Conflict between 02 & 10 Inspection types

[former_member204463]

Dear Experts,

I've a requirement to activate outbound delivery inspection for which I will activate inspection type 10. But the material is already activated with 02 Inspection type which is used for Goods issue inspection (261 Mvmt type) against production order, which is also creating inspection lot for delivery to goods issue against sales order (601 mvmt type). We cannot deactivate 02 as we need it for 261 mvmt. Due to this there is a conflict for Outbound delivery inspection. Any suggestions ?

Regds,

Keerthi.

Hi Keerthi,

Good Evening,

In my opinion, you may explore the User Exit QPL10001, to hard block the usage of inspection type 02 for MvT 601. Kindly let me know if this is a possible option for you.

Thanks,

Thanks Arijit. I need to check on it with Technical team considering the dependencies.

Which inspection type is preferred for Outbound delivery inspection 02 or 10 & why?

As per standard, it has to be 10 but din't get why 02 is also activated for it ?

Any thoughts/findings on it?

Hi Keerthi,

Just done a quick check for MvT 601 and understand that it is tagged to inspection lot origin "02". This is the main reason for triggering the additional inspection lot (type 02) creation, along with inspection type 10 creation.

As you correctly said, you should stick to the usage of inspection type 10 for your purpose, as this is the right approach.

Thanks,

Arijit

Yeah you're right. That itself is my question. If 601 is already active with 02 inspection type then 10 Insp type is not necessary or vice versa.

To my understanding, Inspection type 02 and 10 have different significance, though both being non-stock relevant. For example, inspection type 02 will just be created if the MvT 601 is triggered, making an issue inspection lot. You can't control it much though for other business needs. related to shipping and delivery functions.

Whereas, If you maintain a customer Info Record in QV51, you can maintain delivery category, Quality Inspection - Before Delivery/After Delivery/By Customer. Then you can maintain inspection process at shipping for -

a) Assign Inspection Lot Origin to Delivery Type

b) Assign Inspection Type to Delivery Category ==> This part is also tagged with your Customer Info- record. Here normally you get the SAP standard setup for 10/11/12 to choose form. So, SD-QM part gives you better flexibility to handle bases on particular customer's requirement.

May be it will also be a good idea to try to deactivate the inspection type creation for MvT 601 and check if it works with inspection type 10 and form SD side this process if accommodated. I believe, that will not impact with the inspection lot 02 creation for MvT 261, as for this process, you have not blocked it.

Hope you can try and suggest what works best for your process.

Also, the inspection type 10 is assigned in configuration to the SD document type.  So some deliveries can create inspection lots, and some deliveries will not.

For example, a delivery for a Free of charge sample may not require an inspection lot.  But a delivery for an actual customer's delivery does.

i would think that in most cases, for a given material, you'd either activate inspection type 02 or 10.  Not both for the same material.

I'm kind of confused at to why you would activate the 02 on the material to create an inspection lot for the production order.  Cause it sounds like the material in question is being used both as a component for a production order and then as a saleable product.

What did you do in the production order to change the original material?  If you changed it in some way it should probably be a new material when receipted.  If you didn't change it, why is it being processed by a production order?  Is this primarily some type of rework process?

It might help if we understood why the same material number is issued in the production order and received from the same order.  Or is it?

Did you come across any provision/notes in SAP to make Inspection type 10 as stock-relevant inspection.

[former_member42743 · Accepted solution]

The 10 is not stock relevant but it can block the delivery from being goods issued.

Craig

[former_member204463 · Accepted solution]

Agreed. Wanted to know if there is provision to make it stock relevant with goods postings to QI stock for inspection and then to Unrestricted if accepted.

Sorry Keerthi, you can't really change the standard SAP setup here to change it form non-stork relevant to stock relevant one.

Keerthi, You should explain why inspection type 02 and 10 are activated on the same material? 02 is basically GI inspection and 10 refers to delivery inspection, you already know that well.

Which business scenario can consume a material (post inspection), deliver the same material and demands inspection again ? 

Having them both on the same material doesn't make any sense. You probably doing some processing on the material and that doesn't change anything in the material, your input is the output.

I'm confused! And yes, you cannot do anything with the stock functionality of the inspection types or the inspection type-movement type relationship. What has been defined, cannot be altered.

Nitin, We've a business scenario where semi-finished goods are consumed as well as sold to customer based on the requirements.

Thanks everyone for your inputs.

Keerthi, Please let us know if you could progress with your issue now after all inputs been shared here. Just to reconfirm that inspection type 10 is non-stock relevant, hence you can plan to adopt in the process you may be willing to implement. Thanks.

Hi Arijit,

I'm yet to work with technical team on the user exit you've mentioned to block 02 inspection for delivery. Otherwise, everything is standard regarding to stock/non-stick and I understand that it cannot be changed as per the feedback from experts in the forum. So, I'm not expecting any more response on the same.

Thanks everyone for your inputs.
