Early lot creation with multiple stock posting

Former Member

Dear Gurus,

I'm working with inp. type 04 with early lot creation (and batch management is activated).

If I received quantity 100 PC and made a partial stock release of 90 PC for example, then posted another stock receipt, the quantity is assigned to the existing lot...which is my requirement.

The problem arises when I make a complete stock release of the 100 PC, if I posted a new goods receipt it creates a new inspection lot, and this is not required....I need this quantity to be assigned to the existing lot.

How can I handle this?

Regards,

MaX

There is complex situation.

If you are working in project phase and consultant, I would suggest you the business process reengineering.

For example... (but just idea)

1) Implement the insp. type '04' (early lot creation) for in-process inspection without stock control.

And implement own insp. type ## (copied from '08') for inspection of finished product with stock control.

2) Create own movement type ### (copied form '311'? not sure) to transfer posing from production line to storage and for inspection.

3) When an order is released, '04' inspection lot is created, then processing of in-process inspection.

4) After production people post multiple receipts into line and full release, they make one stock transfer using movement type ### with full quantity.

    1. inspection lot is created, then processing of inspection for finished product.

Why do you need quantity which is posted after UD to be assigned to existing lot?

If you want to post stock for this quantity, I would suggest you don't implement 'early lot creation for order'.

If not, let us know your purpose.

Hey Luke,

Here is the situation...it is not possible (for some internal reasons) to put the characteristics of the in-process inspection (IPC) in the master recipe, so I'm putting both the IPC & the post process in an inspection plan and using inspection type 04 with it.

I need the early lot creation so that the inspection lot is ready with the order release for the entry of the IPC results, and it is not possible by any means to use any other type of inspection control.

The situation now is that @ my customer they post multiple receipts for the order.I noticed in the system one of 3 possibilities:

1. The UD is made (or not made even) and a "partial release" is done, the next receipt will be assigned to the "same lot". This

is OK with me.

2. The UD is not made and a "full release" is done, the next receipt will be assigned to a "new lot". This is NOT OK with me.

3. The UD is made and a full release is done, the next receipt will be posted to unrestricted and not quality !!!. This is not

acceptable at all, it is a disaster actually.

For me I can manage stopping the UD until they post all there receipts, but I need that when the UD is not made and the quantity assigned is "fully released", the next receipt is assigned to the "same lot".

MaX

No good answer here. What you have to prevent is the full release. This really can only be done by a manual process. The users are trained that until the order is completed, you can't do a full release.

What I would probably do is find a user exit at the UD and use it check two things,

1). Would the proposed posting make the stock qty go to zero. If not, exit and allow the posting.

2) if the stock posting would go to zero after the posting, check to see if the related production order has the status of TECO. If it does, allow the posting. If it doesn't fail the posting and issue an error message to the user.

Dear early lot creation in your case is working perfectly correct if you want to achieve your requirement then it is not possible in early lot creation settings in standard SAP.

Can any body tell me the logic behind this impossibility??

Business wise, why is the standard SAP acting like that....for me, I see that it is normal that I have one inspection lot and I get all my receipts on it even if I did complete stock release from QA11

This is copy from SAP document -

In this lot summary, the stock from the inspection lot is increased by the stock quantities from the following goods movements. The lot summary does not take place when the inspection lot stock created with the first goods receipt is already completely credited when further partial deliveries are received.

In your case system is behaving exactly as designed.
