source inspection - inspection lot skip for certified vendor

[Former Member]

Hii,

I have a requirement in which during source inspection, the inspection lot should not be created if the Vendor is certifed. I have made the following settings:-

1. In Vendor Master, maintained the Actual QM system in control-reference data.(QM system marked for skip in customizing)

2. In Material Master-

- Activated QM Proc- QM control Key -Delivery release

- Target QM system

- Inspection type for source inspection activated in inspection set up

3.In Quality Info Record for Vendor,Material,Plant combination-in Inspection Control tab-

- Maintained the existing QM system & validity

- Selected 'No Inspection' in Insp. control

In Vendor source inspection tab maintained the inspection type & lead time.

Inspite of the above settings, I can see this PO (for vendor,material,plant) in the source inspection worklist(QI07).

Please suggest as to which setting I might be missing.

Thanks!!!

Hi,

One clarification.As the vendor is certified, why there is need to maintain the source inspection in Q. Info record? Remove the source insp.

Actually if we are activating insp in material master, it will be applicable to that material irrespctive of the vendor from which it is procured.So we maintain Q. Info record, and for certified vendors we can skip the inspection.So while creating that Q. Info record, there is no need to maintain the source inspection.

Hi Vishal,

You are right. But I was just thinking in case the Vendor is certified for a particular period ( though it usually is valid for a long period) and then the validity of the certificate lapse then the source inspection lot should be generated. i.e there should not be a need to update the inspection type again in QIR.

Is there a possibilty to do this?

Thanks!!

Hi,

I think the inspection control is valid for GR inspection only and not for source inspection.As you have maintained "no inspection" in inspection control tab means it should not create insp lot at all.But it is creating lot for source inspection.Check if it is creating lot for GR.

Hi,,

You have to go T code QI07

where give input Vendor ,Material plant,

Delivery dateopening peroid

Then execute the transaction .

Select line item click oninsp lot & save.

Where you have trigger lot for the same then only lot will get genarated.

Hi,

Once you enter in QI07 screen after giving all inputs ,you have to select line item ,click on insp lot & save

Then only you can see generated lot.

Hi Sanil,

I can find the PO in the worklist and the inspection lot is getting generated once I trigger it and save.

My issue is that the inspection lot should not be generated, since the vendor is certified.

Please give some more inputs.

Hi,

If you do not want lot for source inspection since your vendor is cerified.then I do not think source inspection is useful here.Because concept of source inspection is material before coming to you it should be checked.But you do not want to check then do not go for source inspection.

So better you go Inspection at GR by Inspection type 01.

This is what my view for your quiestion.
