EWM Organization Structure

-
 The Warehouse consists of the following elements in the hierarchical structure −
In EWM, you define storage bins for each storage type. EWM uses these to manage stock information about all products in the warehouse, at storage bin level.
  • Warehouse Number:(4digit no) Each warehouse number consists of a sub structure that maps the warehouse relationship.
  • Storage Type
  • Storage Section
  • Storage bin
  • Activity Area
We have 3 ways to configure in the system:
  • Define each n every object individually through SPRO- Master data- define WH no.
  • Activate BC sets(business Configuration sets - SAP Predefined sets) tcode: SCPR20
  1.  Warehouse independent(document type integration) - Client level setup
  2. Warehouse dependent(org structure relevant) - Processes- eg: inbound delivery setup, control parameters
Activate BC sets, i have created WH- AV01 using BC sets. Only new WH no is created, nothing will be copied.
  • Copy from reference warehouse:
SPRO- EWM- Cross-Process settings- copy WH no customizing
 
WH no: HSWM created w.r.t JLPW

Another Concept in EWM explained in the context of a third party warehouse which is holding Consignment Stock For a Plant.:

  • Custodian: Third Party Warehouse who has the physical custody of the material.
  • Owner: Consignment Vendor who has kept supplied the goods to Plant. Also Consignment Vendor is the legal owner of the stock.
  • Party Entitled to Dispose: Plant for which the stock is procured.
  • It is Plant-Vendor in ECC
  •  Usually this is the plant in which the stocks are planned, and in which the ATP check is performed. Each stock must be assigned to a party entitled to dispose, meaning that it is possible to manage stocks from several plants in one warehouse number. if vendor is mapped as a location, then that can be mapped as "party entitled to dispose".

 Configuration in EWM for these:

In SAP ECC, create Vendor: HS01-VEND using tcode XK01

Goto XK02-enter vendor-select Purchasing data- extras- add purchasing data- assign plant HS01.

We can transfer the data through CIF, but while creating integration model, enter vendor name

Give Create Loc./BP= 2; which will create location and business partner both in EWM.

Activate IM.

Then check in EWM - /SAPAPO/loc3 - vendor is created with location type - 1011

As Vendors and customers are Business Partners in EWM, goto tcode BP -> enter BusinessPartner - HS01-VEND and you can check there

Also to know whether it is vendor or customer, goto tab Identification there you can see ID type CRM004 : R/3 Vendor number and also the ERP system.









In order to maintain this as plant vendor, maintain id type as:

CRM011 - HS01(enter only plant) and ERP system.

Since we have added this, now this is a plant-vendor.

Now goto Assign WM - HSWM; add new entry









Supply chain Unit: SCU- we create SCU with location type 1008, it represents warehouse location.

when wh n plant location is same, then we can use plant as SCU. if i want to assign SCU to WH, SCU should be having business attribute as INV. it is a pure master data.

Now Go to SPRO - EWM- Assign warehouse number controls:

  • Weight unit
  • Volume unit
  • Currency
  • Time unit
  • unit of length
  • Factory calend.
  • Link to subsystem:

Activity Area & Bin Sorting

-
Image
 Activity Area: Logical grouping of storage bins. These storage bins are of same storage type or multiple storage types Storage bins are further categorized in this activity area. It includes activities like picking, put away or a physical inventory. As per the activity, you can assign the same storage bin to multiple activity areas. SPRO- EWM- Master data -Activity Areas - Define Activities Warehouse Process Category is mandatory for creating new warehouse activity You cannot add new WPT in the system or neither can delete the existing ones. We have created new Activity RKAA. Now goto Define Activity Area- New Activity area AA01 created. When we generate AA with report, new activity area will be generated with the name of storage type and it will be assigned to the storage type.The Sort sequence for storage bins will also be maintained wrt to that AA and storage type  Storage bin sorting will be maintained with reference to Activity Area and Activity. We have to run a Bin Sorting repo

how to connect ERP & EWM System

One mandatory business function is required to activate: With  business functions ,  SAP  provides new features and enhancements in self-contained units for your existing  SAP  installations. This enables you to use specific new features and enhancements for your various  business  processes.  For EWM, we need to activate LOG_LE_INTEGRATION for ECC and S/4 Embedded HANA environment as well. Goto ECC, transaction SFW5 : Switch Framework: Change Business function Status -> Activate business function    LOG_LE_INTEGRATION.  Logical System:   logical system  is used to identify a  system  uniquely within the network, two systems cannot have the same name if they  are connected to each other as BW(business warehouse) systems.In SAP terms, logical system is client Protocol to name LS: SYSCLNTNNN - EH8CLNT910 I will be using ECC system as EH8CLNT910 and EWM system : N75CLNT111 RFC:  Remote Function Call ( RFC ) is the standard SAP  interface for communication between  SAP  systems.

Storage Section and Storage Bins

-
Image
 Storage Section - This is a part of storage type and represents a group of bins with same characteristics. Commonly used storage sections are fast moving or slow moving items, etc.  Storage section is optional. We have created below storage sections Storage Bins: are of 18 characters and unique across warehouse.To create storage bin, section is not mandatory. The Storage bins represent the physical location of storage space where the products are stored in Warehouse. They are at the lowest level of the organization structure and when you store an item in a Warehouse you need to mention its exact location. Define Storage bins Generate from Templates  upload program To create storage bin, Mandatory fields are Warehouse no and storage type. Storage bin type : used to determine storage bin depending upon capacity and characteristics of storage bin. To differentiate the storage bins, we use this. Bin Access type :A resource type qualification. Each bin access type reflects a resource type&
