Sampling Procedure creation

 Sampling type - Defines how the samples are calculated

Valuation mode - Defines rules for accepting or rejecting characteristics or samples 

Both sampling type and valuation mode forms a sampling procedure

Hence Sampling procedure determines the rules to calculate samples and accept or rejects samples during result recording

Sampling procedure can be used at task list level or at material  level

In the material master QM view, the sampling procedure can be assigned but the cons of doing this is the sampling procedure that is assigned will be applicable to only that material

To create a sampling procedure, tcode used is QDV1

Steps to create:

• Enter the sampling procedure name
  
  
  
• Enter description, select sampling type and valuation mode. In this scenario I have chosen sampling type as 100% inspection, this means that if I receive goods of quantity 100 EA, then the inspection has to be carried for the whole quantity

  

  
  
• Create an inspection plan using tcode QP01 enter material, plant in the initial screen and press enter. System will determine the group

  

  
  
• Enter the usage of the inspection plan and the status should be released in order to use the inspection plan, if the plan is no longer in use then the deletion flag can be set. Enter from lot size and to lot size, this can be used when you want the system to assign inspection plan for different lot size. Next click on operations to assign MIC and sampling procedure

  

  
  
• In operations enter work center (A work center is a place where all the inspection activities such as testing, visual inspection, documentation, sampling activities takes place tcode to create CRQ1), Control key(QM01 - Internal QM operation - Used for lab testing, allows result recording) and select the operation and click on inspection characteristics
• 

  
  
• MAINTAIN QM SETTINGS FOR PLANT UK11 - I received this error while trying to assign MIC and sampling procedure. To resolve this, go to SIMG -> Quality management -> Basic Settings->Maintain Settings at Plant Level
• Then next enter MIC and sampling procedure to the plan and save

  

  
  
• System will ask to maintain target value, upper limit and lower limit here as I have selected incomplete copy model while creating MIC. Enter the details and save.

  

  
  
• Create an inspection lot and assign task list and samples to the lot in order to proceed with results recording and UD
• As we have set the sampling type as 100% inspection, the system will inspect the entire lot
