SAP Extended Warehouse Management (EWM) is a robust and sophisticated software solution developed by SAP to manage and optimize warehouse processes. It is a part of the SAP Supply Chain Management (SCM) suite and provides comprehensive functionality to support warehouse and inventory management. EWM is designed to offer enhanced flexibility and control over complex warehouse operations, making it suitable for businesses of all sizes and industries.

Core Features of SAP EWM
Warehouse Structure Management

Warehouse Layout: EWM allows users to define the physical layout of the warehouse, including storage bins, zones, and sections. This detailed mapping helps in optimizing space utilization and streamlining material flow within the warehouse.
Storage Types: Different types of storage, such as high-rack storage, bulk storage, and shelf storage, can be defined and managed. Each storage type can have specific characteristics and rules for material handling.
Inventory Management

Stock Management: EWM provides real-time visibility into inventory levels, enabling precise tracking of stock quantities, locations, and movements. It supports multiple stock types, including unrestricted, quality inspection, and blocked stock.
Batch Management: The system supports batch management, allowing for tracking and managing inventory based on batch numbers. This is crucial for industries with strict quality and traceability requirements, such as pharmaceuticals and food.
Inbound and Outbound Processes

Inbound Logistics: EWM facilitates efficient inbound logistics processes, including goods receipt, putaway, and cross-docking. The system supports various strategies for putaway, such as FIFO (First In, First Out), LIFO (Last In, First Out), and dynamic storage bin assignments.
Outbound Logistics: Outbound processes, including picking, packing, and shipping, are streamlined through EWM. The system supports different picking strategies, such as wave picking, batch picking, and zone picking, to optimize order fulfillment.
Labor Management

EWM includes labor management functionality to plan, track, and optimize the workforce within the warehouse. It provides tools for scheduling, performance monitoring, and productivity analysis, helping to improve labor efficiency and reduce operational costs.
Yard Management

Yard management is a crucial aspect of EWM, providing functionality to manage and control activities in the yard, such as truck arrivals, departures, and movements. This ensures smooth coordination between the yard and the warehouse, reducing delays and improving overall efficiency.
Cross-Docking

EWM supports cross-docking operations, allowing goods to be transferred directly from inbound to outbound without being stored in the warehouse. This is beneficial for high-turnover items and time-sensitive shipments, reducing handling and storage costs.
Value-Added Services (VAS)

EWM enables the execution of value-added services within the warehouse, such as kitting,

Extended Warehouse Management
Extended Warehouse Management (eWM) was released with SAP’s Supply Chain
Management Module (SCM)
The terminology can be confusing, but there are really two different forms of eWM,
depending on how they are being used.
-When SAP Warehouse Management is being used with SAP release ECC 5.0 or higher, in the
centralized mode, it is referred to as ERP eWM
-When SAP WM is being used in the decentralized form in conjunction with the SCM module, it is
referred to as SCM eWM. In it’s decentralized form, the capabilities of eWM are expanded.
SCM eWM offers increased flexibility and capabilities beyond ERP eWM. Typically, SCM
is tailored to organizations who have
-high SKU and line item volumes
-very fast moving product
-complex cross docking and order fulfillment requirements
-detailed packaging and shipping processes
-third party logistics services (3PL) on either the Inbound or Outbound side, or both
-Vast product range differing in size, weight, country of origin, batch, valuation
Inherently, SCM eWM should operate on a decentralized server. This is designed in for
maximum performance and flexibility. Periodically, you will see references to the Service
Parts industry, as this industry made the first use out of this solution; however, SCM is
designed to work across multiple industries. It all depends on the functionality and
business requirements that your organization needs to meet.

Evolution of SAP WM
What is some of the newer functionality that SAP WM has to offer?
With the advent of TRM and eWM, the functionality within the WM application has been
vastly improved. Capabilities such as cross docking, dynamic cycle counting, slotting,
yard management and task interleaving are now standard functionalities within particular
releases.

Features of Extended Warehouse Management
To name a few , eWM has following functionalities :
Rules and Prioritization –Increased flexibility in work assignment and
prioritization of tasks
Deconsolidation –Upon receipt, the products can be directed to a
deconsolidation work area where like products can be separated off of the mixed
pallet and put away as homogenous units.
Explicit and Implicit Counting –Used as part of the Quality Assurance process
for counting goods upon arrival into the warehouse
Wave Creation and Assignment –Improved tools in order to group and
efficiently pick Outbound Orders
Kitting –Kit to Order and Kit to Stock (in eWM 7.0 only). This needs SAP CRM and
APO in order to perform kitting. Supports complex kitting.
Slotting –SCM eWM has slotting tools available to determine the best location of
product storage within the warehouse. It is broken into 2 pieces:
-Slotting –more of a planning tool
-Rearrangement –the execution of the planning run
Yard Management –Logical HU is now replaced with a TU (transportation unit)
