Using an Inspection Lot for Results Recording for a Production Order

Objective

After completing this lesson, you will be able to create and Release production order for results recording

Create and Release Production Order for Results Recording

Note

Instead of releasing the entire order, you can also sequentially release individual operations of an order. If characteristics are only to be created for released operations, you can set the Late Characteristic Creation indicator in Customizing under Quality Management Basic Settings Maintain Settings at Client Level, Further Settings). This allows a more flexible inspection during production.

If dynamic modification criteria are defined for the task list and/or inspection lot origin, the system checks the existing quality level for the material (and the other criteria, if applicable):

  • If a quality level is not available, the system creates one.

  • If the dynamic modification rule specifies that the quality level must be updated when the usage decision is made, the system does not update the quality level now.

  • If the dynamic modification rule specifies that the quality level must be updated when an inspection lot is created, the system updates the quality level now.

The system calculates the sample size. If the sample calculation must be triggered manually (controlled by the inspection setup in the material master), you must call up the inspection lot in change mode and trigger the sample calculation manually.

Note

Refer to the SAP Application Documentation for additional information about the integration of inspection lots with production orders.

How to Create and Release Production Order for Results Recording

Adding Unplanned Characteristics to the Inspection Lot

After having released the order, you can add unplanned characteristics to the inspection lot. For more information, refer to the following text.

If, after release of the order and creation of the inspection lot, additional inspection characteristics should be added, you have the option of adding unplanned inspection characteristics to the inspection lot. To do so, open the order in change mode, select the operation you want to change, and choose function OperationUnplanned Inspection Characteristics.

Note

You can also add unplanned inspection characteristics in result recording.

If existing operations are deleted from an order or new operations are added to an order (for example, from a reference operation set) before the order is released, the corresponding inspection characteristics are also deleted or added. After the order was completely or partially released and the inspection lot was created, when you add new inspection-relevant operations the corresponding characteristics are also copied to the inspection lot. Deleting operations does not have an effect, however.
