Usage decision
This functional capability is used to constantly check the quality of the company’s products. Therefore
the inspection plans and characteristics are used. The inspection process mainly consists of the
following four steps:
• Inspection lot creation: in SAP QM, all quality inspections are based on inspection lots. These can
be triggered manually or automatically (e.g. at goods receipt from a purchase order, at goods issue
of a component, at a certain operation during production, etc.). The lots contain specific information
about the inspection size (e.g. based on the sampling procedure), inspection characteristics and
methods from the inspection plan or material specification, etc.
• Results Recording: After inspecting the products, the quantitative (e.g. width/height of a product)
and/or qualitative (e.g. color of the product) results of the predefined characteristics can be directly
recorded in the inspection lot.
• Defects recording: Defects can be recorded additional to the results recording. These defects are
also referenced to an inspection lot and contain information about any attribute of a
material/product/process that deviates from the defined characteristics. The defect recording can
be based on standardized codes that can be taken from the predefined inspection catalogs.
• Inspection lot completion: A completion of the inspection lot is necessary after results recording
to finally decide about the usage of a material. Depending on the usage decision, stock postings are
performed (e.g. to unrestricted-use stock, blocked stock, scrap, etc.). The usage decision also
influences the quality level and the quality score of a material or inspection lot
Creation of Inspection Plan
Note:The system uses inspection lot origin and the inspection type to determine how an inspection lot will be
created and processed. The inspection lot origins are predefined by SAP in Customizing for Inspection Lot
Creation. You cannot define your own inspection lot origins.

Choose the record Type The report category defines the form and content of
the defects data. It links a catalog profile
click on enter (schematized value list) to a confirmation profile
(recording form).
Click on Notification
The usage decision for an inspection lot confirms that all physical samples have been valuated and the inspection
has been completed. It also specifies whether the goods in the inspection lot have been accepted or rejected for
use. We can make the usage decision manually or the system can make the decision automatically.
