Quality Inspection in drop shipment process

Introduction : In this post, I would elaborate about quality inspection process steps during Drop shipment process.

Main part:  In drop shipment process, Stock does not bring to plant premise. That deliver from supplier end to customer. So, in this case quality would inspect at supplier end.

Accordingly, goods receipt should not create inspection lot for post GR inspection at business premise.

Pre-requisites for this inspection process.

• Material master having QM view with inspection type “01”.
• Inspection Plan with usage 01 and release status.
• Quality info record with active source inspection for material, Plant and Vendor combination. This master data has major role to create source inspection and to restrict creation of lot after Goods receipt.

Below steps need to follow for inspection process.
