Advanced Returns for Suppliers with EWM inspection doc.

Hi

I am working on an Advanced Return Management for Vendors and I am hoping someone can give me some more details on this process.

I am having an issue completing the SAP recommended Variant #2 to work with inspection originating in EWM and updating ERP.

Area of interest

• Variant 2: During the goods receipt process using EWM/Quality Inspection Engine (QIE) functionsThe returns stock items that arrive in the goods receipt area and your work centers are inspected in EWM. Simple logistical follow-up actions like putaway or scrapping can be performed directly in EWM. For more complex follow-up actions the responsibility for the follow-up actions can be transferred to ERP. The processing of follow-on documents in EWM, which are created in ERP, finalizes the inspection.

Steps

1. Create Purchase Order with UB2 type- Enhanced Rets. STO in ERP with follow up activity type "004-materials posted to returns stock in another plant.  Confirmations are set to "Z004" inbound delivery STO.  Delivery type configured as LLR

2. Create Outbound Delivery in ERP

3. Perform GI in EWM with handling unit from plant A

4. Inbound Delivery Created for plant B

5. Inspection Document created for Material inspection in t-code MSR_INSPWH

However, I want to use variant 2, and perform inspection in EWM.

6. Upon Goods receipt in EWM and Inspection document is created.

I can trigger inspection in EWM with Inspection Object type 3. I have set to decide and save and catalog decision codes are aligned between EWW and ERP.

The Inspection document created in ERP is not linked to the QIE inspection doc. in EWM.  My decision code data is not passing between the systems.  Purchase order does not update the inspection doc on the Returns Overview and MSR_INSPWH is still in open status.

Purchasing document does not reflect Inspection Document until inspection document has been saved and confirmed from MSR_INSPWH transaction.  This is happening manually but I think the data should be passing from EWM.

Can anyone provide me guidance in this process to see where I have missed some config?

I want to inspect a returned item in EWM and pass decision back to advanced Returns functions to ERP.

Thanks, Lori
