Quality Management in Warehouse Management 

Purpose

This process covers the transport and placement in storage of the inspection lot and the sample within Warehouse Management (WM).

After posting the goods receipt, you can follow the sample as it is transported to the work center, while the remainder of the inspection lot is stored in the high rack storage area. The sample and inspection lot are "in quality inspection" and have not been posted to unrestricted use. After the usage decision has been made, the sample is placed in storage with the rest of the inspection lot. By consulting the storage location data, you can determine which purchase order and goods receipt posting the goods stem from and which inspection lot was used to inspect them.

If you want to continue directly with the process Acceptance Inspection (Simplified), after completing this process, use material QS8X20 instead of material QS6X20.
