Vendor Batch issue

[Former Member]

Gurus - I am having an issue with the vendor batche's. Here is an example of the scenario. Lets say the PO is created for 100 kg's with vendor batch 'Vend123'. We received a partial shipment of 10 kg's. So we received it into quality inspection with Vendor batch 'Vend123' & SAP batch 345678. The inspection for this lot is rejected due to quality reasons. So when we receive the second shipment with the same vendor batch is there a way to get a message that the previous lot is not accepted?

Any help is much appreciated.

Thanks,

You could look at using one of the user exits at lot creation and use them to put a note into the short text of the inspection lot. "vendor batch previously receipted - rej"

As far I remember, not possible in std SAP. May be someone else can give you a solution./work around.Otherwise discuss with ABAPers if any logic development is possible.

Typically, from a standard SAP perspective a new inspection lot will be created when inspection lot for the previous quantity has failed with reference to the same batch number (not vendor batch). Now, in terms of invoking the message that you are looking for during receipt, it is not possible via standard SAP. You may create an enhancement spot to verify the inspection lot status for the existing batch / vendor batch.
