Storage Transfer Inspection

An inspection lot in SAP S/4HANA Quality Management (QM) is a record that represents a specific quantity of material designated for quality inspection. It serves as a central element in managing and documenting the quality inspection process, encompassing details such as the material to be inspected, inspection specifications, and the inspection results.

Lifecycle of an Inspection Lot:

  1. Creation: An inspection lot is generated in response to specific events, such as:
    • Posting a goods receipt for a purchase order.
    • Releasing a production order.
    • Manually initiating an inspection for existing stock.

    •  
  2. Inspection Plan Assignment: The system assigns relevant inspection specifications based on predefined criteria, ensuring that the correct procedures and parameters are applied to the inspection lot.

  3.  
  4. Sample Size Determination: The system calculates the sample size required for the inspection based on the assigned sampling procedures.

  5.  
  6. Result Recording: Inspectors record the outcomes of the inspection, noting both quantitative measurements and qualitative observations.

  7.  
  8. Defect Recording: Any defects identified during the inspection are documented, including detailed descriptions and, if applicable, defect codes.

  9.  
  10. Usage Decision: Based on the inspection results and recorded defects, a decision is made regarding the disposition of the inspected material, such as releasing it for use, requiring rework, or rejecting it.

  11.  
  12. Follow-Up Actions: Depending on the usage decision, subsequent actions are triggered, which may include inventory postings, notifications to relevant stakeholders, or initiation of corrective measures.
Understanding the lifecycle of an inspection lot is crucial for effectively managing quality inspections within SAP S/4HANA, ensuring that materials meet the required quality standards before progressing through the supply chain.
