Inspection lot created date, start date, end date and GR processing time.

[Former Member]

Can someone please explain how the created, start, and end dates are generated for inspection lots in QA32. I am trained on the QM side, but have little experience with PO's or other upstream processes.

Our lots are both created by manufacturing (04 inspection type) and purchased materials (01 inspection type). I can see no correlation between the created date or start date and the SAP calculated end date. We were told that the GR processing time is the key, but am having troubles finding the details.

Thanks,

Chris

Average Inspection Duration

Average duration of an inspection (in days) for each inspection type.

When an inspection lot is created and you enter the start date for an inspection, the system uses the value stored in this field for the average inspection duration to calculate the end date for the inspection.

If you enter the end date of the inspection when the inspection lot is created, the system calculates the start date of the inspection using the average inspection duration entered in this field.
