How do you store QM samples in inventory management?

[Former Member]

Hi all,

We've managed to set up QM sample management so the system automatically creates physical samples, prints labels for these samples, and in WM even post the samples to a separate bin from the remaining inspection lot quantity (yeah!).

However, samples are physically stored outside the warehouse and here's the problem: the UD still posts the samples to IM unrestricted stock and it becomes available for MRP and ATP - which could be a problem if we're almost out of stock.

So, we're looking for a way to have the system post the sample quantity to IM reserved stock automatically. Example: when making the UD you see in the movement tab: Insp lot size 10 pcs, samples 2 -> when approving we want the system to automatically move 2 to reserved stock and 8 to unrestricted stock.

Thanks,

Hi,

I am not sure about you exavt requirement.but just I think if you want system should prapose 2 QTY to as sample qty then in MIC control indicator keep destructive check box on.

& also sample size give 2 QTY.

So when you will give UD in stock posting tab system will prapose 2 QTy against sample & 8 Qty against unrestricted.

If you automatic stock posting then when you create Code ( Which is you are using in selection set T Code QS51 ) in posting praposal give auatmatic UD .

So that when you will give UD system will autamatically post 8 Qty to unrestricred & 2 Qty to sample.

Hi Sanil,

Thanks- I knew I'd forgotten something. For completeness: we now use the destructive sampling and change the movement type for "sampling" from 331 to 350 ,so it moves to blocked stock and we can keep the samples on stock..

Thanks for the help,
