Warehouse Organisation Structure

[Former Member]

Dear All,

My client is having 4 different plants in different locations and each plant is having warehouse, can you pls advise the organisation structure for the same.

I'm planning to make different  Plant-Sloc-ECC Warehouse-EWM warehouse. Is this a good practice or can we go ahead for 4 Plants-1Sloc-1ECC WH-4 EWM Warehouses.

Pls advise on this.

Regards,

Hello

Considering your client's scenario, having 4 Plants-1 Sloc-1 ECC WH-4 EWM Warehouses seems like a streamlined and efficient approach. This structure allows for centralized control at the ECC level while maintaining flexibility with individual EWM Warehouses for each plant. It could simplify management and enhance visibility. However, the choice may also depend on specific operational requirements. I recommend evaluating factors such as inventory management, reporting needs, and overall logistics flow before finalizing the structure.

If Plant is only one, single plant could have multiple storage location different physical location and each physical storage location we can assign separate warehouse. While defining storage location at plant level can define physical address of storage location

What could be the structure if, the customer have 4 physical Location but managed centraly and would like to have 1 plant number. The receiving area and pallet warehouse is in one bulding, production and smal picking area are in all other Locations. Outboud in separate one. Make is sence to make different Warehouse number for every Location or only storage Locations, or one big warehouse and storage location

e.g 1 is best option

if plant / Warehouse are  in different physical location then you have to go with four different warehouse number

As per Enterprise structure Plant + SLoc assigned to Warehouse number

so in my opinion you need to create 4 different plant and create storage location within plant and then 4 different warehouse and assign then to individual plant + sloc

e.g.

plant                  Sloc                   WH

1000                0001                    WM1

1100                0001                    WM2

1200                0001                    WM3

1300               0001                     WM4

Hi Manish,

Thanks for the infor, but my question is that I need to assign this ECC wh to EWM ware house.

Is this best practice or not, because while generating the distribution model it is not accepting fo rmultiple WH's.

e.g.1

plant                  Sloc                   WH        EWM WH

1000                0001                    WM1     EWM1

1100                0001                    WM2     EWM2

1200                0001                    WM3     EWM3

1300               0001                     WM4     EWM4

e.g.2

plant                  Sloc                   WH        EWM WH

1000                0001                    WM1     EWM1

1100                0001                    WM1     EWM2

1200                0001                    WM1     EWM3

1300               0001                     WM1     EWM4

e.g.3

plant                  Sloc                   WH       EWM WH

1000                0001                    WM1    EWM1

1100                0002                   WM2     EWM2

1200                0003                    WM3    EWM3

1300               0004                    WM4     EWM4

e.g.

plant                  Sloc                   WH       EWM WH

1000                0001                    WM1    EWM1

1100                0002                   WM2     EWM2

1200                0003                    WM1    EWM3

1300               0004                    WM1    EWM4

Pls suggest which is the best method in above e.g.

Thanks

if all the four warehouse at different location then you need to go with Option 1 e.g.1 plant              Sloc                  WH        EWM WH 1000                0001                    WM1    EWM1 1100                0001                    WM2    EWM2 1200                0001                    WM3    EWM3 1300              0001                    WM4    EWM4 What is the error you are getting when you are trying to set up the distribution module with above (e.g.1)

Hi Venu

Take below formula and it will work for you. Now about distribution model error. Please post here we will give resolution also at the same time in creating distribution model creation you can should not get issue as it does not have any relation with below concept. As it is two separate things.

As in DM you insert wh no and logical system and dm name. so why you should get error.  

e.g.1

plant                  Sloc                   WH        EWM WH

1000                0001                    WM1     EWM1

1100                0001                    WM2     EWM2

1200                0001                    WM3     EWM3

1300               0001                     WM4     EWM4
