MPN materials and inspection lot creation

[george_ainiveettil]

Dear all, We are planning to use MPN process for sourcing for vendors from different manufacturers. I have seen that this is possible in the scenario with inspection types with same inspection origin(01) and also saw some posts here.

We have different status maintained for Q Info record in status profile and user manually select a status. Based on the selection of status the corresponding inspection type will be triggered. My question is as we are creating Q info record based on MPN material , do we have to create inspection plans on MPN material level or main material level?

I understood that we can create different inspection plans for different inspection types with different usage for same vendor .do we have to link vendor in Inspection plan level ( in material assignment tab).Currently we are not using this field. Thank you for your time.

Best regards

Geo

Dear all,

Is there any inputs regarding the above topics please?

Different inspection types using MPN material( for the main material).

1. Do we create inspection plans in MPN material level or main header material ( with different usages) when different inspection types to be created( for example "01" inspection origin with Z1,Z2,Z3 insp .types)

2. In MPN scenario, do we have to assign vendor to the inspection plan ? is it mandatory?

Thank you.

Best regards

George
