Question:
Hi all,
Here's the scene:
Through QS41 I have created a catalog, Y, for employees. The code groups are the different departments and the codes are different people in those departments.
The reason I created this was so that I can add this catalog to various inspection characteristics, so that I can generate a worker level report.
So, the end user enters the inspected and rejected qtyand the worker name from these catalogs, while doing in-process inspections using free inspection points.
First of all, I need to know, is there a better way of generating a worker level MIS, instead of through a catalog.
Second of all, if this is the way to go ahead, then I have a problem. Consider I recorded the name of a worker against a particular inspection point yesterday. Now, I pick this name in my report from table QPCT (joining it with QASR on code and code group). But if the worker is transferred, then in that case, I need to delete his name from one code group and add it to another. Now the name changes in QPCT also and if I want to see yesterday's report, his name won't show since it is not linked to the inspection point. So I will lose previous data for that worker.
What do I do?
Thanks,
Answer:
If your using inspection points, have the user enter their user ID into one of the text fields for the inspection point identifer.

Answer:
Yeah, but then in that case the end user will have to write the name instead of picking it out of a selected set.
Is there no other way to pick data besides a Catalog. Maybe something in HR data which contains the employee code and the employee name?
Thanks,
Answer:
Interesting thought there. I hadn't really considered it but SAP DOES have functionality to check in HR to see if a tech has the correct training or certification to perform a particular test.
I've never really set that up for QM techs, (I've heard of folks using it more for PM, like you must be a master electrican to inspect certain electrical panels or a particular piece of equipment).
You might be able to use a user exit some where that might be able to access HR at a particular step and populate data into the screen for you.
It might take some work to identify the right objects/exits etc...
Good Luck!!!! Let us know if you find something!

Answer:
I may have missed the point of the requirements here but...
Can you benefit from configuring Inspector Qualifications and then creating entries in QMTB Inspection method master record and assign these methods as requiring certain qualifications? MICs could be updated with the Method, right?
Then allocate the qualifications to the user's logon (HR?) -- gotta believe there may be some possibilities but this sounds like a fair amount of master data maintenance (ongoing).
All my work is in QNs right now so if I'm off the mark, please know I tried.
Answer:
Dear ,
From your post I understand you want to associate an Inspection Point's results with an Inspector, Right?
As Craig suggested why not use free Insp Points where in the Inspector's field can be an Input (if it differs from Login Id of the user).
You can have selection (F4) help for this by using a FM for this Insp point(QAPP_CUST_IP_F4 & QAPP_CUST_IP_CHECK) in SPRO . You maintain the usernames in a Ztable and restrict the user to select from this at the time of Insp Point Creation.
I hope I am not off the mark completely!
Answer:
Hi ,
You understood the requirement perfectly. But when I tried to search for the 2 FMs that u sent, it says they are not present. Maybe coz I am in 4.0B?
Do u know what to do in 4.0B for the same.
Thanks,

Good Luck!!!! Let us know if you find something!
Well just my luck !! .. the HR consultant quit yesterday.

Hi ,
Could you please tell me what FM should I modify for 4.0B version?
Thanks,
Answer:
Sorry Tanuj! Absolutely no idea about 4.0. May be forum veterans like Craig & DP can help?
Answer:
No 4.0 system here for me to check. My memory is lousy..
The key though is, if under the area where you configure free inspection points, do you have a place to enter in the function module name? I'm kind of thinking that in 4.6c there are four available fields for entering function modules.
1) Automatic creation of insp
2) Default for user fields in resul
3) Verification of user fields in resu
4) List of values for user fields in res
I'm thinking that maybe in earlier versions only the first two fields are available.

Answer:
Bad news for Tanuj...
This functioanlity (and therefore the function modules) does not exist in 4.0
You may have to resort to other options..
