Hi All
In this blog, I would like to explain the Quality Inspection configuration in EWM.
Helpful Reading:
- EWM 100 and EWM 120
- SAP Help - EWM QM
Configurations needed in EWM and ERP:
Please see steps in SAP Help Customizing Settings for QM in EWM - Quality Management (QM) - SAP Library
EWM Configurations in Detail:
Warehouse Independent/Global Configurations:-
Define external QM system (assuming business system for ERP is already defined) --> In case if you want to perform QI in EWM alone, skip this step.

Testing the configurations made:
1. Create inbound delivery in ERP and Distribute it to EWM.
2. Inbound delivery will be created in EWM automatically.
3. Unload and Post GR in EWM, QI document will be created in background. To validate this check the system logs in ECC and EWM.
ECC Logs:

EWM Logs:

For IOT-4, inspection document follows below statuses
- Created - at inbound delivery creation
- Released - after GR posting, notifies ERP
- ERP creates inspection lot
- Notifies QIE in EWM with lot# (event type linkages & BADI should be in place)
- Updated - EWM inspection document will be updated with inspection lot
