Goods Receipt for Inspection

Purpose

Goods that are delivered from an external supplier or from the company's own production department

can be posted first into stock that is scheduled for inspection. Goods that are first posted into inspectionstock are not available for use.

Prerequisites

The goods receipt for an inspection is identical to a goods receipt based on a purchase order, with one

difference. On the IM item overview screen, you must make sure that the inspection indicator for the

stock type (the T  column) is set. When the indicator is set, the quant that is posted to the interim

storage area and the transfer requirement that is created both have the value Q  in the Stock Category

field.

To ensure that the inspection indicator is always set on the item screen, set the inspection indicator

  in the material master record

  when you create a purchase order

Process Flow

Receiving Material into Inspection Stock

1.  You process inspection stock initially in the Inventory Management component by creating a

goods receipt for a purchase order.2.  In the standard system, with movement type 101 the goods are moved to the interim storage

type 902 (GR Area). The goods are assigned to a storage bin that has a dynamic coordinate,

which can be the purchase order number or another document number.

3.  In addition to posting the stock to the goods receipt area, the system generates a transfer

requirement.

4.  The system sets the stock category for the quant and the transfer requirement to Q (Quality

Inspection).

5.  In WM, you use the transfer requirement to create a transfer order to place the goods into the

warehouse. For this procedure, see steps 4 through 8 in the section Posting a Goods Receipt

Based on a Purchase Order. 

Although the material is in the warehouse, it cannot be removed from stock for a goods

issue. Because the material has a stock category of Q, it does not belong to the available

stock.

Releasing Material from Inspection Stock

Purpose

After a material in the warehouse has been inspected, it should be released from inspection stock and

made available for general use.

There are two different scenarios.

  The material has been moved from the interim storage area for goods receipts into the

warehouse, that is, a transfer order has been created to transfer the quant to a storage bin.

For example, 100 pieces of material L3-001 (a quant) have been moved from the interim storage

area for goods receipts to storage bin 01-03-32 in high rack storage. The quant, which can be

identified by a goods receipt number, has the stock category of Q.

 Some of the material has been moved from the interim storage area into the warehouse, that is,a transfer order has been created to transfer the quant to a storage bin. The rest of the material

stays in the goods receipt interim storage area.

For example, 50 pieces of material L3-001 (a quant) have been moved from the interim storage

area for goods receipt to storage bin 01-03-32 in high rack storage. The remaining 50 pieces stay

on the interim storage area. Both quants, which can be identified by a goods receipt number,

have the stock category

of Q.

Process Flow

For the following example we discuss only the first scenario, that is releasing stock from

inspection that is already in the warehouse.

Tasks in IM

Releasing Stock from Inspection in IM 

Tasks in WM

Once stock has been released from inspection in Inventory Management, you create a

transfer order in WM using a posting change notice as the basis for the transfer order.

(For stock in which no QM components are active, it is also possible to release stock

from inspection entirely within WM.)
