EWM Configurations
ERP Org. structure
ERP
1. PLANT: Plant is physical location where we can execute our business
Inventories and valuations (Valuation area)
Inventory: How many products are coming inside, going outside and how many products are
stored in the plant. All mentioned are comes under inventory
Example for valuation area:
Valuation would be happened from plant level not from the corporate/company code level
2. Storage location:
It is a subdivision of plant. Location for storing products. Associated with plant
3. Shipping point
It is also a physical location. Associated with plant
In business process, we determine shipping point with respect to control parameters
1. Shipping Conditions: it is a 2 digit code EX: F1 – Fork lift shifting C1 – Crane shipping
2. Loading groups: Fork lift, crane
According to product, we determine the shipping point
4. 3 Digit Warehouse number required (Number only):
ERP <<----->> EWM
5. Maintain Shipping point determinations
6. Maintain Goods receipt point determination
7. Delivery split indicator activation
8. Purchase organization: a small office deal with the vendors. Can be determined at company
code level and plant level

Putaway Control
Warehouse Task: when moving product from one storage type to
another, 1 warehouse task is created
Confirm putaway: when the product reached to final storage type,
warehouse task has to confirm. For that we have to check the check box
for the final storage type
Storage control/ putaway completed: when the product reaches to final
storage type, this has to be checked
Note: we can’t activate ‘Storage control/ putaway completed’ indicator
for intermediate storage types
Delete Stock Identification: this indicator will be activated once ‘Storage

6. Storage Sections
Storage section is optional, adding and removing the storage section is possible
even though there is stock in the storage types.
EWM IMG SCM EWM Master data Define storage section
Example: Up to 4 Char length
7. Storage Bin
************************************************
BIN Type
Differentiate the type of storage BIN
Configuration:
EWM IMG SCM EWM Master data Storage BINs
Define Storage BIN type
Example:
BIN Access type
EWM IMG SCM EWM Master data Storage BINs
Define BIN access type
Example:
************************************************
Up to 18 char length, BIN number is unique across the warehouse
3 ways to create Storage BIN
Define storage bin
EWM Easy access SCM EWM Master data Storage BIN
Tcodes:
/SCWM/LS01 – Create Storage BIN
Storage type is mandatory
Example
/SCWM/LS02 – Change storage BIN
/SCWM/LS03 – Display storage BIN
/SCWM/LS11 – Mass change to storage BINs
/SCWM/LS10 – Genarate Storage BINs
/SCWM/SBST – Sort Storage BINs
Generate storage BINs from templates
To build the template we have to use 2 characters,
C and N
C – Character / constant
N - Numeric
Bin Identifiers:
Aisle
Stack
Level
How to create template:
For example, for Rack RK01 there are 4 Aisles, 10 Stacks and 6 Levels
Then the total number of bins are 4 * 10 * 6 = 240 Bins
How to define bins in template:
First BIN - RK01-01-01-01
Define bin number using C and N for the BIN for 18 chars length. Space is
consider as C and complete 18 char length
RK01-01-01-01
CCCCCNNCNNCNNCCCCC
Last BIN – RK01-04-10-06
Go to
EWM Easy access SCM EWM Master data Storage BIN
Define storage bin structures
Example:
All are mandatory in BIN definition
In additional data Storage type is mandatory
After defining the BIN structure, Generate BINs using transaction /SCWM/LS10
Then 240 bins will be generated.
Note: if there is increase in Aisles in future want generate more BINs, then go
to storage bin structure definition and modify the end value as RK01-06-10-06.
Generate using transaction /SCWM/LS10. New 120 Bins will be generated.
