SAP Extended Warehouse Management (SAP EWM)PurposeExtended Warehouse Management (EWM) offers you flexible, automated support for processing various goods movements and for managing stocks in your warehouse complex. The system supports planned and efficient processing of all logistics processes in your warehouse.

Introductory NotesIf you manage your warehouse stocks using the application component Inventory Management (MM-IM), you manage the quantities and values of stocks in several storage locations. In contrast, EWM gives you the option of mapping your entire warehouse complex in detail in the system, down to storage bin level. Not only does this give you an overview of the total quantity of a product in the warehouse, but you can also always see exactly where a specific product is, at any time, in your warehouse complex. With EWM, you can optimize the use of various storage bins and stock movements, and can store together stocks from several plants in randomly-managed warehouse. Using EWM, you can control and optimize various processes in the warehouse.

IntegrationEWM is completely integrated into Inventory Management and Delivery Processing. Business processes, which you trigger in other application components, lead to physical goods movements in your warehouse. You organize, control, and monitor these goods movements using EWM.

FeaturesStorage Bin Management and OptimizationYou map the entirety of your storage facilities in EWM. You can set up different storage facilities such as automatic warehouses, high-rack storage areas, bulk storage areas, or fixed bin warehouses, in various storage types [Seite 25], according to your requirements. You manage the stocks at storage bin level. You can define these storage bins according to your own requirements. Every storage bin in your warehouse is mapped in the system. This enables you to constantly track all stock movements in detail. You can see exactly where a specific product is located in your warehouse. You can also use EWM to optimize storage bin management, since EWM takes on a large part of optimizing the products, so that each product is assigned to the correct storage bin, depending on its size and frequency of access. Inventory Management and EWM are fully integrated. Using the physical inventory procedures and the entry of stock differences, the system ensures that the book inventory balance in Inventory Management always matches the warehouse stock in EWM.

Goods MovementsYou process all goods movements that affect your warehouse using EWM, such as goods receipts, goods issues, stock transfers, and automatic replenishment. These movements can include goods receipts, goods issues, stock transfers, automatic replenishment, management of dangerous goods, layout-oriented and process-oriented storage control, effective work preparation using automatic wave pick creation, resource optimization using rule-based bundling of warehouse tasks, or processing of inventory differences in your warehouse. EWM optimizes warehouse capacities and material flows using putaway and stock removal strategies that you can adjust to your needs, or by you using handling units [Seite 490].

Work CenterYou can use the work center [Seite 35] to map a physical unit in the warehouse, which you use to carry out warehouse activities such as packing, deconsolidation, weighing, quality inspections, and counting. You can personalize each work center, so that each user sees exactly those fields, data, and tab pages that are necessary for their work.

Physical InventoryYou use physical inventory [Seite 667] to regularly perform a physical stock take in your warehouse. You compare the actual, existing, physical, stock with the data managed in EWM. By entering physical inventory differences, you update the accounting data for the stock, according to the results of the physical stock take. If you have performed physical inventory at least once in a fiscal year for each storage bin/each product, the physical inventory is classed as complete. If you use EWM, the physical inventory is performed at Warehouse Management level. You can perform a physical inventory based on products and/or based on storage bins. There is a difference monitor available, with configurable tolerance groups, which you can use to define maximum values for posting differences for each user. In addition, the system supports automatic posting according to time intervals, different priorities for each individual inventory procedure, a zero stock check, and a low stock check. The radio frequency functions are integrated into the physical inventory and support you when you perform the different physical inventory procedures, such as cycle counting, physical inventory during putaway, and physical inventory using zero stock check. Handling units are fully integrated into the physical inventory process.

Planning and MonitoringEWN gives you an overview of all goods movements and warehouse stocks. The system supports you in planning, monitoring, and optimizing work processes. For example, it gives you a preview of the workloads for the coming days, or enables you to take preventive action in critical warehouse processes, so that you can perform stock movements on time. The extensive monitoring functions give you a current view of all activities in the warehouse. You can control the actual work in the warehouse using the individual monitors.

Radio Frequency ConnectionTo structure the work in the warehouse efficiently and cost-effectively, you control the warehouse workers work steps clearly and simply via mobile radio-frequency terminals. The radio frequency connection [Seite 781] (RF connection) to mobile data entry achieves fast and accurate data transfer. The RF devices receive data directly from the SAP system and transfer data back to the system. You can enter and verify information using bar codes. This means that you ensure a high standard of quality in your warehouse.

Warehouse ControlEWM also contains an interface to external systems (warehouse control units). This enables you to integrate automated putaway and stock removal systems, or forklift control systems for all stock movements using this Application Link Enabling interface (ALE interface) in the warehouse management system.

Warehouse StructureBefore you implement Extended Warehouse Management (EWM), you must define the structure, meaning the physical structure, of your warehouse or warehouse complex and map this in the system. When you implement EWM, you define the individual warehouses (high-rack storage area, bulk storage area, picking storage area, and so on) as storage types within a warehouse complex, and join them together under one warehouse number. If other warehouses (storage types) exist that you do not manage using EWM, then you should define other storage locations. In EWM, you define storage bins for each storage type. EWM uses these to manage stock information about all products in the warehouse, at storage bin level.

