WM: WM as a part of LE- Review

� Warehouse Management is an integral part of Logistics Execution which

controls the goods movement in and out of the company’s warehouse

� Warehouse Management provides various functionalities like stock

management to bin level, planning and monitoring tools, control of

goods movements, integration with other warehouse control units

available.

� All goods movements (Inbound / Outbound) results in a WM transaction

in SAP System. WM transaction can happen before IM transaction or

vice versa depending on the type of goods movement in SAP.

� Transfer Order is created to record the actual movement of goods within

the warehouse.

WM: WM Organization Structure - Review

� Warehouse, Storage Type, Storage Section/Picking Area are

Organizational elements of Warehouse Management.

� Warehouse Management can be used for a number of different scenarios

in terms of physical warehouse structures

� Master data in Customizing for Warehouse and Storage Type provides

number of control functions for various activities in the warehouse.

� Storage Bin is not a Organization Element of Warehouse Management,

but it is master which can be created manually or automatically using

templates defined in the Customizing.

� Quant is the lowest level at which material is maintained in a warehouse.

Material movement within warehouse happen in terms of quant.

WM: WM’s Interface with IM - Review

� Interface between Inventory Management and Warehouse Management

happens whenever there is any Inventory Management Movement which

affects data in Warehouse Management.- IM – WM Interface don’t come into picture for internal warehouse goods movements

� Enterprise structure definition and assignments are the integration

points at first level for setting up IM- WM Integration

� Movement type is the second level at which IM is integrated to WM

� Interim Storage Areas act as interface between IM and WM.- In other words we can say, Interim storage areas act as bridge between IM and WM.

� Differences can be directed to: - Source Storage bin of the movement type of the TO Item- A dynamic coordinate (with Storage bin as TO Number) in the Interim storage

area for differences- A dynamic coordinate (with storage bin as Fixed bin “Differences”) in the interim

storage area for differences.



WM : Inbound Process and Putaway Control - Review

� Putaway process in Warehouse can happen either followed by a GR or

an Inbound Delivery

� Cross line Putaway for storage bins, help in determine a predefined

sequence of storage bin search as per custom logic for a storage type.

� The flow of search for a storage bin happens as follows- Step1: Storage Type Search- Step2: Storage Section Search- Step3: Storage Bin Search using various Putaway Strategies

� Capacity check function is required to control /check the capacity of a

storage bin while doing putaway activities

� While searching for storage bins during putaway, there are lot of control

functions which provide lot of variety in searching for putting away a

material into the warehouse.

WMFUN_07: WM : Outbound Processes and Stock Removal Control - Review

� Stock Removal process in Warehouse can happen either followed by a GI or an Outbound Delivery

� The flow of search for a storage bin happens as follows- Step1: Storage Type Search- Step3: Storage Bin Search using various Stock Removal Strategies

� While searching for storage bins during putaway, there are lot of control functions which provide lot of variety in searching for putting away a material into the warehouse.

� Summary (For Stock removal)- In movement type, the destination bin is available on the lines of Source Bin.- Storage section don’t come into picture here.- Search Sequence is an important parameter to look for picking material- On the lines of placement indicator, we have stock removal indicator in this case- Destination Interim Storage Area is Determined using WM Mvt Type—Reference Mvttype—IM Mvt type Settings





















� Understand the Putaway Process for an Inbound Delivery

� Understand the Stock Removal Process for an Outbound Delivery

� Outbound Delivery Process using WM- Collective Processing of Outbound Deliveries- Two Step Picking



WMFUN_08 : Business Scenario

� Inbound Delivery is used for GR Handling in WM, if:- Handling Units are required to be captured in the GR Process, because Handling

Unit Management in GR Process is only possible through Inbound Delivery

� In this situation, TO can be created either with reference to Inbound Delivery or Handling

Unit. - Decentralized Warehouse Management System is Used.

� WM Goods Movement Postings are followed by IM Goods Movement

postings when Inbound Delivery is used.

� Automatic Creation of TO is not active by default in the standard system,

this is required to be configured in Customizing for Shipping

� To enable the processing of Returns from Inbound delivery, the relevant

item category is required to be activated in Customizing

� Two Step Picking Process need to be activated at Warehouse level as

well as material level. At the same time Customer Exit is also available to

define the logic for enabling two step picking in a warehouse.

WMFUN_09 : Replenishment Control in WM

� Replenishment Background

� Prerequisites for Implementing Replenishment Process

� Programs Available for carrying out Replenishment- RLLNACH1- RLLNACH2- RLLNACH4

� Process flow for Replenishment using these programs- Check for bin stocks in relevant storage types- Check for quantity specifications in the relevant material masters- Check for open outbound delivery requirement- If there is a need to transfer material to the specified bins, system creates a transfer



WMFUN_09 : Replenishment using Programs

� RLLNACH1- Quantity to be replenished is in multiples of replenishment quantity till it reaches

maximum bin quantity. These Quantities are maintained in the material master.

� RLLNACH2- Along with above factors, this program also considers the open demand quantity with

replenishment quantity

� RLLNACH4- Random Bin Replacement



WMFUN_09 : Replenishment Control Customizing

This indicator separates normal stock Removal from Replenishment TOs.



WMFUN_09: Internal WM Operations: Posting Changes and Stock Transfers - Review

� Posting changes do not generally involve a physical movement of goods

� Stock transfers generally involve a physical movement of goods.

� Replenishment Control function in WM can be executed in various ways

which uses information from different parts and decide the

replenishment quantity.

� Stock transfers within WM , do not initiate a IM transaction.

� In case of posting changes where WM transaction is posted before IM,

only-- Stock Category change and change in Special Stock Indicator are allowed

� Sample handling can be done in foreground or background depending

on the configuration settings.

� To activate the QM-WM Interface, storage type search sequence table

and interim storage type search table should be activated for Quality

� While processing posting changes after usage decision, WM takes care

of all the quants with that inspection lot number , irrespective of their

location in the warehouse.
