- 2. Why use Warehouse Management? • To manage warehouse in an efficient way Inventory Management. Space Management. Resource Management • To be able to deliver the customer orders or to supply the production with needed materials without delay • To offer variety of products, more & more assembly processes are transferred to warehouse or distribution center • To store large number of articles in different packaging & sizes • Inventory management to exact bin level
- 3. Master Data (CIF) SAP ERP ECC 6.0 SAP SCM EWM 7.1 qRFC Transactional Data qRFC – queued remote function calls CIF – core interface EWM Architecture
- 4. Integration from ERP to EWM • Usually EWM is installed on a separate system or instance, connected to an ERP system EWM is EWM is solution via remote function calls (RFCs) based on the SAP Supply Chain Management (SCM) a decentralized system and interfaces have to be setup to integrate the to ERP • • • Business benefits in having a decentralized system- Even if the central ERP is down for maintenance, the work in the warehouse can continue Also from a performance perspective the EWM system can be sized and upgraded independently, and the EWM hardware can be physically located close to the warehouse itself leading to faster response times • The interfaces between the ERP and EWM systems are using queued RFC (qRFC) technology for communication, for both master and application data
- 5. Integration between EWM and ERP works via qRFC ERP EWM Inbound Delivery Notification (IDN) Inbound Delivery (ASN) Delivery Distribution 1 qRFC Goods Receipt qRFC Inbound Delivery (ID) Material Document 2 Posting Change Posting Change 3 Putaway Warehouse T ask qRFC Closing Indicator qRFC Inbound Delivery (ASN) 4 Figure shows an example of the qRFC integration to support a specific business process, in this case, to support the integration of inbound deliveries
- 6. Steps in ERP •Activating Business Functions in Switch Framework •Creating an RFC User in ERP •Naming the Logical System for the Connection to SAP EWM •Assigning a Logical System to a Client •Specify the SAP APO Release •RFC Destinations •Setting the Target System and Queue Type •qRFC Monitor Settings •Setting User Parameters for Data Transfer •Checking Basic Table Entries •Extended Inbound Delivery •Assigning Warehouse Number to Plant and Storage Location •Assigning Shipping Points to Plants •Maintaining Shipping Point Assignment to Plant •Assigning Goods Receiving Points for Inbound Delivery •Organizational Structures in the ERP System •Defining Delivery Split by Warehouse Number •Activate Business Configuration Sets (BC Sets)
- 7. Steps in EWM •Creating an RFC User in SCM •Naming the Logical System for the Connection to SAP ERP •Assigning a Logical System to a Client •Define RFC Destinations •Maintaining Business System Groups •Assigning Logical System and Queue Types •Determining RFC Destinations for Method Calls in EWM •Maintenance of qRFC Monitor Settings •Defining a Separate Business System •Defining the Business System •Defining Outbound Communication •Setting Control Parameters for the ERP Version Control •Delivery Processing •Defining Warehouse Numbers •Mapping Warehouse Numbers •Activating Business Add-Ins (BAdIs) (optional) Defining the Transportation Group (optional) Specifying Output Format of Product Number Checking the SAP APO Model and Planning Version
- 8. Master Data Integration • To transfer master data from ERP to EWM you need to create and activate a CIF integration model • To create the integration model in ERP use T-code CFM1 • • • Enter a Model Name, APO Application, and the Logical System Name of the EWM system Select the objects that you want to include into the integration model Then select the Select Option Buttons for the relevant object to display the selection data on the right pane of the screen On the right side you then enter the selection criteria for the objects that should be included •
- 9. Activity Areas Warehouse Storage Type Storage Type Storage Section Storage Section Storage Section Storage Section Storage Bin Storage Bin Storage Bin Storage Bin Storage Bin Storage Bin Storage Bin Storage Bin Storage Bin Storage Bin Storage Bin Storage Bin Storage Bin Storage Bin Storage Bin Storage Bin Storage Bin Activity Area represents a group of storage bins that are grouped together for creating Warehouse Orders related to particular activities, such as picking, putaway, or physical inventory Y ou can assign the same bin to multiple activity areas for different activities. New structure for EWM (did not exist in ERP WM)
- 10. Activity Areas Configuration Steps • • Define Activity Area Assign Storage Bins to Activity Areas
- 11. Warehouse Doors and Staging Areas • Warehouse doors are the locations at which the loading and unloading activities occur movements into and out of the warehouse Many warehouses have multiple doors To create warehouse door in IMG use Define warehouse door For each door you can specify that the direction is either inbound, outbound, or both for • • •
- 12. Warehouse Doors and Staging Areas • Staging areas are generally physical areas within the warehouse near the doors where the product is staged temporarily before the loading process or after the unloading process To create staging areas in IMG use Define Staging Areas Specify whether the staging area is relevant for goods receipt, goods issue, or both • •
- 13. Warehouse Doors and Staging Areas • To determine which doors are relevant for which products – First create Staging Area and Door Determination Groups in IMG – This Determination Group is assigned to the Product • Also you can assign the Staging Area Group and Staging Area to the Warehouse Door
- 14. Warehouse Door and Staging Area Material StagingAreas and Doors example
- 15. Work Centers • Work Centers are locations in the warehouse where special processes occur, including Packing, Deconsolidation, Value-Added Services (VAS), Counting, Quality Inspection, etc To create work centers in the IMG use Define Work Center •
- 17. EWM warehouse stock Management EWM does not maintain the ERP storage location in the EWM warehouse quant data. Instead of storage location, the system uses the EWM availability group code to determine an EWM stock type. In EWM customizing there is a table that maps the ERP Plant, storage location and Logical system number to an availability group code. The availability group is also the link between stock types in EWM and the ERP plant and storage location stock. Y ou can have different stock types in EWM for one storage location in ERP .
- 18. Concept of availability group and stock type Connection process. between the ERP IM interface and EWM in the goods receipt
- 19. Availability Group to Stock Type Assignment
- 20. Change in Availability Group If Source Storage type Availability group is different than Destination storage type availability group, it results in corresponding Stock type change in EWM and SL-SL transfer ERP .
