34. Maintain packaging specification


Maintain packing requirements for product.


35. Transaction data:  Now we will the inbound flow for EWM-QM in S.4hana 1709 system.


Create Inbound Delivery.





Check PRDI for IBD and packing information.



Create warehouse task for the IBD.





Now go /SCWM/MON and check if the open unload task is available for confirmation.

Confirm in the background. GR will also be posted.

We can also observe the stock category and inspection lot



We can also check the inspection lot details in QA32/QA02.



Once unloading task is confirmed we can observe the Quality task got opened.  Confirm it to start the inspection process.



We can observe the GR posted.



After confirming the 2nd warehouse task final putaway task is still showing in waiting.  It will be opened when the inspection process is completed.

So stock is still in Q4 status.



Check QA32 for inspection lots created for this material and initiate the usage decision for it.



Here once we give the UD code as accepted, click on EWM inspection to check the details.



Another screen gets opened(/SCWM/QINSP_S4), here select the line item and click on Close HU and Save.



Once fllowup action given, close the HU.





We can also see the open warehouse tasks which are pending for usage decision in /SCWM/QINSP_S4.



Now refresh the MON and see if the waiting task is open

Here we can observe Posting change happened to Q4 TO F2. Final task opened with Stock status F2.



Confirm the warehouse task



Final dashboard of monitor



Inspection Lot details can be seen in QALS table.



Check MMBE



We can see the material document created for stock change(PCN-321) and the goods receipt posting 101 movement also can be observed.



Conclusion:

Some time back when one of my client asked to show demo in S/4system about QM inspection process, I struggled a lot to build the end to end flow and not found much information in any website.

Considering that in mind, I want to share the process I built for my client.  This may not be the only process we can build but, using this as a reference you can build more complex scenarios based on your client's requirement.

 

Thanks,
