The main purpose of this posting is to share about EWM-QM integration setup and transaction processing with one example.
Usual SAP Consultants are 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 posting will help to people who are working on S/4HANA 1809 and above implementation projects.

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.

Hi,
Have you tried to work with IOT 3 in 1709 and upper versions?
System does not allow you to generate this IOT, perhaps which is not necessary.
But under warehouse dependent inspection type set up, you are not able to choose origin of set up as "from material master" or "from inspection rule".
It stays as "Not relevant".
It is possible to create material inspection with Advanced return management however no inspection lot is getting created.
Hi:
Can you help me to how is the form to uploading mass inspection rule in the /N/SCWM/QRSETUP , i need to upload more than 3000 records that need use inspection rule of quality...
Do you know layout of mass uploading and program...?
Regards
Francisco Trevino G.
