*What is Source Inspection*
What is source inspection and what are the setup required to do in system to implement successfully?
A source inspection is a quality inspection in which Buyer required the quality check before the material received. So that he performed the quality inspection at the vendoru2019s Location.
To setup source inspection, you should define inspection type (01 and 0101) in material master QM View. (MM01)
When requesting source inspection, include the following information:
a) Purchase order number
b) Item number
c) Part number
d) Quantity of parts to be inspected
e) Date source inspection is required
f) Types of inspection required
- In Process
- Final
- Interim
- First Article Inspection (FAI)
g) Contact name and phone number
Go to transaction QI07 and give the material code, vendor, plant and opening period. When you execute the transaction you would find open purchase orders for the given input data. Select the Purchase Order you wish to perform Source Inspection and choose Create Inspection Lot. These inspection lot triggers for inspection type 0101. Against this inspection Lot perform result recording QE01 & QA11.
When finally you received Goods at your premises, then inspection lot will triggered automatically (01) and perform result recording QE01 & QA11
How to do Source Inspection in QM
Can any one guide how to do Source Inspection in QM. What are the settings required to be done and can the lot for source inspection be trigerred manually or automatically.
The Q-Info Record is used to trigger a source inspection lot for a material/vendor and plant. Under the tab key Inspection Control in Q-Info Record, you would find vendor source Inspection and under that select the inspection type desired for source inspection (say 01,0101) and give the lead time required to perform the inspection in days (say 10 days). If you do not want to trigger an inspection lot @ GR for a source Inspection lot then check the box (Source Insp. No Gr).
Ensure that the inspection type selected @ source inspection is activated in the Material Master Record for the chosen material in the Quality Management View.
To trigger the lot manually you need to have some open purchase orders for the material/plant/vendor. Go to transaction QI07 and give the material code,vendor,plant and opening period. When you execute the transaction you would find open purchase orders for the given input data. Select the Purchase Order you wish to perform S.I and choose Create Inspection Lot.
This would trigger the lot and then it is QE01 & QA11.
Vendor Evaluation for Purchasing
Define the weighting keys in SM30 - V_T147J.
Weighting keys 01 and 02 are defined in the standard system. You combine the following
weighting shares for the standard main criteria:
Main criterion Key 01 Key 02
Price 1 5
Quality 1 5
Delivery 1 2
Gen. service/support 1 1
Ext. service provision 1 2
Define the criteria in SM30 - V_T147G - Double click on the line items
In this step, you define the criteria by which the system computes scores for vendors and
specify whether the scores for the subcriteria are computed manually, semi-automatically, or
automatically.
You can also store your own methods of computation for the scores for subcriteria in the
form of user exits. The enhancement MM06L001 is available for this purpose.
Define the scope of list in SM30 - V_T147M - Double click on the line items
Define Purchasing Organization data for vendor evaluations in transaction OMGL.
An example :-
How the system calculates the score for the automatic subcriteria
"On-Time Delivery Performance"?
The system uses the statistics-relevant delivery date in the purchase order
(Items -> Delivery Schedule) and the goods receipt date to calculate date variances.
You use the statistics-relevant delivery date, for example, if you know that the vendor
will not deliver the material as scheduled on September 15 but on September 30. Enter the
delivery date as September 30, but enter the statistics-relevant delivery date as
September 15.
In calculating the score for on-time delivery performance, the system will then not use
the actual delivery date, but the statistics-relevant delivery date. This has a negative
effect on the score for this goods receipt.
However, materials planning and control uses the realistic delivery date (September 30)
which the vendor will actually adhere to.
The system considers only goods receipts against purchase orders and scheduling agreements
into stores and the release of GR blocked stock into stores. In the standard system, these
are the movement types 101 and 105.
Minimum Delivery Percentage - OMGL in the On-time delivery section
If you do not want a vendor to receive a very good score if he delivered the goods on time,
but did not deliver the required quantity, you can maintain a minimum delivery percentage
in Customizing.
