GR only if Inspection plan exists

[Former Member]

Dear Experts,

My requirement is to control lot creation without Inspection plan during GR generation for a material.

QM proc is active in Material master with require inspection type.

Phenemina: Without inspection plan the lots are generated during GR. I want to prevent this situation or detect the same during GR generation itself. Is it possible in Standard SAP or else?

Dear VRMP,

I am not able to understand you exact requirement here.

Do you want to prevent GR posting itself if the plan doesn't exist in the system for the material?

or

Do you want to skip inspection lot creation and let the GR get posted in the plan is not there for the material?

But according to me,in Both the cases the provision is not available in STD SAP. You may need to create you own trx like ZMIGO and do your own coding for it, which is self destroying way to meet the requirement so it is strictly not advisable. Because MIGO is such highly integrated TRX that it must not be disturbed.

I agree to suggestion 1) by Gajesh. QM people can easily come to know about first time procurement of each material via Q - Info Record creation request by Purchase department. And this will be available to QM in well advance also.

Dear VRMP

I think it is not practical to prevent creation of lots if inspection plan is not there. No bussiness scenarios will accept it.

My suggestions are

1) Make use of quality info record. In material master give a QM control key which makes vendor release mandatory. So MM people if they need to create a PO they will only be able to create it if quality info record is maintained. This is just like an approval of material , vendor by the QM personnel. So QM personnnel comes to know that he has to maintain the inspection plan

2) Make use of alert system or workflow by which whenever PO is created an alert goes to the QM personnel ( can go to QM derived roles for the respective plants) if the inspection plan of the material is not available in the inspection plan table. So this gives a prior information for the quality person to create the inspection plan in advance

Dear VRMP,

Along with the Gajesh's solution, you can use the transaction "Missing/ Unusable Goods Receipt Inspection Plans (QP07)" to report the list of materials planned to procure into QI, but inspection plans are not available. By using the report you can prepare inspection plans well in advance of GR.

It is not suggestable to stop GR because of QC has not prepared inspection plans. The material has been supplied after the authorised document (PO) has been issed by purchase department. You could have controlled with your control key before the preparation of PO.

With Best Regards
