Auto inspection lot creation and Auto Usage decision for required parts

Objective:

This document is for creation of automatic usage decision upon specific business scenario.

In any business process regarding vendor transactions there will be trusted material in each transaction. There is a common scenario that need of QA inspection for this material from that particular vendor (or trusted vendor) is null. This scenario is not available or executed in standard SAP installation. The proposed approach as described below will allow businesses to go for automatic inventory update under specific conditions.  

Target Audience:

Both functional (MM & QM) and technical (ABAP developer) can use this document.

Requirement & Overview:

Normally vendor sends their finished goods as part of business process (like vendor consignment process). Later on, inspection will be done on the goods either manually or automatically by a third-party system. After the inspection is completed, they post the Goods receipt (GR) using the MIGO transaction. For trusted vendor and trusted material, inspection will be done automatically and MIGO is posted. (But, UD update must be done automatically)

Needs to be created or Pre requisites:

• Custom table ZAUTO_UD needs to be created. (To store trusted material and vendor details along with mapping them).
• Custom Function module ‘ZUPDATE_UD’ needs to be created. (To update Usage decision for inspection lot)

Technical design or steps to achieve a functionality:

In a standard SAP process, Inspection lot number (I-L no) and Material document number (M-doc-no) will be generated once MIGO is done. During Quality inspection, I.L no will be accepted in IL02 transaction.

In our customer business process as per business requirement, Quality inspection will be automated once M-doc-no is generated. To achieve this, we need to enhance the BADI "MB_DOCUMENT_BADI" in the interface “IF_EX_MB_DOCUMENT_BADI”.

BADI details:

Method:

Functionality:

     Implement below logic into method MB_DOCUMENT_BEFORE_UPDATE.

Get inspection lot number, material number and vendor number from the importing parameter of (XMSEG –QPLOS, XMSEG-MATNR, and XMSEG-LIFNR).

Call custom update Function module ‘ZUPDATE_UD’ using below parameters via Update task.(CALL FUNCTION 'ZUPDATE_UD' IN UPDATE TASK)

Below function module needs to be created:

Function module: ZUPDATE_UD

Description: UD update for inspection lot in MIGO

Importing parameters:

Function module: ZUPDATE_UD

     Check if material and vendor exist in custom table ZAUTO_UD. If material and vendor combination has found in the table then it’s a trusted transaction else normal transaction.

Note: Custom table ZAUTO_UD will hold the trusted material and vendor combination details.

If it’s a trusted transaction then call BAPI ‘BAPI_INSPLOT_SETUSAGEDECISION’ to updated Usage Decision as A (A = Accept) else don’t update.

Process Flowchart:

Additional information:

• We can use email functionality to trigger email to manager after User decision update.
• We can trigger workflow for approvals.
