Use this activity to enter a default receive case, any default inspection code, and any internal inspection time for a particular combination of a supplier and a purchase part.
When establishing the supplier for purchase part connection, you also can specify a default receive case and any default inspection code. However, the Receive into Arrival receive case is used if you do not specify a receive case. This receive case and any inspection code is then indicated by default when the purchase order is entered. However, you can change receive case, inspection code, and any quantity to inspect directly on the purchase order line. The receive case and quantity to inspect can be modified in connection with the arrival registration.
There are five different receive cases from which to choose: 'Receive into Inventory,' 'Receive into Arrival,' 'Receive into Arrival, Inspect at Arrival,' 'Receive into Arrival, Inspect at QA,' and 'Receive into QA, Inspect at QA.' The receive case can be viewed as a guideline in the working process. However, since the receipt function aims to be flexible, many actions can be performed even if the current receive case does not include them.
When a receive case requiring inspection is used, you must also specify an inspection code. The inspection codes are defined in the Insp. Codes tab in the Procurement Basic Datawindow. The inspection type can either be a fixed quantity or a percentage. However, the fixed quantity and the percentage can be changed manually for this specific supplier for the purchase part relationship by changing the corresponding field.
An internal inspection time can also be specified. It is measured as a total number of working days based on the Distribution calendar, between the arrival registration and the time when the receipt is completed.
You can also specify the settings so that the combination of supplier, purchase part, and site require a control plan and an analysis. However, if they have already been specified at the part or site level in the Quality Basic Data window, they cannot be changed here.
The specified receive case and any inspection code is indicated by default when the purchase order is entered. The receive case functions as a guide for the working process. Any quantity to inspect is either calculated by a percentage or a fixed quantity.
The basic data settings for making a control plan mandatory, and creating an analysis mandatory in purchasing, for the combination of supplier, purchase part, and site can be changed. The Mandatory Control Plan and Mandatory Analysis check boxes will be selected accordingly. If the settings have been changed, they will be visible on the Quality Basic Data/Mandatory Part/Site tab.
