Extended Warehouse Management (EWM) offers you flexible, automated support for processing various goods movements and for managing stocks in your warehouse complex.
The system supports planned and efficient processing of all logistics processes in your warehouse.
EWM is completely integrated into Inventory Management and Delivery Processing. Business processes, which you trigger in other application components, lead to physical goods movements in your warehouse. You organize, control, and monitor these goods movements using EWM.
You map the entirety of your storage facilities in EWM. You can set up different storage facilities such as automatic warehouses, high-rack storage areas, bulk storage areas, or fixed bin warehouses, in various storage types, according to your requirements. You manage the stocks at storage bin level. You can define these storage bins according to your own requirements. Every storage bin in your warehouse is mapped in the system. This enables you to constantly track all stock movements in detail. You can see exactly where a specific product is located in your warehouse. You can also use EWM to optimize storage bin management, since EWM takes on a large part of optimizing the products, so that each product is assigned to the correct storage bin, depending on its size and frequency of access.
Inventory Management and EWM are fully integrated. Using the physical inventory procedures and the entry of stock differences, the system ensures that the book inventory balance in Inventory Management always matches the warehouse stock in EWM.
You process all goods movements that affect your warehouse using EWM, such as goods receipts, goods issues, stock transfers, and automatic replenishment. These movements can include goods receipts, goods issues.
A work center is a physical unit in the warehouse used to perform activities such as packing, deconsolidation, weighing, quality inspections, and counting. You can customize each work center so that the fields, data, and tab pages fit the user’s unique needs.
Physical inventory is performed regularly to compare existing physical stock against system-maintained records in EWM. When discrepancies are found, they are entered into the system to update accounting data for the stock. Physical inventory performed throughout the fiscal year (according to products and/or storage bins) is considered “complete” within EWM. This process also includes different priority levels for each procedure; options such as zero stock check and low stock check; automated postings at intervals; and radio frequency integration for cycle counting, putaway physical inventory, and zero stock checks. Additionally, Handling Units are fully integrated into this process.
EWM provides an overview of all goods movements and warehouse stocks that can be used to plan and optimize processes accordingly. The monitoring functions further enable users to control activities in real time as well as monitor upcoming workloads in order to ensure timely completion of stock movements.
Radio frequency connection (RF connection) enables fast data transfer from mobile data entry devices like barcodes scanners directly into SAP systems. These provide clear control of worker steps for maximum efficiency with minimal cost.
An Application Link Enabling interface (ALE interface) provides integration between automated putaways and removal systems/forklift control systems with warehouse management system (EWM). This connection allows for streamlined automation of warehouse operations while maintaining optimal quality standards.
