Process Order creates Multiple Inspection for Same Batch

Hi Guys,

Expert opinion is needed to have this issue fixed.

Issue:When a new Process Order is created it automatically creates in storage location A.  There are times when a process order needs to be created into another storage location B.  When the Process Order is created and then is changed from A to B  it will  create two inspection lots for one batch, one for each storage location.  From the plant perspective they only need one Inspection lot as they will not create two set of samples for testing since it is the same batch it just went into a different storage location then it was originally created for.  Is there a way to change SAP  so that it only creates one Inspection lot per batch.

Control InspLot field in QM view for Insp Type 04 is X

We had different scenarios with same Batch

SCENARIO #1:  Sloc is changed to B prior to Release, in CRTD status of order Sloc was A

So there are 2 Insp. Lot created one for A & another for B after GR in Sloc B


SCENARIO #2:  Sloc is changed to B after  Release

IL is created after Release of order with Sloc A, after changing Sloc B in process order and performing GR, new IL is created for Sloc B


Business scenario is certain times of the year where one creates a PO with one Sloc and then it needs to be GR into a different Sloc.

They are generating a lot of IL’s that are not used and it seems like every year they need to get UD’s made on IL’s for finance to close out the year which is cumbersome.


Please suggest way out, objective is one process should have one IL per Batch irrespective of Sloc

Dear

As per my understanding what i know is you don't want new lot to be generate

when you trnasfer the material from 1stloc to other stloc

make the setting in OMJJ tcode for the particular mov type you are using for transfering

i.e deactivate so that it should not generated new lot whenever you transfer the material.

check and revertback

Thnx

There are several things that come to mind.

First and foremost, get the planning right so that the process orders are created properly the first time around.  This is a business issue.  Yes.. I don't know your business.. no, you really aren't all that different then the thousands of other businesses using SAP.  The root cause of this is you don't know what is going where when you order it or in the case of process orders, where you intend to make it or store it.  That's a basic planning problem.

2 - you must have early lot creation turned on, "Y".  You can't be using "X".  X would only create an 04 lot when you do the GR so if you change the storage location prior to the Process order being released I'm not sure how you are generating two lots.  Are you sure all the lots in question are 04 lots? Are you maybe seeing an 03 lot?  Or possibly an 08 lot?  Something doesn't sound right here.

3 - If you receive into two storage locations from one process order, you will get two inspection lots.  No way around this.  There is stock associated with these.  You could use customization to suppress the second receipt but that stock would go right to UR with no inspection.

4. Don't change the storage locations  in the process orders at all.  You can use the stock posting screen in the UD and change the storage location when you make the UD.

5.  Another option is to again, don't change the storage location in the PO but use QAC2 transaction to transfer the inspection lot into the proper storage location.

You need to explain your scenarios better cause I really don't see how you are getting the two lots when you make all your changes in the process order prior to releasing the process order.  That doesn't make any sense at all.

Hi,

Hope you are using Early Inspection Lot method with Inspection type 04.  We have an configuration option to restrict the IL generation while doing the movement by restrict the IL generation for GR(101 Mvt type).

You can test this method in DEV for any other impacts.

Enhancement QAAT0001 (Inspection determination)

-Function module EXIT_SAPLQAAT_002

-Check the batch number and activate no inspection if same batch exists in QALS.
