QM Lot

[Former Member]

Dear Friends,

Please help me in this requirement. My client wants to create an inspection lot for the produced material only once for the month, even if the material is produced number of times in the month, the lot should be created for the first manufactured batch for the month.

Please help.

Thanks in advance

Create 04 inspection lots with dynamic modification. Set 2 stages. An initial stage of inspect 1, and a skip stage of 999.

On the skip stage, set the maximum number of days to 30. Once thirty days, pass, you'll get a lot the next time that material is produced.

Keep in mind, this is not by the month. For instance. If you inspect a required lot on Feb 5, the next skip stage will not expire until the Mar 5. If a batch is made on Mar 1-4 it will still be a skip lot. Now on Mar 5 I have a required lot created. I inspect it. I don't make the material again until Apr 29. That lot will be required and my next required lot won't be until May 29.

Thanks Craig,

It is working.

But there are two periods to be mentioned on the Dynamic modification rule. One is 'Reset period (days)'

and other 'Max. skip duration'. Can you please explain the impact of these two fields.

The reset period in days causes the DMR to reset back to the initial stage after the given number of days.

The Max. skip duration is just for that particular skip stage in which case it progresses to the next stage.

In the example I gave you with only two stages, an initial stage and a skip stage, they would result in the same outcome. But in a DMR with multiple stages and multiple skip stages, they would work differently.

The reset period would always bring the DMR back to the initial stage regardless of the current stage. The max. skip duration does not take it to the initial stage, but to the next stage.

Dear Craig,

Dear Craig,

One more requirement is there.

In one plant a material is received for R & D purpose as well as for normal use. Now the client wants the batch coming for R & D purpose should not go to Quality inspection & the batch for normal purpose should be checked in Quality. The plant code is same. Is it possible. Please suggest.

I don't think that is possible unless they purchase the material from different vendors. In which case a vender/material info record can be used to skip inspection.

I'm surprised they don't have different material codes for this as usually the qty's purchased for an R&D area are usually smaller qtys such a lbs or grams. But when purchased for a facility, they buy in large qtys of drums, or tank trucks.

And if there isn't this large difference in size, why doesn't R&D just get their qty's from the plant instead of ordering separately. I would think it would be much cheaper.

If it's a research grade vs. a tech grade they should use different material numbers.

Dear Craig,

We have one more scenario. We want to check one characteristic of a material after every 10th inspection lot. Now we have made Dynamic modification rule & assigned to the chara. in inspection plan. And at inspection plan header we have specified that the Dy. modification at chara. level. And it is working fine.

Now if we take material from two different vendors, the Quality level is vender specific. Means if the present stage is skip & if the lot is created using different vender, the chara. is not in 'Skip' stage.

Yes.. that is correct. Each vendor is following the same DMR but are tracked independent of each other.

To change that you would need to specify that the criterion is based on the task list and not the vendor number. In that manner, it wouldn't matter who you ordered from. You'll find that setting in the task header.

Dear Craig,

Thanks, but still more requirement of client.

Suppose we have two task lists for usage 5 (Goods receipt). And both the task list have same characteristics. Can we dynamically modify this chara. independent of which task list used. And the task lists have some more chara. which should not be modified dynamically.

Since your crtieria are set at the task list level and your using DMR at the characteristic level, then each characteristic for each plan can be modified independent of each other characterisitic.

Hi Craig,

One more issue, if you can help

My client want to have two materials in the BOM of a product, where he should be able to choose whichever material he wants out of the two while manufacturing. I have suggested alternate BOM, but he is not inclined to make two separate BOM's and want any other method if possible.

Thanks & Warm regards

hi

for that maintain inspection type 89 in material master, for that you can create inspection lot by t code qa01. and result record whenever needed.
