• Key Concepts: 
  Inspection property is a feature of SAP Extended Warehouse Management (EWM) that allows users to define and manage the inspection process for goods received in the warehouse. It enables users to define the inspection criteria, such as quantity, quality, and expiration date, and to assign different levels of inspection to different types of goods. The inspection property also allows users to set up automatic notifications when goods fail inspection.
  
  How to use it: 
  Inspection property can be used in SAP EWM by setting up the inspection criteria for each type of goods. This can be done by creating an inspection type and assigning it to the goods. The inspection type defines the criteria that must be met for the goods to pass inspection. Once the criteria have been set up, users can assign different levels of inspection to different types of goods. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When setting up an inspection type, it is important to consider the cost of inspecting each type of goods. If the cost of inspecting a certain type of goods is too high, it may be better to assign a lower level of inspection or even no inspection at all. Additionally, it is important to consider the time required for inspections when setting up an inspection type. If inspections take too long, it may be better to assign a lower level of inspection or no inspection at all. 
  
  Related Information: 
  Inspection property is closely related to other features in SAP EWM such as quality management and quality assurance. Quality management enables users to define quality standards for goods received in the warehouse and quality assurance enables users to monitor and control the quality of goods received in the warehouse. Additionally, SAP EWM also provides features such as stock determination and stock placement which enable users to determine where goods should be stored in the warehouse and how they should be placed in storage locations.
