using QI06

[Former Member]

Hi,

    Has anyone used QI06 successfully to create QIRs from PIRs?  I am trying to run the report an selected the "only from purchase info records" checkbox on the initial screen. The report runs but does not create any QIRs.

Also if anyone has used it successfully, then how do we also set variants on the initial screen ? Cos we could be having spare parts and MROs which we dont inspect and which dont need a QIR instead of having a PIR. This tcode seems to be a all or nothing tcode.

Thanks

QM procurement activation in material master is pre-required.

can u elaborate further? My QM procurement checkbox is selected. Right now when I run the report everything shows as yellow. My selection is I check only the "purchasing info record" checkbox on the initial screen.

Hi GS,

I can suggest you you should give below inputs to run this program.

1. Plant Code
2. Only for Purchasing Info Records - Tick on this checkbox
3. Release until date - As per your need

Then execute. It will show only those records for which purchase infor records have been created in MM module. Select all these records and save.It will create QM infor records in background for the entries those were displayed earlier.

If you have the list of  material codes for which you don't want to create QIRs (despite these being the part of PIRs) then you can copy such list and add this as exclusion in materials multiple selection in QI06. These materials will not be considered.

For variant creation -

1. After specifying the required inputs (with exclusions of selected combinations) just click on save icon, before executing
2. It will ask for variant name. Give suitable and save.
3. Next time when you will go in QI06, just click on get variant icon-just next to execute. The saved variant will be called with ready inputs.

What message you get when you executed QI06 after putting above inputs?

It may possible that either purchase info records do not exist for these combinations or QIRs have been created already.

Also ensure, the user ID has authorizations for required objects to execute this transaction.

I think I figured it out. I was selecting the total block indicator in the selection screen of QI06. When I took it out it worked. I was hoping it would work with the total block indicator. Looks like I will have to run one job first to create the QIR and then the 2nd job to change the QIR with the total block indicator.

Our business process dictates that purchasing will be allowed to purchase from an unapproved vendor with the hope that the vendor will be approved eventually as he/she is a known entity with good track record. The QI06 report will be run 2-3 times a day to create the QIR from the PIR automatically. However since the purchasing is at risk, the QIR should be created in total block status with a warning message. Thats the reason I wanted to do both in one step itself.
