In complex warehouse and distribution centres, the classic basic functionality of a warehouse management system is not any longer sufficient – like the support of goods-in and goods-out, replenishment and inventory management. Additional functions supporting complex processes are required, such as cross-docking, returns processing, additional logistics services, and multi-customer warehouses.
Also, mapping material flow components with a direct link to the programmable logic controllers are becoming increasingly important. Additionally, to counter the cost pressures, resource and labour management functionality is required.
Since 2006 SAP offers with SAP EWM (Extended Warehouse Management) a replacement solution for warehouse management. The performance of this solution goes beyond the existing and widely available SAP LES WM module.
SAP EWM is a component of SAP Supply Chain Management (SAP SCM) and supports inventory management and movement of products in warehouses. The multi-client warehouse management solution was designed for giant distribution centres with complex and highly automated processes.
Inventory management and goods movements are closely linked. A warehouse is mapped within the system down to storage bin level. The affiliation to SAP SCM has the advantage of a robust integration in supply chain planning, collaboration, and supply chain visibility.
SAP Extended Warehouse Management (EWM) is a component of the SAP Supply Chain Management (SCM) business suite. The EWM function is not a part of the SAP ERP application, which contains standard warehouse management (SAP WM).
The multi-client warehouse management solution was designed for large distribution centres with complex and highly automated processes.
Inventory management and goods movements are closely linked. A warehouse is often mapped within the system right down to storage bin level. The affiliation to SAP SCM has the advantage of a robust integration in supply chain planning, collaboration, and provides chain visibility.
