SAP EWM Warehouse Structure & Master Data 2

Описание: SAP Extended Warehouse Management (EWM) is one of the leading warehousing applications available worldwide for enterprises both large and small in size.

SAP EWM first emerged as a successor to SAP Logistics Execution Warehouse Management (LE-WM), with added advantages and advanced features such as material flow system (MFS) and Labor Management. The earliest versions of SAP EWM were only available as separate, “standalone” applications until 2016 when SAP embedded the EWM functionality in the SAP S/4HANA suite.

By embedding EWM on SAP S/4HANA, clients could take advantage of the SAP HANA in-memory database and execute high-speed transactions for their warehousing operations. With each new version of SAP S/4HANA, more functionality was added to embedded EWM, including an ever-growing list of innovative SAP Fiori apps and a stripped-down version called stock room management.

With the latest version of SAP S/4HANA, 1909, there are many questions as to what one can do for their warehousing landscapes. Our book, Warehouse Management with SAP S/4HANA, covers both business and technical processes for embedded and decentralized EWM for version 1909.

In SAP EWM, you can manage an entire physical warehouse complex using a single warehouse number. You can define the individual warehouse facilities or warehouses that make up the warehouse complex, using their technical, spatial, and organizational characteristics as storage types.

Embedded EWM in SAP S/4HANA:
Embedded EWM was released in SAP S/4HANA 1610 to allow customers to take advantage of the higher processing power of SAP HANA and lower the total cost of ownership compared to using standalone or decentralized EWM. As it currently stands, basic embedded EWM functionality is available to anyone with an SAP S/4HANA license, with advanced features available via an additional license.

Clients may choose embedded EWM for a host of reasons. For small- to mid-size customers, the basic functionality may be enough for their needs. For those with more advanced needs, the application of functionality to their specific business processes should be considered when choosing a license. But no matter which option is picked, those running embedded EWM benefit from ease of deployment and the lowered total cost of ownership. Why? Because they only need to maintain and use a single physical system rather than multiple physical systems as in case of standalone EWM.

A good number of embedded EWM implementations have already been done and clients have been happy with the outcome. Benefits listed by these clients include reduction in master data duplication, removal of additional transactional documents, and the use of advanced SAP Fiori apps available out of box.
