     If relevant, the system generates an inspection document for the inspection rule. The inspection quantity is determined from the delivery quantity.

●     Inspection documents for HUs represent a special case. You generate the inspection document for these during the HU inspection, and only use the quantity of the HUs valuated as “good“.

●     If the inspection rule contains a sample-drawing instruction, the system generates corresponding samples for the inspection document.

●     The system releases the inspection document with the first goods receipt posting, and forwards it to an external system if required. The quality inspection can then start.

Inspection Object Type Q-Inspection Product/Batch Inbound Delivery

You cannot specify a usage for “standard” inbound deliveries. Inspection document creation works in the same way as for returns inbound delivery, if the preceding system has not defined a usage.

Inspection Object Type Q-Inspection Product/Batch Warehouse-Internal

●     You must create warehouse-internal product inspections manually.

●     You can either generate them using an RF environment or on the desktop.

●     You can create inspection documents for all products in a work center or HU, or restrict the inspection to a particular product.
