SAP S/4HANA Embedded EWM-QM Integration Setup-1709

[hari_y11]

The main purpose of this blog is to share about EWM-QM integration setup and transaction processing with one example.

Typically all SAP folks seen about integration between WM and QM in ECC system, Integration between EWM and QM in decentral system.  But many has confusion about how EWM-QM solution works in Embedded S/4HANA system 1709 and above.

This blog will help to people who are working on S/4HANA 1709 and above implementation projects.

Below is the inspection process flow diagram at highlevel.  Below we will see all configuration requirements and transactional steps execution.

30. Create Warehouse Product

In this step the products (the actual products as well as the packaging materials) which are used in the business processes are initially created as EWM warehouse products.

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 2^nd 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.

Hi,

nice Instruction Guideline. It was very helpful. But during selecting the decission code I get an error Message e085(/scwm/qui_wrkst) in QINSP_S4, which is saying "Follow-up Code EWM_A is not valid".

We have also choosen the follow up action L  Usage Decision for Inspection Lot.



 

 

But in the coding I found  the following selection.

Class: /CL_QUI_INSPPLOT_S4

Method:get_fup_valueset



 

Can you help me ?

 

Thanks in advance

Hello Simon,

I got this error for some weeks too. You have to set code groups and selected sets for UD for partial quantities. Standard is UD1701 and UD1701P. Create Z1701P and maintain it under “Maintain Settings at Plant Level” in “PL Sel. Set” for ewm nspection type

[former_member614407]

thanks for the post. it is really helpful.

But I have a question for you. I have followed all your steps and found one problem in details of inspection lot, system is not able to determine EWM warehouse. I have checked mapping of ECC plant-storage location and EWM warehouse and other settings. if you have any clue, please reply.

 

thanks

Great blog. For consignment stock how would you automatically differentiate regular stock from K stock for the 1704 inspection method?

[pavan_kulkarni3]

Hello Harikrishna ,

It is a really amazing document . Helped me in learning EWM QM Integration part.  Appreciated ..

I'm getting one issue in my testing.

I did the entire configuration which is showing above. Unfortunately , When I complete the UD in QA32 , system is not triggering back to EWM to open the final Putaway task . Am I missing some configuration or technical stuff ? Looking for your help in this regards

[former_member341922]

Have you closed hu by clicking Ewm inspection in qa32? Then it will release the task for out away I guess...

[former_member653797]

You have chosen L as function follow up for your function. You need to choose T.

[former_member400913]

Dear HariKrishna Yerramsetti,

 

Very good topic, may I ask some questions. I want to reverse UD stock from EWM but stock not relevant, SAP note to reverse 175842 - Inspection lot: Reversal of goods movements from usage decision.

How I can solve this problem.

 

Thank You

[former_member689692]

Hello,

I think you have to use UD & Follow up Action for Partial Lot here. If you see in the blog - Author has used EWM_AP at /SCWM/QINSP_S4 screen. Also it is mentioned in SAP documentation under Procedure:

https://help.sap.com/viewer/9832125c23154a179bfa1784cdc9577a/2020.001/en-US/6abe45bfe9df426eaa482a61...

If you are working with the QM component, do the following:

1. On the SAP Easy Access screen, choose Quality Management  Quality Inspection  Inspection Lot  Usage Decision  Record.


2. Select your inspection lot and record the usage decisions for complete inspection lots.
   
   
   

   To record usage decisions for partial quantities of inspection lots, choose EWM Inspection. Then, on the Stock Items to Be Inspected screen, select the stock item, choose Action, and record the usage decision.

Hi HariKrishan,

Can we use 1701 with EWM 9.5 or only for S4HANA?

We have the same requirement but we have decentralize EWM 9.5  with ERP6  . Thank you!
