Summary
Source inspections are performed upon request and with the participation of the customer generally in suppliers place. A source inspection can be executed by the receiver of the goods, the supplier in the presence of the receiver or by third party. Goods receipt inspections are performed after receiving the goods at customers place. Till the inspection process completes the goods will be under inspection stock. Once the inspection process completes and approves, the goods is moved to unrestricted stock. The system can automatically create an inspection lot when a goods receipt is posted in the system. A goods receipt can be posted internally (for example, from production to the warehouse) or from an external source (for example, from a vendor). In SAP Quality Management, Goods Receipt Inspection and Source Inspection for procurement have the below features: Inspection Lots are created either before goods receipt or after goods receipt. While processing the inspection lots the material will be in Quality inspection stock. After inspection lots accepted, the material is posted to unrestricted use Source inspection lots can be created using batch jobs Author: Venkata Duvvuri
