This graphic is explained in the accompanying text Before Usage Decision: Sample Destroyed  Locate the document in its SAP Library structure

You decide to put away the inspection lot in WM-managed storage before you have made the usage decision in Quality Management (QM). Since you are dealing with a destructive inspection, you book the sample quantity out of the warehouse stock following the quality inspection.

Prerequisites

You use the application component Quality Management (QM).

You have set the indicator Dyn. Bin material doc for the selected requirement type in the Customizing for Warehouse Management under Activities → Transfers → Define Requirements Types.

Process Flow

  1. You post the goods receipt for the purchase order in the inspection stock (stock category Q) in Inventory Management (MM-IM).
  2. When the goods receipt is posted in MM-IM, a transfer requirement 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".

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

  3. You create a transfer order (TO) for the putaway based on the transfer requirement.
  4. When creating the transfer order, you decide what should happen to the sample quantity.

    5. Example

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

  5. 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.

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

  6. You put away the inspection lot with the putaway TO, apart from the inspection sample.

    7. In doing so, the system transfers the inspection lot number to the quant information of the quants that have been put away. All of the quants for the inspection lot have the stock category Q (inspection stock).

  7. You make a usage decision in QM.

    8. Example

    An inspection sample of 10 pieces of the material is destoyed. You release the remaining quantity of the inspection lot (90 pieces) to the unrestricted-use stock.

  8. You make a transfer posting of the remaining material stock in MM-IM, from inspection stock (Q) to unrestricted-use stock (blank).
  9. You create a transfer order for the posting change notice in the WMS.
  10. The WMS changes the stock category of the inspection lot quants that have been put away from inspection stock to unrestricted-use stock.

    11. Note

    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 processes the inspection sample diaolg box in the background.

  11. In IM, you post a goods issue of 10 pieces of the material for the inspection sample.
  12. The WMS cancels any existing transfer requirement for putting away the sample and reduces the quantity of the inspection lot quant to the goods receipt interim storage area by the quantity of the inspection lot quantity of 10 pieces.

Result

You have put away the material received before the quality inspection. After the quality inspection, you have put away the inspection lot in WM-managed storage, apart from the destroyed sample quantity.
