Certificate is received at goods receipt  In goods receipt posting, certificate receipt can be monitored:    If you confirm receipt of the certificate, the certificate status Received is set. If an inspection lot is created and no additional certificate check is required, the inspection lot status CROK (certificate receipt confirmed) is set.

At receipt of an electronic quality certificate as an IDoc with reference to delivery: Transfer of inspection results for certificate to a GR inspection lot or another inspection lot (for example, source inspection lot)  If you receive an electronic quality certificate as an IDoc with reference to a delivery, the data can be automatically transferred to an inspection lot for goods receipt using a background workflow. The prerequisite for this is that the IDoc has been received and the goods receipt has been posted.  If you want to manually transfer data to another inspection lot (for example, a source inspection lot), you can use the menu function Transfer quality data to inspection lot in the transaction for displaying or changing the certificate record. You can access the transfer log under Transfer log.
