SAP EWM

Extended Warehouse Management

 

What is SAP EWM?

Today's companies demand greater efficiency in their supply chains and place high demands on warehouse logistics. The costs of providing the service should be minimized while the added value of the service provided is maximized without compromising the quality of the logistics service.

As a result, the demand for intelligent solutions for complex and demanding logistics systems is constantly growing. Our product portfolio includes solutions for new implementations of SAP Extended Warehouse Management (SAP EWM) and solutions for migrating existing warehouse management systems (SAP WM) to the new EWM context. Or rollout as an integrated EWM solution in the SAP S/4 environment HANA (Embedded EWM) or as a standalone instance.

Our product portfolio

SAP WM will be replaced by SAP EWM by 2030. There will be no further support and no further updates are guaranteed. As SAP's target architecture, Extended Warehouse Management, on the other hand, offers support and regular updates in the release cycle as well as a high degree of possible automation & collect or click & reserve.

The range of functions of SAP EWM continues to expand with each update. In addition to the common warehouse management functions, integration in transport management, quality management and production, for example, also plays a major role. We have provided further information on this in the SAP EWM functions section.

SAP FIORI is a user-friendly, web-based interface with useful and clear functions. Its use also offers an interesting possibility of combining processes in the SCM area in a uniform design, with great potential for customer-specific needs.

SAP EWM is delivered in two main variants with S/4Hana. There is a decentralized and an embedded solution. The second solution is included in S4Core as standard, but is limited to fewer functions that can be purchased as an advanced version.

EWM modules

Various EWM modules can be used to support your processes. Find out which EWM modules we use and how we can help you increase productivity using them.

The SAP EWM solution is multi-mandate capable. For example, different ERP systems can be integrated into an EWM solution. In contrast to SAP WM, Extended Warehouse Management has better process control. This enables flexible modeling of warehouse processes. The goods receipt process is only sporadically mapped in SAP WM. With SAP EWM, the goods receipt process can be divided into several process steps, which optimizes the flow of goods in the warehouse. A material flow calculator is also integrated into the EWM. This enables a direct and native connection of the EWM system to the PLC (programmable logic controller). An EWM system can, for example, manage and monitor different warehouses fully automatically and without additional software. In addition, the EWM is scalable as required - some functions can only be activated on request. This limits the implementation effort for medium-sized warehouses. In contrast to SAP WM, the warehouse cockpit comes with EWM. With this powerful tool, warehouse managers can closely monitor and further optimize processes within the warehouse.

Use in decentralized or embedded form?

What considerations should be made as part of a proof of concept for the future architecture? What are the advantages and disadvantages of using both scenarios? We have provided you with some useful information to give you an initial insight.

Warehouse structure & processes

Warehouse structure & processes

Every warehouse is unique in its own way and in its history. In order to map the warehouse individually in SAP EWM, we get an overview of the structure and processes in the warehouse on site and in workshops in order to map reality as accurately as possible.

Integration SAP & devices

Integration SAP & devices

A warehouse cannot function without the appropriate equipment in use. They form the basis for data collection and the execution of daily work. We help our customers to set up these devices, e.g. printers and scanners, with and in SAP.

Training & courses

Training & courses

Working with SAP EWM can only be done if employees are efficient and ready to work. We therefore offer our customers customized and standard training courses both in active projects and outside of an introduction or conversion.

EWM Products & Solutions

EWM Products & Solutions

From our experience, we know where the problem lies in SAP for many customers. We have therefore developed our own products, for example for monitoring or migration from SAP WM. You can find out more in our EWM Convenience Suite.

Proof of Concept

Proof of Concept

Before an SAP project starts, it is advisable to carry out a preliminary check of the future solution. We therefore offer preliminary projects with proof of concept methods. What type of warehousing and features are suitable for our customers? We are happy to provide our demo system for this purpose or use the customer system for planning.

SAP EWM: Success Stories

Embedded EWM in the course of the S/4HANA introduction

As part of the S/4HANA implementation, an SAP EWM system was introduced at a manufacturer of building materials with chemical production. The customer maintains four warehouses spread across Germany with different functions and sizes. Three of these warehouses were mapped in the SAP system and set up in a process-related manner by ososoft GmbH.
