Inbound processing involves storage of goods in warehouse and their location. The inbound delivery is created in embedded EWM if the receiving plant and storage location are embedded EWM-managed. The finished products are moved into the warehouse from the assembly line and goods receipt is posted in embedded EWM. The same is also updated in the inbound delivery in SAP S/4HANA.
Storage Control is used to determine product movements in a warehouse. It is used to execute put away or stock removal process in the warehouse. It could be Layout Oriented or Process Oriented. In SAP Extended Warehouse Management, process oriented storage control is executed first and layout storage control is executed to check if the put away step is possible in the warehouse layout view and also adjust the put away or stock removal as per the layout view. Key features include
Outbound process is used to ship ordered goods to customers. This process starts with the creation of a sales order and an outbound delivery. The outbound delivery is replicated to the Embedded EWM system, where an outbound delivery order is created. This document serves as the starting point for the outbound processing within the warehouse. Warehouse tasks are created with reference to the outbound delivery order and the physical process for picking is executed. During the creation of warehouse tasks, the system determines the location for picking the stock and allocates the stock to the warehouse task. At the end of the process, the goods issue is posted. The goods issue information is transferred from SAP EWM to the SAP S/4HANA system. Subsequent process steps such as billing can be executed accordingly. The outbound process also known as goods issue process in extended warehouse management.
Advanced production integration allows the integration of supply of products to production and the receipt of products from production into warehouse in Extended Warehouse Management (EWM). It is integrated with the manufacturing order processing in SAP S/4HANA, but it allows to stage and consume the materials and receive the semi-finished products or finished products in EWM. This means it can process the warehouse execution for manufacturing orders that have been sent to EWM from SAP S/4HANA.
SAP EWM Cross-Docking is the process to transfer material directly from the Goods Receipt Staging area after unloading from the trailer to the Goods Issue Staging area for loading into the trailer for outbound shipment. SAP EWM Cross-Docking reduces the shipment time and thus increases the operational efficiency of the process. This is more useful in heavily complex logistics processes in the supply chain where the shipment must be delivered to the customer in a short time. Cross-Docking is also useful for perishable products with a short shelf life, as it eliminates the need for product storage in a warehouse and thus reduces the possibility of shelf life expiry.
The EWM Warehouse Monitor is a central tool for keeping warehouse managers constantly up-to-date as to the current situation in the warehouse, and to enable them to initiate appropriate responses in light of this situation. The warehouse monitor also contains alert monitoring capabilities, which highlights the warehouse managers towards the actual and potential problematic situations in the warehouse, and provide exception handling tools to assist in the correction of these situations.
