Final confirmation of prod.order shows in inspection lot

Have anybody encountered a following problem (version 4.6C):

Production confirms production orders using tra CO19 Time event. Quality department has their inspection lot with type 04 and EARLY lot creation, i.e. only one inspection lot for the prod. order unless batch and/or storage location is to be changed.

Sometimes (too often) the planned amount of the production order and the actual amount are not equal and hence Quality dep. doesn't know when to make UD.

Is there any way that system can be set to notify (user status ?) QM people when prod. order status is CNF --> inspection lot status is xxx ????

Any help is highly appreciated.

---------------------------------------------------------

I don't see your business point of view but I assume that you do not want to make UD before production confirmation. Am I right? In that case you can make UD with transaction QVM2 i.e only confirmed inspection lots are listed.

---------------------------------------------------------

QVM2 doesn't work since it doesn't separate inspection lots (or actually production orders) which supposed to have more goods from those which are ok. Only those inspection lots created by production orders which have FINAL confirmation status should be included - not the partial confirmation.

---------------------------------------------------------

There is no link between the order status and the inspection lot status. Since you are working with early lot creation though, once the GR is made there will be an automatic change to the lot status to SPRQ (assuming you are posting to QI stock). Again, this not tied to the production confirmations, but if you are using auto GR with confirmations, might be useful.

Reading you post, looks like the samples are sent to QC upfront during the production process. They finish testing and await the confirmation and the GR to make the UD. In this case, watching the SPRQ status will help.
We actually worked around similar requirement by building a selection profile for the inspection lot that includes lots that have SPRQ and have been inspected.
If you really need to link order status = CNF to a status in the inspection lot, you will have to build an enhancement within the confirmation process.
