Thanks to all for the information! It is greatly appreciated.
There are a couple of different scenarios you all have laid out. I want to clarify the objective. We want to ensure that all QNs that are associated with the production order are closed prior to the shipment.
What I've heard so far is that,
1. Use inspection type 10 and have shipping use an inspection plan.
2. Use a QIR
- I am currently unfamiliar with this functionality
3. At the time of production is completed, then GR the production into blocked or quality stock
4. Use independent batch characteristics
I will have to test each scenario as I am not the expert you all are but again all of the information is greatly appreciated.
