 Goods Receipt Posting via Quality Management Locate this document in the navigation structure

Use

If an inspection is carried out during production using inspection points, you may have to post individual goods receipts for the inspection points based on their respective inspection results.

If you use inspection points, the system does not post PI_PROD messages directly to inventory management but sends them to QM in the following cases:

  • In the master recipe, you have defined an assignment of partial lots or batches in QM (see QM data for the recipe header, Partial-lot assign. field)

  • In the master recipe, you have defined the recording of an inspection point quantity in QM (see QM data for operation/phase, Insp.pointCompletion field)

The system proposes the reported quantity as the yield for the inspection point during results recording in QM.

You can manually post the goods receipt after you have finished inspection processing. This enables you to take into account the partial lots assigned to your inspection points as well as the assigned batches if your materials are subject to batch management.

Features

In QM, the message data is processed in the following way:

Operation Number and Phase Number

The message can only be assigned to an inspection point, if it contains at least one of these numbers. If a message contains neither the operation nor the phase number:

  • The system writes a corresponding error message to the message log

  • The system sets the process message status Destination error

If a message contains both the number of the phase and that of the superior operation and the material is assigned to both, the goods receipt is posted for the phase.

Material Quantity

The system proposes the reported material quantity as the yield for the inspection point during results recording. If more than one PI_PROD messages has been created for an operation or phase, the system adds the quantities and proposes the sum for the next inspection point.

During goods issue in inventory management, the system later proposes the sum of the inspection point quantities for whose operation or phase the last partial lot assignment has been defined in the master recipe (see Last p. lot assign. indicator in the QM data for the operation/phase).

Batch Number

If an inspection is carried out for a material that is subject to batch management, the batch number is assigned in QM according to the inspection results. For this reason, any batch number contained in a PI_PROD message for this material is ignored.
