Hi,

Early Inspection Lot:

Excerpts from Std SAP documentation:

An inspection lot with inspection lot origin 04 is created when a

production or process order is released. You can use this inspection

lot to inspect goods receipts of the finished quantities and then

manage them after goods receipt posting in the inspection lot stock.

Recommendation: Avoid making a usage decision for this type of early

inspection lot before any goods receipts have been posted. The usage

decision will then have a stock quantity of 0, but will not have the

status completely credited. This means that any following goods

receipts will be posted into the stock for this inspection lot. You

must then credit this lot from the stock quantity yourself, even if

you do not intend to perform further checks.

Hope this helps

Srinivas,

Early Inspection is what is can be defined in the Inspection Type assigned to the Material Master in Inspection setup. Here you can define Inspection Lots needs to be created at the time of release of order, and the UD for the lot can be done before GR. In normal instance Inspection lot is created for every Material Document of GR or at the time of GR.
