0130 inspection prefered insp type setting --for Semi finished Product.

[Former Member]

Hi Experts,

Semi finished (SM1 ) material is having One BOM component as (RM1).

The SM1 is :

a)Produced in House

b)Procured from Vendor against Purchase orders.

c)Procured from Subcontracting Process by providing the RM1 to vendor.

Settings: Activated 01 & 0130 inspection types in Material master of SM1

In case if the 'prefered inspection type' is set for eigther one of  activated 01 & 0130 Inspection types;

GR  aginst regular Purchase Orders and GR aginst Sub contarcting both are triggered to 'active+ prefered' combination inspection type.

Issue: a)How to map Insp.lots should trigger for 01 & 0130 seperately( automatically-101mvt ) to identify perticular GR came with Purchase order & another with subcontarcting GR's.

b)  Incase Source inspection also required for this SM1 with QInfo Record .

Thanks in Advance ,

Hi Karthik,

This is a good question. It seems, you have all three purchase specific scenarios activated for your business process, related to inspection lot origin "01". Here are they -

a) Normal GR inspection for PurOrd - Inspection type 01

b) Source Inspection - Inspection type 0101

c) Subcontracting inspection - Inspection type 0130

All these three inspection types should be in "Active" status to be relevant for your business process.

Now below is the detailed explanation on how to use the other 'Active" inspection process -

1. Normal GR inspection for PurOrd: We need to separate the most common business process related to GR form PurOrd with MvT 101, which in normal case should select the inspection type 01. So, you can additionally activate the indicator "PREFERRED INSPECTION TYPE" against it. Once this is done, then during normal GR, there is a pre-selected inspection type, to support the process.

2. Source Inspection: To do this process, you can create quality Info record in Tx QI01, in tab - Inspection Control, go to block - Vendor source inspection and ass inspection type 0101. As soon as this minimum setup is activated, you can go to transaction QI07 and create source inspection, even before you have done GR against PurOrd. So this process is again going to work independently form your initially selected GR form PurOrd. Now, adjecent to source inspection block, there is another checkbox called "Source Inspection - no GR". If you select this, then there will be no new inspection lot created during GR form PurOrd, This setup will thus become independent to your GR form PurOrd inspection process.

NOTE: Please note a couple of points here. Selecting "Source insp - No GR" is not a mandatory setup. Reason being, there are many organizations who do both Source Inspection and double check the incoming goods at GR. If you need both inspection lots for your process, then you SHOULD NOT select this indicator. Also, ensure that Status profile for Supplier relationship, added to the 3rd tab 'Status" is managed correctly with correct inspection types. You can see it in the Configuration -

SPRO -----> Quality Management => QM in Logistics => QM in Procurement => Define Status of Supply Relationships => Assign delivery status for inspection type. Ensure that the right inspection type is maintained here. I prefer using inspection type 0101 to avoid confusions later.

3. Subcontracting Inspection: Normally the subcontracting setup is maintained at the Production order Routing - Operation level. The checkbox 'Subcontracting" should be active to initiate this process. Double click the operation number, then scroll down and go to the 'External Processing' block. Along with other Purchasing specific fields, here you have a field for inspection type. Add the inspection type 0130 here. If so, then during GR, this inspection type 0130 will be defaulted based on this masterdata maintenance and not be picked form "preferred inspection type" setup.

NOTE: Please do not select "Preferred inspection type" for inspection type 0130, as it will then keep hitting the regular GR form Purchase process.

Hope this elaborate discussion clarifies your confusion. Please test all the three said processes and confirm if they are working satisfactorily.

Thanks,

Hello Arijit Ji,

Thank you very much for your guidence.

Actually we treat our material SM1( semifinished) is the standard clips used in steel constrcution.

1)In our company we produce this in mass production , Production dept. perfroms GR in MIGO triggers 04 inspection type.we have sepearte 53 usage for the inspection type 04.

2) We send the material by giving our plate material cut bits to vendor and get the clips -- we treat it is 'Subcontarcting' scenario. ---with Purchase order 'L' item category.

3) Agian we get the material SM1 completely from vendor with thier material - with Purchase order.

• We dont use operation subcontracting with 0130 inspection in Routing.

At present Stores team are performing in MIGO Purchase orders with 101 mvt- GR both Subcontarcting and regular supply from vendors triggering with 01 inspection type.01 insp type having usage 05.

from above any possibility to defferentiate Subcontarcting and Regular procurement material inspection lots by incorporating 0130 inspection type and 01 inspection types.

As per my knowledhe both are under 01 origin and in QA32 also with input 01 origin only entering to Work list.

Regards,

Karthik

Hi Karthik,

I believe, the main confusion in on the process 2) and 3), where process 2) you are trying to use inspection type 0130 and process 3) is a generic GR form PurOrd with inspection type 01.

I have one doubt - in process 2) you send SM1 and get SM1 again? or you send SM1 + some other materials, and then get back SM2?

Well, as there is no other conditions there for your case to separately identify which inspection type needs to be selected. You should try checking for enhancements active at Goods Receipt form PurOrd to pick the right inspection type "0130", only when the item category for PurOrd is "L" and if if it's not, then pick inspection type "01", as already suggested by Babu. You can try the below two exits form MM side -

MBCF0002            Customer function exit: Segment text in material doc. item

MBCF0005            Material document item for goods receipt/issue slip

Also form QM side, please check this exit -

QPL10001 - EXIT_SAPLQPL1_002

QAAT0001 - EXIT_SAPLQAAT_002

Ensure that both inspection types "01" and "0130" are active in the material SM1. But add 'preferred inspection type' only for inspection type "01". Now with this enhancement in place, it should pick the subcontract inspection type "0130" programmatically.

Thanks,

Sir, Thank you very much for your detailed reply.

I have confused you with my communication from above points 2 & 3.

In process 2 , we send raw material plate cut bits only to Vendor not SM1, we give Purchase order L for SM1 and we recieve SM1 only.

In process 3,  we completely get SM1 product from a vendor ( including their raw material) ,like purchasing a product with P.O.

Process 2 & process 3 are not linked with each other.

Regards,

Karthik.

Hello Sai,

As per standard SAP the 01 inspection type will have task list usage 05(Goods receipt) and 0130 inspection type will have the task list usage 53 (GR external process)

in QA32 by changing the layout you will get the list of inspection lots with task list usage 5 and task

list usage with 53

Issue: a)How to map Insp.lots should trigger for 01 & 0130 seperately( automatically-101mvt ) to identify perticular GR came with Purchase order & another with subcontarcting GR's.

ANS: Subcontracting PO will have the item category L and task list usage as 53 so with reference to these two options you will segregate the inspection lots which generated for sub contracting

hope this will clear your requirement

Venkatesh..
