Explanation

A) An inspection lot can be generated when releasing a Production Order.

This statement is TRUE. You can generate an inspection lot when you release a production order. When you release a production order, the system automatically creates an inspection lot for the order. This inspection lot contains all the inspection characteristics that are defined for the material and the plant. By generating an inspection lot, you can ensure that the quality of the material is checked before it is released for production.

Example: Let's say you work for a company that produces electronic devices. Before the production process can begin, you need to make sure that the electronic components meet the quality standards. You can generate an inspection lot when you release the production order, which will then check the quality of the components before they are used in production.

B) Customer returns can be subjected to Returns inspection.

This statement is also TRUE. You can subject customer returns to returns inspection. This means that when a customer returns a product, you can inspect it to determine the cause of the problem and take appropriate actions. By inspecting the returned product, you can identify quality issues and take steps to prevent similar issues in the future.

Example: Let's say you work for a company that produces clothing. A customer returns a shirt because the color faded after one wash. You can subject the returned shirt to returns inspection to determine why the color faded. You may find that the fabric was not properly treated before dyeing, which caused the color to fade. You can then take steps to ensure that the fabric is properly treated before dyeing in the future.

C) You can activate to create a QM Notification during Usage Decision in QA11.

This statement is TRUE as well. You can activate the option to create a QM notification during the usage decision process in QA11. This means that when you make a usage decision for an inspection lot, you can create a QM notification if there are any quality issues with the material. By creating a QM notification, you can initiate an investigation into the cause of the quality issue and take appropriate actions.

Example: Let's say you work for a company that produces food products. You receive a shipment of raw materials that are supposed to be organic. When you inspect the materials, you find that they contain traces of pesticides. You can make a usage decision for the inspection lot and create a QM notification to initiate an investigation into why the materials contain pesticides. You can then take appropriate actions, such as returning the materials to the supplier or finding a new supplier.

D) Physical samples are only relevant when Production Order.

This statement is FALSE. Physical samples can be relevant in various scenarios, not just during production orders. For example, you can take physical samples during incoming inspection to check the quality of the material when it arrives at the warehouse. You can also take physical samples during in-process inspection to check the quality of the material during the production process.

Example: Let's say you work for a company that produces pharmaceutical products. You receive a shipment of raw materials that will be used to produce medication. You take physical samples during incoming inspection to check the quality of the materials. You find that the materials do not meet the quality standards, so you reject the shipment and return it to the supplier. Taking physical samples during incoming inspection helped you identify the quality issue before the materials were used in production.

E) An inspection lot can control Payment block.

This statement is FALSE. Inspection lots are used to check the quality of materials or products, but they do not control payment blocks. Payment blocks are used to prevent payments from being made for certain invoices or purchase orders until specific conditions are met.

Example: Let's say you work for a company that buys raw materials from a supplier. You receive an invoice for the materials, but you find that the materials do not meet the quality standards. You can place a payment block on the invoice until the supplier replaces the materials with higher-quality ones. This prevents your company from paying for the substandard materials.
