first article inspection

[Former Member]

Hi,

    Has anyone successfully implemented first artlicle inspection during manufacturing ?

Also during purchase order receipt we can have first article inspection via the Q info record. This workss fine to have the 0101 inspection type for teh first article. However if the first article inspection lot is not dispositioned, the system does not allow me to receive subsequent lots.It says "No inspection lot can be opened for vendor and material".  Is it possible to allow the system to allow subsequent receipts to take place though the first article is open ?

Thanks

Hi GS,

What do you mean by first article inspection during manufacturing ?

You create first production order for a material (SFG/FG) and completes the production order make the GR..stock goes in to quality with inspection lot generation..Now till the time this first inspection lot is cleared system should not allow create/release the second production order for the same material..

is this the requirement ????..

if yes... then it is not possible in standard SAP...you need to go for some enhancement...

if no...elaborate your requirement in detail...

Thanks

In configuration remove status, create an inspection lot and try. I am not sure this will work, but try once.

I have seen that and know it very well.....I have set up first article inspection for purchase receipts. I am asking about manufacturing inspections first article. Plese read my post carefully. Also the receiving first article inspections blocks subsequesnt receipts (again...read my post carefully) until it is dispositioned. I want first artcle which is still open to allow me to receive further lots.
