First article inspection as I understand it means that you set up an agreement with a vendor to produce a specific part. You have such trust in the vendors ability to perform that you only inspect the first shipment of the material. If the material meets all requirements of the contract, you are assuming that all future shipments will be similar and you do no more inspections.
I think the standard SAP process for this would be Dynamic modification where you up the rule to inspect once and then have like 9999 skip lots. Some places set it up with a time limit, like 365 days. So that you inspect at least one shipment a year.
