Definition

Use

If inspection stock exists for a material and this stock is not managed by inspection lots, you cannot simply activate a stock-relevant inspection type, because this can lead to stock inconsistencies between the Materials Management (MM) and Quality Management (QM) components. You can avoid these stock inconsistencies by creating inspection lots when the inspection type is activated.

This indicator controls system behavior as follows:

  • If you do not set this indicator, the material is only processed if no stock inconsistencies occur between QM and MM (without the creation of additional inspection lots).
  • If you set this indicator, inspection lots can be generated, if necessary, to avoid stock inconsistencies. The inspection type is then copied from Customizing.

Dependencies

If this indicator is set, take note of the following:

  • For all plants that you want to process, enter an inspection type that is assigned to inspection lot origin 08 in Customizing.
  • Make sure that default values are entered for this inspection type in Customizing. The indicator "Post to inspection stock" must be set and a quality score procedure must be entered.

If one of these two prerequisites is not fulfilled, the system responds as if the indicator were not set.

Example

There is quality stock for the material to be processed and processing is to result in the activation of the first stock-relevant inspection type for the material.

  • If the indicator is not set, the system does not allow you to process the material, since this would lead to stock inconsistencies between MM and QM. The materials that cannot be processed appear in a list.
  • If the indicator is set, inspection lots are created in the background covering the current quality stock and the inspection type is activated. The inspection lots created appear in a list.

You can use this indicator, for example, if Inventory Management is used in your company and QM is to be installed. Your inspection type is also activated if there is quality stock. If, however, you do not set this indicator, the inspection type is not activated in some cases.
