Explore the End-to-End Quality Management Process in SAP S/4HANA using a Procurement Scenario

Quality Management in SAP S/4HANA is tightly integrated with logistics and production processes to ensure consistent product quality throughout the supply chain. It enables organizations to plan, execute, and monitor quality inspections while controlling the movement and availability of materials based on inspection results.
In this live session, participants will explore the end-to-end Quality Management process in SAP S/4HANA using a procurement scenario as an example. The session provides an overview of how quality planning elements such as inspection characteristics and inspection plans define inspection requirements, how inspection lots are automatically triggered by logistical events such as goods receipt, and how inspection results lead to a usage decision that directly impacts material availability.
By understanding the interaction between quality planning, inspection execution, and usage decisions, participants will gain insight into how SAP S/4HANA Quality Management supports structured quality control and seamless integration with business processes.

After participating in this live session, you will understand:

• Explain the role of Quality Planning within SAP S/4HANA Quality Management.
• Describe how inspection types in the material master define when quality inspections are triggered.
• Identify the purpose of master inspection characteristics in defining inspection requirements.
• Explain how inspection plans structure and standardize quality inspection processes.
• Describe how quality planning elements enable the automatic creation of inspection lots during logistical events.
