You post the goods receipt of the purchase order in the inspection stock (stock category Q) in Inventory Management (MM-IM).

When the goods receipt is posted in MM-IM, a transfer requirement (TR) is created in the Warehouse Management system (WMS). A positive quant is created in the goods receipt interface at the dynamic coordinate "material document number".

The quant in the goods receipt interim storage area has stock category Q .

You create a transfer order (TO) for the putaway based on the transfer requirement.

When creating the TO, you decide what should happen to the sample quantity.

You decide that the sample quantity of 10 pieces should remain in the goods receipt interim storage area.

The WMS creates the transfer order for the remaining quantity of the inspection lot only. This means that a transfer requirement of 10 pieces (the inspection sample) remains open.

You can use this transfer requirement for putting away the inspection sample following the usage decision.

You make the usage decision in QM, after you have put away the all of the material except the sample quantity.

You release the total quantity of the inspection lot (100 pieces) to the unrestricted-use stock.

You make a transfer posting of the entire inspection lot in MM-IM, from quality inspection stock ( Q ) to unrestricted-use stock (blank).

Based on the transfer posting in MM-IM, the system creates a posting change notice in WMS. For more information, see Release from Quality Inspection Stock .

Create a transfer order for the posting change notice in the WMS.

The WMS changes the stock category of the inspection lot quant that has been put away and that of the inspection sample, which is still in the goods receipt interim storage area, from inspection stock to unrestricted-use stock.

If you activate automatic transfer order creation for the posting change movement type, the WMS creates the posting change TO automatically in the background, based on the usage decision.

However, the system can only create the posting change TO in the background if you have set the indicator Frgrnd/bckgrnd for sample dialog box to D in the Customizing for Warehouse Management under  Interfaces Define Quality Management , which defines that the system is to process the inspection sample dialog box in the background.

You create a transfer order in the WMS for putting away the sample quantity. In doing so, you use the transfer requirement for putaway that is still open, with the remaining sample quantity of 10 pieces.
