Quality Management plays a key role in the warehouse for different business like pharmaceutical,Bevergaes and FMCG.
The Main purpose of the blog is to explain about EWM-QM Configuration setup and transaction processing with one example
To achieve this we have to go with following steps
1)Create a Material Master with Quality Management and Inspection type
2) Define External Storage Process Steps
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
11)Define and Activate Warehouse-Dependent IOTs
12)Define Quality Inspection Group
13)Maintain Follow-Up Actions
14)Maintain Inspection Results
15)Testing

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 .
