To perform explicit counting using the Quality Inspection Engine (QIE) in SAP Extended Warehouse Management (EWM) on SAP S/4HANA Cloud, Private Edition, the following elements are required:

Inspection Rule (A)

An inspection rule defines the criteria for triggering a quality inspection within the warehouse.

It is essential to configure the inspection rule in EWM to specify the characteristics of the inspection, such as document type, item category, and relevance to counting.

This rule acts as the basis for initiating explicit counting as part of quality management integration.

Work Center (C)

A work center in EWM is the physical or logical location where quality inspection activities occur.

For explicit counting, the work center must be configured to handle QIE tasks.

It serves as the location where warehouse staff can access and perform counting tasks, such as verifying quantities of materials against quality requirements.

Additional Considerations:

QM Integration (B):While quality management (QM) integration ensures alignment with quality standards, it is not a mandatory requirement for explicit counting in QIE but can enhance the overall quality process.

Sampling Procedure (D):Sampling procedures are used to define how samples are drawn for inspection but are not specifically required for explicit counting in this context.
