Making Mass Changes to the Inspection SetupThis transaction is to be used by the Master Data Maintenance person to change / update Inspection Types for the materials. This is a transaction to change / update the inspection type for large volumes of data though it may be used to change for individual materials also.

Prerequisites You must have edited the QM-specific data in the Quality Management view of the

material master. You can activate an inspection type under the following conditions:

- If it is not stock-relevant.- If it is stock-relevant and at least one active stock-relevant inspection type exists.- If it is the first stock-relevant inspection type and no inspection stock exists, or if you

set the indicator Activate despite insp. Stock. When you deactivate the last inspection type relevant to stock, there must be no

inspection stock for the material. To do this you must post the inspection lot quantities out of the inspection stock.
