Creation of Inspection Document 

Use

You can use this function to create inspection documents. In quality management (QM), you always use inspection documents to process checks.

If you want to check a certain quantity of a product, you must create an inspection document in the system. You can create inspection documents automatically or manually, and use them for various types of inspection processing. As soon as you have created an inspection document, you are able to check the objects, record check results or defects, and complete the check with results recording.

The system documents the processing status of an inspection document using the inspection document status.

 

You can also check returns.

●     In an external system, such as SAP Customer Relationship Management (SAP CRM), you define parameters that influence goods issue and quality inspection of returns in the warehouse.

Following the quality inspection, EWM sends the inspection results to SAP CRM. SAP CRM evaluates the inspection results.

●     You can use SAP CRM, for example, to control whether the returns are to be checked at all.

If you do not require returns to be checked, you can immediately initiate a logistical follow-up action, such as putaway or scrapping.

 

For more information about inspection documents in EWM, see the EWM documentation under Connection of Delivery Processing to Quality Management.

Integration

Depending on the requirements you have in place for generating inspection documents, you must also use delivery processing, warehouse order creation, and storage control.

For checks using an external system, you also need to have integrated this external system.

Prerequisites

You have executed Customizing for QM.

You have created the master data.

You have created scheduling steps.

You may have defined QM-specific master data.

You may have defined sample-drawing procedures.

Features

The system uses the given data and properties of the inspection object type to determine additional data, such as:

●     Sample size

●     Inspection settings

●     Documents from the inspection rule

●     Stock type for goods receipt

●     Stock relevance of any existing samples

Here, the system determines inspection settings and documents from the inspection rules that you have defined for the property values. If you have defined values for multiple properties, the system can also use multiple inspection rules.

For example, if you have defined an owner and a product, the system first uses the inspection rule that contains the owner and product. If it is unable to determine all the required arguments, it also uses the inspection rules that contain the owner only or product only.

This means that the hierarchy of properties determines the sequence in which the system looks for inspection rules. For more information about this, see Inspection Specification Inheritance.
