Why Decentralized EWM

-

 Centralized resides on the same system and uses the same database as the ERP. If the ERP goes down, means your warehouse management system also goes down. Decentralized means the WM system resides on its own system and has its own database. Master data and transactional data must be interfaced from the ERP into the WM system, so master data such as customers/vendor and materials and transactional data such as inbound and outbound deliveries is interfaced from the ERP into the WM. If the ERP system is not available, the decentralized WM system can continue to work at least with the deliveries already interfaced into it. And will batch the communications back to the ERP until it is available again. Although EWM can now be installed onto the same server as that running the ERP.

 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 Sor...

EWM Organization Structure

Image
  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  Warehouse independent(document type integration) - Client level setup 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 c...
