Manual Inspection Lot

Purpose
This manual describes how to create a inspection lot manually

Scope
This manual limit to the explanation of creating an inspection lot only. The basic data required
to create a lot is explained separately.
Overview
Generally inspection lot will be created automatically by the system during certain activities of
MM (goods receipt) and PP (Production order release). Requirement to create manual
inspection lot arises only if you want to affect the vendors score and dynamic modification
level for line rejection or customer returns.
If you want to record defects during inspection and convert them into notification against the
Vendor then do that through manual lot and not in the original lot for line rejection/customer
return, as these original lots never refer to a vendor.

Event
Whenever inspection of a Line rejection or Customer returns lot reveals that the fault is with the vendor and
you want to impact the quality score and dynamic modification level for that material /Vendor combination,
then create a lot manually for the material/vendor combination. However the original lot for line
rejection/Customer returns will be created automatically whenever Stores make a stock posting.
