In decentralized SAP EWM with QM integration, the process of setting up quality inspections can be streamlined as follows:

D. Create the inspection setup in the material master and distribute it to create the quality inspection rule:

The inspection setup is maintained in the material master in the ERP system.

Once created, it is distributed to SAP EWM to automatically generate the corresponding quality inspection rule, simplifying the overall process.

Incorrect Options:

A: The quality inspection rule cannot be created first and then distributed to the material master.

B, C: These refer to specific inspection object or type configurations but do not simplify master data creation.

For goods receipt (GR) posting in SAP Embedded EWM for external procurement, the following options are available:

B. Use the ERP Inbound Delivery to Post Goods Receipt:

The GR can be posted in the SAP ERP system using the inbound delivery created in ERP.

This process is integrated with EWM, where the data flows back to reflect the warehouse operations.

D. Use Synchronous Goods Receipt Where You Post the GR in EWM:

The GR is posted directly in EWM, and the system synchronously updates the ERP system.

This approach ensures real-time data consistency between EWM and ERP.

Incorrect Options:

A: Synchronous GR in ERP is not a standard option for embedded EWM.

C: EWM inbound delivery does not directly post GR; it facilitates warehouse processing.
