Release From Quality Inspection Stock
Purpose
You hold received material for the quality inspection before you release it into unrestricted stock. In doing so, you allocate stock category Q to the material in Inventory Management (MM-IM). This means that the material is not available for removal from stock in the WMS.
If the release of the material from quality inspection stock is approved, post the material, either completely or partially as unrestricted-use stock.
Prerequisites
The material has stock category Q (quality inspection stock).
The material is put away in the WM-managed warehouse.
Process Flow
If you manage the material in Quality Management (QM), you can only release the material as the result of a usage decision.
Based on these posting activities, the system "moves" the restricted quality inspection stock to the logical interim storage area posting change area 922 and then "moves" it back into the warehouse as unrestricted-use stock. Physically, the stock remains in the same storage bin.
