3) Define & Assign Storage Process Definition

4) Define Process Oriented Storage Control

5) Define & Determination of Warehouse Process Type

6)Maintain process type indicators and Quality Inspection group at product master level

7)Define work center for Quality Storage type(8020) and bin

8)Define Putaway Strategies

9)Generate Inspection Object Types Version

10)Maintain Inspection Object Types Version

We need to maintain quality inspection rule in sap easy access it’s a mandatory step

/SCWM/QRSETUP – Maintain Inspection Rule

15)Testing

Create a po and do the delivery

Go to /N/SCWM/PRDI to Process Inbound Delivery

Here we have selected “0” Means Inspection after Goods Receipt .Quality Inspection planned document got created

Check whether the HU has been triggered or not because we are using POSC with Quality

Ibd-follow on action-warehouse task

Create the warehouse task

Confirm the warehouse task .2 Warehouse tasks has been created because HU WT has been ticked in POSC at IB01 step

Confirm the warehouse order

Goto Monitor /n/scwm/mon

Now I will confirm the warehouse task from staging area to quality work centre

Here we can provide Usage Decision in QA32 please provide your plant details and execute it

Select your inspection lot and click on usage decision

Provide your usage decision code and select EWM Inspection

A new window will be open or (/N/SCWM/QINSP_S4) and provide decision and follow up action

Then close the HU

Once you close the HU then the usage decision for that LOT will be saved

Then one open warehouse task will be available for that the stock type Q3 will be converted to F1 stock type

Now you can confirm the open warehouse task

Please check the stock in Bin

Check in MMBE

Go to Inbound Delivery and view the Document flow

By above configurations and testing now you got an idea how to config QM with  storage processes with respective internal and external steps assigned to it .

 

Thanks for your patience to read my blog and give your valuable feedback

      Hi Saikiran,

       

      Thank you for this very detailed blog

      Could you tell me if you have been able to test the EWM_SCP and EWM_SMP follow-up action ? I tried on my side, unfortunately it did not work, no movement was generated😟 I wonder if it is not a standard problem?

      Thanks & regards

      Hi,

      for information note OSS SAP note 2973050  Remark: if you use decision codes EWM_SCP and EWM_SMP no reference document is allowed for the stock item. It means that the storage type in which you record the usage decision needs to be final.

      This restriction is planned to be removed in future.

      Hi,

       

      Is it possible to use more than 1 Quality Inspection Work Center?

      When I try to use additional QINSP Work Centers besides the one assigned in the "Assign Default Work Center for Inspections" customizing entry, the system does not allow me to proceed with the process, stating that the HU's are not in the Storage Bin that belongs to the default QINSP Work Center.
