From Master Data to Inspection: Understanding Quality Planning in SAP S/4HANA Quality Management

Quality Planning in SAP S/4HANA Quality Management defines the foundation for all quality inspections by determining what is inspected, how inspections are performed, and when they are triggered within business processes.
In this live session, we will explore the key elements of quality planning and how they interact to control inspection processes. The session provides an overview of how inspection types in the material master define when inspections are required, how master inspection characteristics specify quality requirements, and how inspection plans structure and standardize inspection procedures.
Participants will gain insight into how these planning elements are connected and how they enable the automatic creation of inspection lots during logistical events such as goods receipt or production.
By understanding the role of quality planning, participants will be able to see how master data drives inspection execution and ensures consistent and controlled quality processes in SAP S/4HANA.
