Recurring Inspection (09 Type)
Business Consulting Ankit Sharma
Overview: Recurring inspection means inspection of the material at regular intervals like every
month, every year etc. The system can automatically create inspection lots at predefined intervals for
selected batch materials. You can plan such inspections by having the system monitor the date for a
recurring inspection. Recurring inspections are triggered by a report that you can execute manually or
that the system can execute automatically (provided it has been planned as a background job). When
recurring inspections are triggered automatically, the background job executes the report, which in turn
selects the batches and creates the inspection lots according to your processing parameters.
Recurring inspection process widely used in Process industries like Pharmaceutical, Chemical and
Food industries
Process Flow:
1. Activate Inspection type 09 in Quality Management View in Material Master
2. Inspection interval is Maintained in the Quality Management View in Material Master & Total
shelf life in Plant Data / Stor.1
3. Next Inspection date is updated in the Batch Master record when the GR (against a Purchase
Order/ against a Production order) is done
4. Execution of the Deadline monitoring Program – QA07
5. Automatic Inspection lot creation and Stock moved to QI
6. Results Recording and Usage decision of the inspection lot
7. Movement of the stock to Unrestricted Use.
Recurring Inspection Standard Concept for Raw Material:
We get Next Inspection Date as per Standard SAP i.e. GR date + Inspection interval for First Time.
At the time of Next inspection date, 09 inspection lot generate, UD given & new inspection date
calculate based on UD Code Date + inspection interval.
From second time it will follow UD Code Date + inspection interval.

For an Example:

Hands On:
1. Activate Inspection type 09 in Quality Management View in Material Master
T-code – MM01 / MM02

 Inspection interval is Maintained in the Quality Management View in Material
Master & Total shelf lifein Plant Data / Stor.1:

2. Create Process Order

Save Process Order.

3. Perform Good Receipt against Process Order

4. Check the Batch Master Data.
GR Date = 27.01.2017
Inspection interval = 365
Next Inspection = GR Date + Inspection Interval
Next Inspection (Recurring Inspection Date) = 27.01.2017 + 365 Days = 27.01.2018

Perform Usage decision of Inspection Lot.

5. Now when the material is received initially, quality inspection done and stock posted to
Unrestricted Use.
After completion of Usage Decision.

6. Execution of the Deadline monitoring Program – QA07 : This transaction is executed on daily
basis as a background job in the real time at Plant level. System will check for the next inspection
date in the batches and if that date matches with current date then system will move the stock of
the batch again to Quality inspection with generation of inspection lot for carrying out inspection
for analysts in QC department.
In our case when this dead line monitoring is executed on 11.10.2016 system move the stock back to
Quality inspection with generation of inspection lot as the next inspection date of the batch 11.10.2016 is
reached. Select the option To insp.stock at lot creation to move the stock from Un restricted use to
Quality Inspection on the selection screen on QA07 screen
Tu run a live scenario, just change the date of “Next Inspection Date”
Change it to - 27.01.2017, so that we can see trigreeing of Inspection lot 09.

Manually Run QA07.
Execute

Now check for the stock of the batch in MMBE. Stock moved to quality inspection.

Inspection lot created with 9 series to carry out inspection.