Note: Mass change to storage BINs using transaction /SCWM/LS11
BIN Uploads
EWM Easy Access SCM EWM Interfaces Data Upload
Transaction /SCWM/SBUP – Load storage bins
Down load the template from transaction itself
Below is the template and provide the values
This option is useful when legacy bin numbers are required to be in system
then use this option
8. Activity Area and BIN sorting
Area to execute some activities
Logical grouping of the storage BINs
Activities:
Putaway activity
Stock removal activity
Internal product movement activity (from one storage type
to another storage type)
Changing product characteristic (Unrestricted to blocked)
also known as posting activity
Physical inventory
EWM SCM EWM Master data Activity areas activities
Define Activities
Example:
We can create our own Activities and assign here. When creating custom
activity, process category is mandatory
Process categories are,
Putaway
Stock removal
Internal warehouse movement
Physical inventory
Posting change
Cross-line stock putaway
Example:
EWM SCM EWM Master data Activity areas
Define Activity area
Example
EWM SCM EWM Master data Activity areas
Assign Storage Bins to Activity areas
Here assigning Activity area AA01 to RK01 and RK02
Example
In the above assignment, all the storage types RK01 and RK02 are assigned to
activity area
If we want to maintain activity area for the entire one storage type use the
below configuration instead of creating through ‘define activity area’
Generate activity area from storage type
Once we generate, the assignment will happen automatically
In the below example:
Activity area AA01 has been assigned to entire storage types RK01 and RK02
Activity area AA03 has been assigned to entire storage type RK02 and partial
bins of storage type RK01
Activity area RK05 has been assigned to entire storage type of RK05
What is the significance of the Activity Areas?
Sort Sequence of storage Bins:
Maintain sort sequence of Bins against the activity area.
Activity Area wise, maintain sort sequence against activities. This activity area
is nothing but logical grouping of Bins
EWM SCM EWM Master data Activity areas
Define Sort sequence of Activity area
Example:
Sort Sequence options:
Sorting storage Bin is one of the activities, we execute from the Easy access
Easy accessSCM EWM Master data Storage Bin
Transaction - /SCWM/SBST – Sort Storage Bin
Example:
Note: if we want upload the data from legacy system with same sort sequence
Use transaction, /SCWM/SRTUP
Down load the template and provide data and upload it into the
system
Example:
9. Door and staging area Group
Staging area group is a storage type with role D(Staging area
group)
Staging area is a storage section under staging area group (ST : D)
EWM IMG SCM EWM Master data Staging Areas
Define Staging areas
Example
Staging area group: storage type D
Staging area: Storage section
Check box: choose GR for receiving products, GI for products issue
EWM IMG SCM EWM Master data Staging Areas
Define staging area and door determination groups
Example
EWM IMG SCM EWM Master data warehouse Door
Define warehouse door
Example
Loading direction
Like that we have to create doors for inbound, out doors and inbound &
outdoors
Shown on the below
EWM IMG SCM EWM Master data warehouse Door
Assign staging area/Door determination group to door
Note: Storage area/ door determination group will be assigned in the product
master. When product reaches to warehouse, automatically Door and staging
area will be determined.
EWM IMG SCM EWM Master data warehouse Door
Assign staging area to warehouse door
Note: Staging area group = Group of storage areas
Storage type = Group of storage sections
If my storage area group = storage type
Then storage area = storage section

WPT Determination
Warehouse Process Type
Moving product physically or logically.
Physically – moving from 1 Bin to another bin
Logically – changing the product status from unrestricted to blocked or quality
inspection required for that particular product. Example damaged products,
expired products etc
We required Control parameters tells what kind of movement of product
whether it is physically or logically or both
If it is ERP, what is the control parameter
i.e, at Inventory Management level. Movement type is the control parameter
if it is EWM
Warehouse Process Type is the control parameter, it controls the movement
from 1 storage type to another storage type
Configuration how the WPT will determined in the Inbound delivery
EWM IMG SCM EWM Cross processing settings warehouse tasks
Define warehouse process type
Here we have to use BC sets or copy the existing
BC sets:
SCPR20 Search for the BC set */SCWM/* you will find the required BC set
for WPT (/SCWM/WE_PROCESS_TYPE)
Copy the existing
Select the existing warehouse and warehouse process types and copy to your
warehouse number.
