PO creation doesn't look at QINF

[Former Member]

All, need help on the below quality scenario...

here is the master data for the scenario I'm having issues with:

(1) material master has inspection type 01 active, QM in procurement active, and QM control key 0007 (we want to block the invoice until QC releases to unrestricted)

(2) quality info record has release until 12/31/2030,

     a. inspection active for vendor XXX, no existing or vendor QM systems set, no status profile, and no quality agreements

     b. no inspection for vendor YYY, no existing or vendor QM systems set, no status profile, and no quality agreements

     c. no inspection for vendor ZZZ, , no existing or vendor QM systems set, no status profile, and no quality agreements

PO creation for vendor YYY or vendor ZZZ shows stock type of "Quality Inspection" even thou the QINF record for those vendors are no inspection.  It looks like PO creation is not even considering the quality info record at all.  Is there any config somewhere that I need to complete?  Is this drived by the config of movement types or something else?

I have checked everything and I do not see what I'm missing here.  I have looked thru existing notes and support documents but they reference mostly to when there's a status profile or quality agreements and I do not have any of that.

Any feedback is greatly appreciated.

Thanks, Aida

Hi Aida De Jesus,

Please follow below steps:

(1) material master has inspection type 01 active, QM in procurement active, and QM control key 0007 (we want to block the invoice until QC releases to unrestricted)

(2) quality info record has release until 12/31/2030,

     a. inspection active for vendor XXX, no existing or vendor QM systems set, no status profile, and no quality agreements (Field Insp. control = Inspection Active)

     b. no inspection for vendor YYY, no existing or vendor QM systems set, no status profile, and no quality agreements (Field Insp. control = No inspection).

     c. no inspection for vendor ZZZ, , no existing or vendor QM systems set, no status profile, and no quality agreements (Field Insp. control = No inspection).

After this step please maintain source list for all vendors (XXX, YYY, ZZZ) through transaction ME01, then you can try to create the PO and during subsequent goods receipt no inspection lot will be created for PO's against vendors YYY and ZZZ.

Kindly check and confirm.

SAP check the stock status and Inspection lot creation during Goods receipt, not at the time of PO creation.

Only check that is performed during PO creation is "Block function"  in Q Info record. where you can block PO creation may not be allowed if Block is active.

It's not clear to me that you have tested this all the way through to actual Goods receipt and posting.

Have you taken it that far for all three vendors?

Can you look purchasing view in the material master under section other data/ manufacturing data that Post to inspection Stock indicator is checked ?

Jagdeep, the purchasing view in the material master doesn't have the Post to Inspection stock indicator field.  It only has GR Processing Time, Quoat arr. usage, source list, Critical part, and JIT Sched. Indicator fields.

Thanks...
