Hi Jak,

Try working on first simple process . Few process to work on is :

Inbound process

Outbound process

Once you have carried out the basis process to understand the concept of warehouse request, warehouse task , warehouse order and there functionality in both inbound and out bound process than try working on scenarios like :

Wave Management

Slotting

Rearragement.

But before working on any of these process make sure to intergrate your system (ERP 5.0 or ERP 6.0 and SCM 5.0).

Check the intergation model to see successful transaltion of Master data through CIF and transactional data through qRFC.

Go to the below link to have conceptual knowledge of EWM:

Hope this information is helpful.

Thanks.

Hi Jak

EWM being a relatively newer product, you will not find Building blocks, or best practice docs for the same. Most of the knowledge is still in silos in different places and the best way is to use such forums and help.sap to resolve your issues.

Shalili's suggestion is great as a starting point.

Thanks