The warehouse structure in warehouse management is divided hierarchically and consists of the following elements: Warehouse number In EWM, you can manage an entire physical warehouse complex using a single warehouse number. Storage type You can define the individual warehouse facilities or warehouses that make up the warehouse complex, using their technical, spatial, and organizational characteristics as storage types. Storage section Each storage type is divided into storage sections. All storage bins with specific common attributes belong to one storage section, for example, storage bins for fastmoving items that are close to the goods issue zone.

Storage bin Each storage type and storage section consists of a selection of storage compartments that are called storage bins in EWM. The coordinates of the storage bin tell you the exact position in the warehouse, where you can store products.

Quant The quant is used for inventory management of a product in a storage bin. Activity area The activity area is a logical grouping of storage bins. It can refer to a storage bin, or can concatenate bins from several storage types. You can either assign storage bins manually to the activity areas, or if there is a 1:1 relationship between storage type and activity area, you can have the system generate the assignment.

To map the structure of your physical warehouse in the system, you define the warehouse structures in EWM in Customizing. We recommend that you use the following sequence when configuring the warehouse structure in the system.

Warehouse NumberDefinitionIn Extended Warehouse Management (EWM), you combine an entire physical warehouse under one warehouse number. You can use the warehouse number to manage several storage facilities, which together form the complete warehouse complex.

UseThe organizational and physical attributes of a warehouse complex are collected together under the warehouse number. For example, the weight unit, volume unit, and time unit are defined at warehouse number level. You can also define determination procedures for palletization data and packaging specifications [Seite 494] here. You should not change these settings at a later time.

We recommend using one warehouse number for each group of storage areas or buildings (warehousing complex) in the same geographical area. If your warehousing facilities are located in different cities or are physically separated by a longer distance, it is appropriate to assign a separate warehouse number to each warehouse complex. For more information about defining a warehouse number, see the Implementation Guide (IMG) for Extended Warehouse Management under Master Data Define Warehouse Number Control. You must make a one-time assignment between the warehouse number and a supply chain unit [Seite 53] with the business character Warehouse as a continuous setting. For more information, see the IMG for Extended Warehouse Management under Master Data Assign Warehouse Numbers. Note, however, that you must make this assignment in the production system. For this reason, you should make this setting from the SAP menu under Extended Warehouse Management Settings Assignments: Warehouse Numbers/Business Partners. The supply chain unit contains essential information, such as country, region, and time zone. The system uses the time zone for the warehouse number when displaying all date and time fields. You can create a supply chain unit in the SAP menu under Extended Warehouse Management Master Data Maintain Supply Chain Unit.

As soon as you actively use a warehouse number, for example because you have already created a warehouse number product, you should no longer change the assignment of the supply chain unit to the warehouse number. Doing so can result in follow-on errors.

ExampleThe warehouse for company XYZ includes the following facilities: Goods receipt area Goods issue area Hall with high rack shelves Bulk storage area Activity areas of category Picking with Fixed Bins

Storage TypeDefinitionA storage type is a storage space, storage facility, or storage zone, which you define for a warehouse number in Extended Warehouse Management (EWM). The storage type is a physical or logical subdivision of a warehouse complex, which is characterized by its warehouse technologies, space required, organizational form, or function. A storage type consists of one or more storage bins. You can define the following commonly-used physical storage types in EWM: Bulk storage area General storage area High rack storage area Fixed bin storage area Rack storage area

UseThe storage types form the warehouse complex and can be located in one or more buildings. You manage all storage types under a single warehouse number. The standard system for EWM comes configured with several complete storage types that you can use straightaway. These include: High rack storage area Bulk storage area Fixed bin storage area General storage area Pallet storage area

These storage types have all been defined with different control indicators for putaway and picking.

You can use the standard storage types as the basis for your individual settings, or you can create your own storage types to meet the special requirements of your company. Defining Control Indicators in the Storage Type At storage type level, you must specify the control indicators that control the material flow (putaway and picking) in each storage type. These include the control indicators for: Putaway Stock removal (picking)

Some control indicators for storage types are mutually exclusive, and certain combinations of indicators cannot be permitted for legal reasons or due to internal guidelines. In these cases, the system generates an error message. We recommend that you check and test all new combinations carefully, before you release them in the production system.

You can only activate or deactivate the level of the available quantities and handling unit management requirement, if there are no stocks present within a storage type. We recommend that you only change the capacity check for a storage type if no more stocks are present within the storage type. Particular care should be taken if you subsequently change the putaway behavior for putaway. In the storage type, there are indicators that you can override in the warehouse process category. This means that specific functions, such as the confirmation requirements for putaway and picking or the option for posting changes to the same storage bin, are valid for specific storage types, but are not valid for a specific posting. For more information about changing the predefined storage types or creating new storage types, see the Implementation Guide (IMG) for EWM under Extended Warehouse Management Master Data Define Storage Type.

ExampleYou can define several storage types for each warehouse number. The following figure shows five storage types that are assigned to a warehouse number:

Warehouse Number 0001 Storage Type 9020 GR Area Goods Receipt High Rack Storage Area Storage Type 0040 Storage Type 0010

Block Storage Area Storage Type 9100 GI Area Fixed Bin Storage Area Goods Issue
