EWM Process Overview for sap mm use for all
- 2. SAP EWM Overview SAP Extended Warehouse Management (EWM) is used to efficiently manage inventory in the Warehouse and for supporting processing of goods movement. It allows the company to control their Warehouse inbound and outbound processes and movement of goods in the Warehouse. With the help of SAP EWM all the goods movement are controlled by a warehouse management system and provides you the tools to monitor warehouse activities. You can also manage additional functions in the Warehouse like creating a serial number, batch number, vendor management inventory, resource optimization etc. SAP Extended Warehouse Management allows you to not only monitor the quantity of goods in Warehouse but to manage other critical functions and delivery of goods efficiently. SAP Warehouse Management is opposite to Inventory management. Inventory management tells the count of goods in the storage location and its physical location is unknown. Warehouse management deals with goods movement and monitoring the physical location of the goods recorded with specific documents.
- 5. A warehouse number is the highest level of organizational unit in Extended warehouse management. All material data related to a warehouse number is stored at that level. This includes data on stock placement, palletizing, and stock removal.
- 6. Storage Type is a physical or logical subdivision of a warehouse. A storage type consists of one or several Storage Bins. Under the Warehouse number we have different kind of storage type. (like heavy part or small parts or based on material types or high rack and low rack or self-rack storage.
- 7. Storage section is an organizational subdivision of a Storage Type, that groups together Storage Bins with similar features for the purpose of putting away stock. The criteria for grouping bins can be defined on a user-individual basis, for example, heavy parts, bulky materials, fast- moving items.
- 8. Storage Bin: A storage type generally contains several storage spaces or slots. These are called storage bins in Extended Warehouse Management. The storage bin is the smallest available unit of space in a warehouse. The storage bin therefore describes the position in the warehouse where the goods are or can be stored.

- 15. Putaway and picking strategies Putaway Strategies After Good Receipt, Placing the stocks in a bin is called as Putaway. Once we done the GR the TR number will be generated in the background. TR will be converted into TO (Transfer Order). During TO we need to confirm the final destination bin to store those stocks. Then warehouse person will take the printout of that Transfer Order document and place the stocks in whatever the bin we have decided in the transfer order and then they will confirm the Transfer order. Picking / Stock Removal Strategies After Goods Issue, we must pick the stocks from the Storage Bin. When a material is removed from stock, it generally transferred to the goods issue interim storage area. The information about the destination (interim storage type, interim storage section, and interim storage bin) is either stored in the transfer requirement or the system determines it from the WM movement type.
- 16. Storage Bin Management You map your entire storage facilities in the Warehouse Management system. In doing so, you can set up various storage facilities such as automatic warehouse, high rack storage areas, bulk storage or fixed storage bins in various storage types, according to your needs. You manage material 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 lets you monitor all warehouse movements at all times. You can follow where a certain material is in your warehouse. SAP Inventory Management and the SAP Warehouse Management system are fully integrated. With its inventory procedure and recording of stock differences, the system ensures that the inventory balance in Inventory Management always corresponds to the warehouse stock in the WMS. Return
- 17. Planning and Monitoring •The WMS offers you an overview of all goods issues and warehouse stocks. The system supports you in planning, monitoring, and optimizing work processes. For example, it gives you a foresighted view of the workload in the coming days or allows you to intervene in good time during critical warehouse processes, so that you can execute warehouse movements on time. Via the RF monitor, you get an up-to- date picture of all of the activities in the warehouse, which means that you can control the actual work in the warehouse using the RF monitor. Return
- 18. •Warehouse Movements •You process all goods movements that affect your warehouse via the WMS. This includes goods receipts, goods issues, stock transfers, material staging for production, automatic replenishment, managing hazardous materials, and processing stock differences in your warehouse. •The WMS optimizes warehouse capacities and material flows using putaway and stock removal strategies, which you can adjust to suit your individual needs, or by using storage units. Return
- 19. •Radio Frequency Connection •In order to 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. •Radio frequency connection (RF connection) to mobile date entry achieves quick and flawless data transfer. The RF machines receive data directly from the SAP system and transfer data back to the system. Using barcodes, you can record information to be recorded and verify it. This means that you ensure a high standard of quality in your warehouse. Return
- 20. •Warehouse Control •WMS also has an interface to external systems (warehouse control units), so that you can integrate automatic putaway, stock removal systems or fork lift control systems into the warehouse management system for all warehouse movements with the help of this ALE interface. Return
- 21. In Warehouse Management (WM), a complete physical warehouse is defined under a single warehouse number . Using the warehouse number, you can manage several individual warehouse buildings that, together, form a complete warehouse complex. Storage Type is a physical or logical subdivision of a warehouse. A storage type consists of one or several storage bins. Under the Warehouse number we have different kind of storage type. (like heavy part or small parts or based on material types or high rack and low rack or self-rack storage. Storage section is an organizational subdivision of a storage type, that groups together storage bins with similar features for the purpose of putting away stock. The criteria for grouping bins can be defined on a user-individual basis, for example, heavy parts, bulky materials, fast-moving items, slow-moving items. A storage type generally contains several storage spaces or slots. These are called storage bins in Extended Warehouse Management. The storage bin is the smallest available unit of space in a warehouse. The storage bin therefore describes the position in the warehouse where the goods are or can be stored. This is the stock of any material with the same features in one storage bin. The system manages different batches of a material as different quants. The quantity of a quant can be increased by an addition to existing stock. Quants can be created or deleted solely through goods movements.
