Quality Management - Warehousing inspection integration

If Quality inspections are applicable to an item, order, and/or business partner, both Quality inspections and Warehousing inspections are involved in the inbound and/or outbound inspection process.

In the Quality Management (QM) field of the Implemented Software Components (tccom0100s000) session, you can specify whether Quality is implemented. In the Quality Management Parameters (qmptc0100m000) session, you can specify the order origins for which you want to use Quality.

If Quality inspections are implemented and the Consolidate Stock Points in one Warehouse Inspection check box is selected in the Inventory Handling Parameters (whinh0100m000) session, the Quality inspection is created after the warehousing inspection is created and the entire order line for which the inspection was created has been:

If the Consolidate Stock Points in one Warehouse Inspection check box is cleared (and Quality inspections are implemented), the Quality inspection is created after the warehouse inspection is created. The warehouse inspection is created the moment part of the order line quantity is put away, confirmed or picked.

The Quality inspection is also created if the user clicks Set In Process in the Warehouse Inspections Overview (whinh3122m000) or Warehouse Inspection (whinh3622m000) session.

The settings in the Testing Combinations (qmptc0119m000) session determine whether the Quality inspections are leading in the inspection procedure. If yes, Quality inspection results are updated on the warehouse inspection and the warehouse inspection is processed when the Quality inspection is processed.

If no, the Quality inspection results are inserted as default values in the Warehouse Inspections Overview (whinh3122m000) or Warehouse Inspection (whinh3622m000) session. The user can adjust these results and process the warehouse inspection, which will also process the Quality inspection.

If Quality is used, LN creates a separate inspection for each combination of effectivity unit and engineering revision, regardless of the setting of the Consolidate Stock Points in one Warehouse Inspection check box. This is because Quality determines the test combinations for each combination of effectivity unit and engineering revision, and therefore requires an order inspection for each combination.

Quality does not store ownership data. Therefore, Quality inspection results could be updated to the wrong Warehousing inspection line if a warehousing inspection has multiple ownership records. To prevent this, a warning is displayed when Quality updates the inspection results on the Warehousing inspection. The user is then allowed to adjust the Warehousing inspection lines. This also applies if Quality is leading.
