Material with Skip Inspection but no Skip-to-stock goods movement

0 Kudos

We have a material with the following QM setting:

Inspection Type : 01 (Active)

Skips Allowed = Yes

automatic usage decision = Yes

Inspection with Task list = No

Dynamic Modification Rule = Set

Cont.Ins Lot creation (QMAT-CHG) = "1. For each Material Doc, material, batch and sloc)

Current DMR Stage is a Skip Stage

For the above settings, when a GR is done for a material in Skip status, the system creates a Inspection Lot with status "SKIP" but still moves the stock to Q-stock.

We expect the movement to be to "unrest" but this does not happen. Also, this Q-Stock Stock Type prints on the GR Slip, which incorrectly prompts the goods to be sent to Quality Inspection. This causes a lot of confusion in the GR/Inspection process

I contacted SAP and they came back with this very unclear message:

if you are using any form of the inspection lot collection the quantity of the inspection lot will be cumulated during the goods receipt postings. So a skip-to-stock would be dangerous as no check of the quality (UD) of the coming goods receipt would occur after the first goods receipt

Has anyone else had this issue? Is there a use-exit that will work around this and move stock directly to Unrestricted use stock?

Hi,

We faced the same problem and went back to option:

Cont.Ins Lot creation (QMAT-CHG) = "For each Material Document item

This solves the problem and was in our case the solution for receipts from production. But at goods receipt for purchase orders we still use the option for each material document, batch and SL.

There we pick up the materials in WM by hand by scanning the bar codes on the pallets (printed at GR). The transfer order creates a negative quant in unrestricted use that is later filled by the automatic usage decision that moves the stock from quality to unrestricted in the same bin.

Hope this helps.....

Thanks for replying with your solution! We still face this problem.

I double checked and all of our materials with inspection type '01' are set up as " " For each material document item, yet we still have the stock being put into quaility during goods receipt instead of unrestricted.

Do you have any other advice on what may be wrong or missing?

Do you receive your materials on purchase order or inbound deliveries?

If you receive purchase order I'd say that you have some developments running that cause the problem.

When using inbound deliveries there's the thing with the QM/WM integration that can cause problems. You should markt the item category as not relevant for putaway to get this process to work. Else there can be a mismatch between WM and IM because the movement in WM can be performed earlier then the IM movement. Also here there might be a customer specific development that could cause the problem.

Kedar,

Did you ever find a solution? I am facing a similar problem.

FF - wouldn't running QA10 be run after the GR? Our problem is that during GR the "Q" is printed on the GR slip. So then the stock is physically moved to the quality area and then eventually once the QM folks process the skip lot the stock has to be physically moved to storage.

Run the batch job for skip lots. (QA10). Click on the skip lots indicator to process the skip lots.
