EWM & QM integration - Quality inspection after GR Posc & StorageSearch Blog 6

[RaghavanKathamuthu]

Intro:
Not new. But help someone to know QM EWM Integerations
Overview:
On this blog will show you how we can use Process oriented storage control for doing quality inspection in EWM for an normal Purchase order. Here the idea is we will receive the material in Door then move it to staging area, then to Inspection workcenter in Warehouse and then to the bins in Rack of warehouse.

DR01-01 (Door) ----> GR01-01 (Staging area)-------> QINS-01 (Inspection)----------> RA01-01 (High Rack Warehouse)

Main part:
Configuration:
Define the UD code for EWM Inspection types at plant level. This is similar to QM ERP settings.
SIMG - Quality Management - Basic Settings - Maintain Settings at Plant LevelNote: Maintain PL selected set. Other wise UD code will not be shown in EWM inspection.
SIMG - Quality Management - Quality Inspection - Inspection Lot Completion - Edit Selected Sets for Usage Decisions

Generate EWM relevant QM inspection Types
SIMG - SCM EWM - EWM - Cross Process Settings - Quality Management - Basics and Integration - Generate Inspection Object Type Versions. Click generate new version to create IOT. Then this willa appear in next config.

Activate the IOT
Here for EWM we can activate the inspection types related to EWM.
SIMG - SCM EWM - EWM - Cross Process Settings - Quality Management - Basics and Integration - Maintain Inspection Object Types Version
Define & Activate warehouse dependent IOT
Here we can define how the inspection setup orgin to be decided. Either by rule or others.
SIMG - SCM EWM - EWM - Cross Process Settings - Quality Management - Basics and Integration - Define and Activate Warehouse-Dependent IOTs
Also We can decide which external step from POSC to be used here.

Maintain Follow Up action for EWM
Here we can define which followup action to be performed after doing UD. Followup action will trigger warehouse task and stock movement.
SIMG - SCM EWM - EWM - Cross Process Settings - Quality Management - Inspection Results - Maintain Follow Up Actions
We can define the actions to be performed on this actions

Define storage types:
We need to define storage types for Quality area to differentiate it from the other storage types.
SIMG - SCM EWM - EWM - Master Data - Define Storage Types
Create one Bin for QINS storage type in /n/scwm/ls01
Specify workcenter layout
This will decide which and all fields to be displaced in /n/scwm/tworkst tcode.
SIMG - SCM EWM - EWM - Master Data - Work Center - Specify Work Center Layout
Define Process Oriented Storage Control:
Here we can define the gates & process through which the material will go through from receiving till keeping it in Warehouse rack.
SIMG - SCM EWM - EWM - Cross Process Settings - Warehouse Task - Define Process-Oriented Storage Control
POSC
Define the storage processAssign storage process steps to it.
Define Quality Work center in EWM
This is a place in warehouse where quality team will keep and inspect materials.
SIMG - SCM EWM - EWM - Master Data - Work Center - Define Work Center
Define Bin for Quality Workcenter in EWM - /n/scwm/workst 
We need to assign a Bin to the Quality workcenter  
Define the Warehouse Process type for starting inspection with POSC
SIMG - SCM EWM - EWM - Cross Process Settings - Warehouse Task - Define Warehouse Process Type
Determine Warehouse process type:
SIMG - SCM EWM - EWM - Cross Process Settings - Warehouse Task - Determine Warehouse Process TypeMaintain the process type determination indicator in /n/SCWM/MAT1
Assign Default work ceter for warehouse Inspection
SIMG - SCM EWM - EWM - Cross Process Settings - Quality Management - Inspection Results - Assign Default Work Center for Inspections
Master data with EWM inspection type
Create material master in MM01 with QM inspection type 1701Define the Inspection rule for document types - /n/scwm/qrsetup
Define the putaway strategy using the below path
SIMG - SCM EWM - EWM - Goods Receipt Process - Strategies - Storage Type Search - Define Storage Type Search Sequence for Putaway. And in same menu do the below as well
Assign Storage Types to Storage Type Search Sequence, Define Putaway Control Indicator, Specify Storage Type Search Sequence for Putaway, Optimize Access Strategy for Storage Type Search: Putaway

Define the Stock Removal strategy using the below path
SIMG - SCM EWM - EWM - Goods Issue Process - Strategies - Specify Stock Removal Rules. And in same menu do the below.
Specify Storage Type Search Sequence, Define Stock Removal Control Indicator, Determine Storage Type Search Sequence for Stock Removal, Optimize Access Strategies for Stor. Type Determination in Stock Removal
Check the WOCR has been create or not in 
SIMG - SCM EWM - EWM - Cross Process Settings - Warehouse Order - Define Creation Rules for Warehouse Orders
Create one Purchase order in ME31N with confirmation. If confirmation is not there VL31N cannot be created.Create inbound delivery in VL31N.

Pack the Material in HU or else POSC will not be copied to EWM.Do Goods receipt in EWM via /n/scwm/mon.Before GR the stock type will be F1 and after GR the stock type will be changed to Q3.
Later create warehouse task using the followup on top if its not creating in background.

In Next screen click create and save

Then go back to /n/scwm/mon and select the Warehouse request and click warehouse task to get the task created as per POSC and confirm it.On Conforming it a new task will be create and the stock will be moved from GR01-01 to QINS-01Later go to QA32 and do UDLater in UD screen click EWM inspectionLater click continue instead of closing the screen. Then give the UD and save it.In EWM an another warehouse task will be created. At last you can confirm this to move the stock from QINS-01 -----> RA01-01Conclusion:
Hope this may help someone to learn. Will add the theory and Storage type search sequence for more Idea. Decentralised EWM configs

Great write up. Clean and clear!
