How emQC Quality Control Add-on connects to SAP Business One
SAP Business One add-on (vendor states SAP-certified)
The add-on runs inside Business One and links inspection plans to documents such as goods receipts and production orders. Ask Embee which transactions trigger an inspection, whether stock is held in a quarantine warehouse until acceptance, and how results post stock movements when material is accepted or rejected.
What data moves
| From | To | Data | When |
|---|---|---|---|
| SAP Business One | emQC | Item, batch, supplier and document reference for the receipt or production lot | Goods receipt, production receipt or manual inspection request |
| emQC | SAP Business One | Inspection result: accept, reject or conditional accept, with measured values | Inspector completes the check |
| emQC | SAP Business One | Stock disposition such as release to unrestricted stock or move to rejection | Result is approved |
Setting it up
- 1List inspection pointsDecide where inspections happen: incoming receipt, defined production steps, final release. Keep the first scope small.
- 2Define parameters and tolerances per item or groupWrite each check with a unit, target, tolerance and method, and assign it to items or item groups.
- 3Set up quarantine and rejection warehousesCreate warehouses or bins to hold material pending inspection and to separate rejected stock.
- 4Configure users and approval rightsSeparate who can record results from who can release stock.
- 5Train inspectors on the screensMake sure measuring tools, units and recording steps are consistent between shifts.
- 6Pilot on a few supplier itemsRun live receipts through inspection for a few weeks and tune the parameter lists.
What usually breaks
- !Inspection plans that are too long cause inspectors to tick through, which defeats the purpose.
- !Stock received before the quarantine process is in place can be consumed before inspection completes.
- !Batch handling must be on for items that need lot-level traceability, or results cannot be tied to a lot.
- !Rejected material without a clear next step, such as return to supplier or scrap, sits in limbo.
- !Tolerances stored as text instead of numeric values prevent automatic pass or fail decisions.
A private AI layer across both systems
Supplier quality summaries
A private assistant reading Business One receipts and inspection results can summarize reject rates and top failure parameters by supplier, ready for a supplier meeting.
Quarantine and aging review
It lists lots waiting for inspection or disposition too long and drafts reminders for the quality team.
Trend flags on measured values
It highlights parameters drifting toward tolerance limits across lots, so quality staff can investigate before rejects occur.

Machine Shop Inspection Checklist (Incoming, In-Process, Final)
A tickable machine shop inspection checklist for incoming material, first piece, in-process checks and final inspection, with critical items flagged. Export the result.
When something else fits better
- Ecosire's quality add-on for Business One is another option, with a focus on certificates and CAPA ageing.
- A dedicated QMS with CAPA and audit management is better if you need broader compliance, such as ISO 9001 or AS9100 workflows.
- For simple incoming checks, a checklist in a user-defined table and a quarantine warehouse may be enough.
Frequently asked questions
Which inspection types does emQC cover?
The vendor describes incoming, in-process and finished goods inspections with defined parameters and scenarios. Check how each type is triggered in Business One and whether your production steps are supported.
Is it SAP-certified?
The vendor states it is SAP-certified. Confirm with Embee which Business One versions the certification covers, since certification is tied to specific releases.
Does it replace a full QMS?
Not necessarily. It handles inspections inside the ERP. If you need document control, audits and a full CAPA process, you may add or choose a dedicated QMS and connect it to Business One.
How can AI support quality teams here?
A private assistant can read inspection results and Business One transactions on your own infrastructure to summarize supplier quality and flag aging holds. It suggests actions, and quality staff approve anything that changes records.
