The automatic creation of an inspection lot during the outbound delivery process in SAP S/4HANA is contingent upon two primary configurations. First, the system must be instructed at a process level to trigger a quality inspection. This is achieved in Customizing by assigning an inspection lot origin (e.g., origin 10 for deliveries) to the specific SD delivery type being used. Second, the specific material being delivered must be designated as relevant for this type of inspection. This is controlled in the material master's Quality Management view by activating the corresponding inspection type (e.g., inspection type 10). Both of these prerequisites must be fulfilled for the system to generate an inspection lot.

A. QM activation in the movement type is primarily for inspections triggered by goods movements in Inventory Management (e.g., goods receipt), not for inspections triggered by the creation of an SD delivery document.

D. The quality info record for Sales and Distribution (SD) is used for customer-specific QM controls (e.g., special inspection procedures), but it is not a fundamental prerequisite for the creation of the inspection lot itself.

Quality Management (QM)

Inspection Lot Creation:

Document: Inspection Processing in Sales and Distribution

Section/Content: The documentation specifies the prerequisites for triggering an inspection for a delivery. It explicitly states: "In Customizing for Quality Management (Inspection Lot Creation -> Inspection at Shipping)

an inspection type must be assigned to the delivery type. In the material master

an inspection type must be active for the inspection lot origin for SD." This directly supports answers B and C.

2. SAP Education Courseware S4525 (SAP S/4HANA Quality Management - 2023):

Unit: Quality Management in Sales & Distribution

Section: Inspection at Shipping

Content: The course material details the configuration steps. It shows the IMG path Quality Management -> Quality Inspection -> Inspection Lot Creation -> Inspection at Shipping -> Assign Inspection Lot Origin to Delivery Type

which confirms the necessity of linking the delivery type to an origin (Answer B). It also emphasizes that the material master must have the relevant inspection type (e.g.

10) activated in the QM view for an inspection lot to be created (Answer C).

Quality Management (QM)

Basic Data:

Document: Inspection Type

Section/Content: This document explains that for an inspection lot to be created for a specific business process

the corresponding inspection type must be active in the material master. It clarifies that the inspection type is the key link between the material and the inspection process defined by the inspection lot origin. This supports the criticality of Answer C.
