QM using EWM in repetitive manufacturing

54 Views Last edit Jul 31, 2023 at 07:17 PM 2 rev

In SAP S/4HANA Cloud, public edition, for REM (repetitive Manufacturing) you use MFBF app to post production. You can associate a quality control type 4 at this stage. It works well when you use MM storage location. An inspection lot is created and stock is in quality control stock.

When you use an EWM storage location, MFBF integration works well with EWM, but QM set-up is ignored and stock is posted in unrestricted stock, without inspection lot.

In scope items 3M0 and 3DV the process for discrete manufacturing is given (Delivery-Based Goods Receipt from Production) : Create an inbound delivery based on production order. At reception of inbound delivery, inspection lot type 17 will be created.

But what should be the QM process for repetitive manufacturing using EWM ? It is not decribed in 3M0 or 3DV scope items.

I tried to create an inbound delivery using the REM cost collector as order number, but I got error M7162

Diagnosis

The given order is a product cost collector. Orders of this category cannot be processed using Inventory Management functions.

Procedure

If you use the product cost collector in repetitive manufacturing, post the movement with the associated repetitive manufacturing function. If you use the cost collector with production orders, you can enter the relevant order and post the movement.
