Digital Signature in In-Process Inspection

[Former Member]

Hi,

I am using QM Authorization group in QM view in material msater for Digital signature for -Result recording, Sample Confirmation and UD.

My requirement is for for FERT and HALB materials when 04 and 03 series inspection lots are created I want Digital Signature for 04 lots but don't want Digital Signature for 03 lots (In-Process Inspection).

Is there any solution to achieve this?

Comments are welcome and assure for rating.

Hi Vivek,

If you have activated "QM Material Auth" (QALS-QMATAUTH) group in Material master QM view, I think it will be activated for all inspection types added to the same material. You can't filter out any specific inspection type and the signature process will follow as per the set rule (Standard/Custom).

A small technical fix can be worked out in such a case at Insp lot creation user Exit. Below is a tentative logic -

If QALS-QMATAUTH ≠ "BLANK" (means, QM Material Auth grp is maintained in material master QM view), and Insp.lot origin (HERKUNFT) and Inspection Type (ART) = "03" ==> then when the inspection lot is created, please clear the values for "Dig.Sign.RR" (QALS-STAT24) and "Dig.sign UD" (QALS-STAT25).

Just an advise - This is not a good way to fix this issue, and you may need to double check with client before doing such a change.

Thanks,

Hi

One small doubt on this.

For 03 inspection lots we want to run background job of QA41 to do auto UD.

But system is not allowing Auto UD as digital signature is required.

Can anybody throw some light on this please?

Hi Vivek,

In case if you are taking the above approach of clearing "Dig.Sign.RR" (QALS-STAT24) and "Dig.sign UD" (QALS-STAT25) directly during the inspection lot creation itself, then while doing UD with background job, ideally this STAT25 field will not be quarried.

There may be a change that in foreground processing with dialog user ID the above process may work in QA16/QA11 but for background processing this may NOT work!!

You can create a custom program using the initial selection same as QA16 and once the records are filtered out - call transaction QA11 to put UD in background for individual inspection lot record form the selection worksheet. While putting the Auto-UD in background, you can use an user ID like "SAP_BGRND" or "QM_BGRND", etc with default password quarried every time, per inspection lot record.

While validating UD records, when you see this user ID it means it was processed at background and if there is any other user ID, it means some user has put UD. You can schedule this custom program as a background job too.

NOTE: This background user should have security role access to QA11 and QA16 for your plant and inspection types.

Please do test this feedback in your sandbox/quality system and feedback.

Thanks,
