Ans:
Inspection type 05 is a stock relevant inspection type. Standard SAP used 06, a non-stock relevant inspection type.
To use 05 you must assign the 05 inspection type to the delivery item in configuration.
QM --> Quality Inspection --> Inspection Lot Creation --> Inspection at Shipping
Then select "Assign inspection lot origin to Delivery type"
For returns you will set LR to 05.
Q2) Explain this: Inspection lot origins 02 03 06 07 10 11 are non stock relevant and 01 is stock relevant.
Ans:
1) 01, 04, 05, 08 - Stock relevant inspection type means when GR (or any event) takes place stock will move to quality stock. QM stock has to be cleared to unrestricted so that the stock can be used for other process.
2) 02 Inspection type - Inspection lot created for goods issue. In this type of lot no stock is available in quality. It only helps you in recording results. It won’t stop any processes.
3) 03 Inspection type - This is used for in process inspection. This is used only to record in process characteristic and confirm the quantities. You cannot control the stock as the entire thing will be WIP.
4) 06 - Inspection for returns from customer - This type of lot will help you in recording results , but will not have any stock control in it. It won't stop any processes related to customer returns.
5) 07 - Audit inspection for a vendor - This type is used for auditing vendors. so no question of stock arises.
6) 10 - For delivery- this type controls the delivery
process but you cannot control any stock. You cannot say here that in the
inspection quantity of 100, 10 is ok, 90 is rejected. You can reject the
delivery as a whole as accept it an whole.
Please do not confuse it with non stock item. Non stock item is a material type as you know.
Non stock inspection types are mainly used to record values and not for controlling the process.
