Source inspection lot after PO release

[former_member512784]

This is regarding source inspection, i think in standard sap, source inspection lot can be trigger as soon as P.O. is created.

But in our scenario, every P.O. will be released by Purchase manager and sometimes he may not release.

My requirement is like inspection lot should trigger only when P.O. is releases.

Is this possible please advice.

The creation of the source inspection lots are based on the expected delivery date. They are not created when the PO is created or released.

See this SAP help for manually creating the source inspection. This same program is usually set up in most clients to run as a batch job on a regular basis. The parameters given the program determine how far in advance the source inspection lots are created. (QI07, QA51,QA52) QM>Quality Inspection>Worklist>Inspection Lot Creation>Source inspection

http://help.sap.com/saphelp_46c/helpdata/en/0f/adfab1354d11d4b2ea0050da4ceab0/content.htm

You may need to create several variants for the batch job and run multiple steps to the job. This allows you to set up certain materials and/or vendors with different opening periods and delivery dates dependent on the specific material.

It sounds like whom ever set your batch job up for this set the job up with very wide open parameters so virtually every PO created gets the source inspection lot created almost right away. You might improve your problem by just adjusting the parameters used in the batch job.

It would also probably not be hard to copy this program and have a programmer modifiy it so that only PO's with a release status are considered.

Of course it would probably be better to train the purchasing agents/manager to actually delete the PO's in a timely fashion when they don't intend to use them. It would keep the system cleaner and help out MRP.
