How to map revision level materials to already created inspection plan?

[Former Member]

Dear All,

I have created single inspection plan for many existing raw materials. Now it has been found that each raw material have different revision level as well as valid from date.

My inspection plan is created on 02.07.2014 and each raw material has different revision level with valid from date which is also very old (like 11.03.2012 for revision level 09).

My Requirement is:  how to correct my inspection plan?,  so that it will work for each assigned raw material and there will not be any material revision level wise problem created for the inspection lot so that my inspection lot should be created in REL status in QA32 transaction i.e. inspection lot is assigned automatically as per standard SAP functionality.

Thanks,

Hi Naresh,

Each raw material is having different revision level, so i dont think creating one inspection plan will solve this issue.

You will have to create different inspection plans for each Revision level.

Question is do we have common revision level ? may be not, please check.

I have not worked on Revision levels before but my approach would be

1. Check how many revision levels are there (AEOI Table) Put AETYP = 41 and enter Material code in field "OBJEKT".

2. Bifurcate Materials as per their revision levels.

3. Create inspection plan for each revision level and assign particular Materials to these plans.

Hi Amol,

Thanks for your reply.

In this business scenario, we are not creating inspection plan for each raw material because there is similarity in inspection for 40-50 raw materials and total number of raw materials are around 500. This will be very difficult and unnecessarily data creation in the system.

As per my understanding revision level is for material master revision and if material master changes then how it affect so much on inspection plan? also is it means that for every revision in future we will have to create new inspection plan?  hence I believe that if I will make back dated inspection plan for raw materials then it may work. Is my understanding is correct?

Expecting much better solution from QM experts.

Thanks,

Hi Naresh,

Revision level once created at material same is applicable for BOM, Routing and Inspection Plan. Ensure that inspection plan is created with the initial revision level such that inspection plan is valid from that valid date so that it will be picked automatically when inspection lot is created.
