In Process Inspection

[Former Member]

Hi Gurus,

I am fairly new to QM and am stuck in the scenario described below:

Our client has a unique number associated with a work center which they call as the Process ID(PID). This essentially means that in the routing each operation performed has a different PID.

Each PID has certain error codes which are specific to that. To this point things are fairly simple.

The current process for the client is handled outside SAP. They have a fixed sequence of manufacturing per product group. This means that they have the information about which PID comes first and which ones follow. At the time of printing the production order papers, Failure inspection charts are printed. Each PID has a failure inspection chart. That chart contains the following information:

1) Possible errors for PID for the current operation/ Process

2) Possible errors for All previous PIDs

The operators mark the findings on the sheets and the data is entered into a database for analysis. This means that they have information about the Point of detection as well as the point of origin.

Please guide how this scenario can be mapped in SAP

Regards

I think you need process to capture results but no UD or control on stock postings. In this case you can use following steps.

1. QS41 - catalog type 1 - Create code groups for each PID

2. QS21- Create MIC for each PID. Assign code group to the MIC

3. In CA02- assign MIC to each of the PID

4. Now during production order processing each operation will have a MIC with possible error list. Operator can maintain data for these MIC from the list in code groups.

If needed, use control key in the routing- To prevent going to PID-2 before completing MIC results for PID-1
