Quality inspection holds and EWM–QM integration loops
Inspection holds are correct when risk is unknown — but loops happen when QM and EWM disagree on lot status, quantity, or movement allowed.
Meaning
QM drives inspection lots and usage decisions; EWM executes physical moves. A loop means the usage decision does not unlock the warehouse state operators expect.
Likely business context
Pharma and food-adjacent FMCG are sensitive; agriculture chemicals and lubricants often need strict lot control.
Resolution path
- Confirm inspection lot linkage to stock and open warehouse tasks.
- Check usage decision against stock type and whether posting is allowed to destination bins.
- Trace partial quantities across split lots and duplicate document lines.
- Align master data for inspection points and control keys after material changes.
When to escalate
Quality assurance owns policy; IT fixes integration. Custom QM–EWM enhancements require ABAP and process joint sessions.
