Hi,

High level:

EWM is based on deliveries which are replicated from the ECC system. Master data (materials, vendors etc) is replicated via the core interface from APO (CIF).

You assign a dummy 3-digit WM number to an EWM SLOC. In EWM, you assign the 3 digit WM number to a 4-digit EWM number. Furthermore, the supply chain unit (is masterdata) is important as well and gets assigned to the EWM number.

You need to map the delivery types and categories to EWM as the deliveries are the main component in EWM. Most of the customizing is based on condition technique which makes it flexible. HU's are important as well. After receiving for example the inbound delivery in EWM, it becomes an inbound delivery notification. Depending on the processing status, it becomes an inbound delivery. After finishin the processing of the delivery, EWM reports back to ECC and the status of the delivery is updated in ECC again.

There are some new features; labor management, slotting and rearrangement etc which can be usefull.

Hi,

If there is one EWM and one ERP system then you can directly integrate EWM system using direct ALE integration. You need to maintain the distribution model with in ERP and distribute it to EWM .

Basid Flow in EWM would be:

Every process in EWM starts with either an Inbound Delivery or an outbound Delivery. There are some standard IDOCs available for replication of deliveries from ERP to EWM. Then Transfer Order is created for a delivery. Once all the TO items are confirmed , PGR (goods receipt) is posted if it is an Inbound Delivery which will be posted back to ERP and PGI(goods issue) is posted for outbound delivery and sent back to ERP. You can have some inventory differences and posting changes that ERP may need for which standard IDOCs are available.

Hi Funko,

We are talking about EWM not SAP WM,So here there are no TR & TO Instead there are no terminology Warehouse Task & Warehouse order.

Make it clear.