Assume you set the Min. del. perc. parameter to 60% and the vendor delivers the goods on
time, but only 55% of the ordered quantity. Although the goods receipt is punctual, it is
not included in the calculation of the vendoru2019s score for on-time delivery performance. So
that the non-scoring of the on-time delivery performance criterion in this case does not
bring an unfair advantage in comparison with a poor score, the vendor is awarded a low score
for quantity reliability. On-time delivery performance is thus always to be seen in
conjunction with quantity reliability.
Standardizing Delivery Date Variance - OMGL in the On-time delivery section
To rate delivery date variances in days, maintain the Std.del.time var. parameter.
If you assign a lower standard value, this means that relatively low date variances produce
high percentage variances. If you set a higher standard value, this results in a relatively
low percentage variance:
The Std.del.time var. parameter has the value 20. The goods receipt took place on Nov. 27;
the statistical delivery date was Nov. 15. There is thus a difference of 12 days.
The system calculates the percentage variance as follows:
12 / 20 x 100 = 60
If the Std.del.time var. parameter had the value 60, the variance would be 20%
(12 / 60 x 100 = 20).
If you do not maintain this parameter, the system calculates the delivery time variance via
the firm zone in the case of scheduling agreements, and via the order date and the
statistics-relevant delivery date in the case of purchase orders.

Hi,
Source Inspection :
Use:
Source inspections are performed upon request and with the participation of the customer or sold-to party. A source inspection can performed by the receiver of the service, the vendor in the presence of the receiver or by a person or third party (for example, a surveyor) appointed by him.
Inspection lots for source inspections that reference a purchasing document can be created with or without specifying a (vendor) batch (Inspect without batch indicator in worklist for source inspections).
If you did not specify a (vendor) batch, the system creates the inspection lot for batch number ", ,". If the batch is later specified in the purchase order at a later time, the system does not create a new inspection lot for the source inspection. In the Customizing settings for the QM in Procurement control key, you can specify whether or not a new inspection lot should be created during a goods receipt (GR control/Batch).
If you specified a (vendor) batch, the system creates an inspection lot for this batch. If the batch is later specified in the purchase order, the system creates a new inspection lot for the source inspection or goods receipt.
The batch is displayed in the inspection lot.
If the inspection lot for the source inspection is rejected for goods receipt item, the Customizing settings for the QM in procurement control key determines whether:
A goods receipt posting is not possible or
A quality notification is not created and a new inspection lot is created
Triggering of Source Inspections
Use:
You create a list of materials with outstanding purchase orders and scheduling agreements (with no goods receipt posted or inspection lot created), which are scheduled for source inspections at the vendors. A source inspection is initiated and supervised by the customer, ordering party or his representative. A source inspection can be carried out by:
The party receiving the goods or services
The vendor, in the presence of the recipient
A third party empowered by the recipient
Prerequisites
When the system generates a worklist for source inspections, it only considers materials and vendors for which:
Quality information records exist (these records specify a source inspection as the inspection type).
The inspection type has been defined and activated in the material master record.
Features
When you generate a worklist for source inspections, the system considers a period during which the inspection must be performed (including the lead time defined in the quality information record).
Triggering Source Inspections Manually:
You can manually generate a list of materials that are defined for a source inspection. If you want to use the same selection criteria more than once, you can define a report variant. Use the following steps to execute Source Inspection Manually:
1.Choose Logistics ® Quality management ® Quality inspection ® Worklist ® Inspection lot creation ® Source inspection ® Trigger manually.
The screen for entering selection criteria appears.
If you define a report variant using the user's logon name or a predefined name in Customizing, the defined selection criteria are automatically displayed. If you defined a report variant using a miscellaneous name, choose Goto ® Variants ® Get to call up the report variant.
2.If you did not define a report variant, enter the desired selection criteria (for example, vendor, material and plant).
The system provides default values for the planned delivery date and opening period. You can change these default values.
3.Choose one of the following options to generate the selection list:
Program ® Execute
Program ® Execute and print
Program ® Execute in background
The system creates a list of materials that are defined for a source inspection.
4.There are the following options:
Create an inspection lot for an item in the list
Display the scheduling agreement (purchase order) for a material
Display the quality information record for a material
Job Planning and Execution:
You can use the job planning and execution functions to trigger a source inspection automatically at predefined intervals
