September 12, 2017 by 1 Mobolutions in SAP Mobile Apps

What is SAP EWM?

EWM in SAP is a Warehouse system or WMS solution that is the successor to the SAP WM module. The uniqueness of SAP EWM over the SAP WM module has been highlighted in the previous blog ‘SAP Warehouse Management trends – Efficiency Enabler in the Supply Chain’. Here, we are focusing on the industry specific functions supported by SAP Extended Warehouse Management and the latest technology upgrades.

1. WM in SAP: Core Functions and its Features

  • Yard Management
  • Goods receipt handling and optimization
  • Inbound quality management

Integrating technologies: RF, RFID, Voice, Glasses, Material Flow Systems (MFS)

Storage & Operations

Distribution Centre

– The warehouse system supports demand-driven distribution centers for complex, high volume processes with a high degree of automation, wave management, slotting and rearrangement, and replenishment.

Service Parts Warehouse

Cross Dock/ Transit Warehouse

– For cross-docking and transit warehouses, the warehouse system manages regional hubs, gateways, and container freight station, air and ocean freight handling, unit load device and container handling, and receive from/ send to airport/ seaport

3. Fiori for SAP EWM

Introducing process automation means doing away with the manual and paperwork to increase the productivity of warehouse operations and resources. Fiori apps for EWM equips warehouse workers to operate on their mobile devices for almost all major warehouse processes. Here, we look at the Fiori app functions for the two roles listed below.

Warehouse Supervisor

– Can monitor average goods issue delay time, operational reporting of inbound and outbound delivery items, access smart business dashboard based on SAP Fiori Design, and perform real-time analysis via HANA Live.

Warehouse Clerk and Operations executives

– Monitor In/Outbound processing and goods issue with/ without TU and ensure lean and intuitive goods receipt and goods issue processing. Inspect and sort returned products for e-commerce operations and trigger follow-up warehouse tasks, such as putaway or scrap.
There are a number of other Fiori Apps like Assign Fixed Bins, Clear Production Supply Area, Monitor Loading Appointments, and much more that can be leveraged.