Warehouse Process category:
1. Putaway
2. Stock Removal
3. Internal warehouse movement
4. Posting change
Note: Storage area is nothing but storage section belongs to Storage area
group
Consider 1 example with WPT 1010 (General putaway)
Go to above mentioned WPT configuration path and provide the source
storage type and source bin as shown below
To determine warehouse process type using the below path
EWM IMG SCM EWM Cross processing settings warehouse tasks
Determine warehouse process type
Automatically determine the warehouse process type based on the below
parameters
Warehouse number, Document type, item type, Delivery priority, control
indicator for process type determination, process indicator
After maintaining the parameters , create one delivery and distribute it to
EWM and check for the WPT update
Now defining new warehouse process type and determining the WPT
using control indicators along with document type, item type and
delivery priority
Go to Define warehouse process type and copy the existing WPT. Example J010
Go to Define control Indicators for determining warehouse process type
Go to determine warehouse process type and provide the control parameters
Maintain control indicator parameter in the product master
Go to /SCWM/MAT1 and provide the product and update control indicator
In the warehouse general data, you will have the control indicator field
Go to ERP and create delivery using 2 different products one of them is having
with control indicator and distribute it to EWM.
Check for the inbound delivery in EWM for WPT update
GR Reversal, GR partial, GR process Codes
Inbound Delivery Notification Inbound Delivery ?
Goods Receipt
After GR, goods will be available in GR staging are group. The background of
this setup is of warehouse process type configuration
Press on GR button showed in the tool bar and complete the GR
We can see the status of the goods using warehouse monitor.
Transaction: /SCWM/MON
Provide warehouse number and provide standard monitor as SAP or if there is
any custom monitor, provide the same
We have category nodes and profile nodes
Category node: if we click on node and nothing has opened, it is called
category node
Profile Node: if we click on node and opened selection screen. It is called
profile node
GR has been created in EWM and have to check the inventory since the PO and
IBD have created.
We have to check the quantity in Inventory (ERP updates)
Go to ERP and use transaction MMBE (Stock overview)
Provide the material and plant, execute
Goods receipt reversal from EWM, From ERP not possible
Possible to do the GR reversal. Go to the inbound delivery and click on GR
button and select GR reversal
Now go to monitor and check the status and go to ERP and check for the
stock. Go to MMBE and check for the same material and plant. There also it
got reversed
Also check in VL33N, go to menu environment and document flow
Also check in MIGO, for the movement type ex: 101 – goods receipt 102 –
goods reversal
Note: once the ASN (ERP: IBD) distributed in to EWM, it is not possible to
change from ERP
Test case1: IBD10 qty but vendor confirmed only 8 quantities. How we
can adjust
ERP:
Create IBD with 10 quantity and IBD distributed to EWM
EWM:
Have the inbound delivery notification and go to inbound delivery (to
adjust quantity, process codes button is available at item level tool bar) click
on process codes and set the process code based on requirement. Do the
quantity check set up as below for the quantity adjustment.
Process codes:
Now the inbound delivery quantity adjusted with 8 quantity. But inbound
delivery notification has the value 10 and the ERP Inbound delivery quantity
also showing the original quantity 10.
Next complete the Goods receipt in EWM and check the inbound delivery
quantity in ERP. Now the inbound delivery quantity in ERP updated with 8.
Testcase 2: full reject
IBD 15qty entire products have got damaged and want to reject
ERP VL31N create inbound delivery and distribute it to EWM
EWM go to inbound delivery notification at header level there is Reject
button. Click on it and all statuses would be completed. Process code is
updated as shown below automatically
Check in ERP IBD, the quantity has been 0 after rejection
Testcase 3: partial rejection
ERP IBD create with 10 quantity
EWM
IDN ID use process code I001 and do the partial GR
Partial rejection is not possible through process codes (ie. I004 Reject
Inbound Delivery)
Instead of I004, we can adjust the quantity using I001 delivery difference,
adjust document
Testcase 4: Partial GR
ERP IBD creation and distribute to EWM
EWM-> IBD ID set the process code
Go to with quantity adjustment I002 Delivery Difference, Adjust document
and quantity goods receipt
Check the inbound delivery in EWM, it will create 1 more inbound delivery
with due quantity (i.e 2 quantity) to be delivered. Go to reference documents,
there is one more document has been created in ERP with reference to ERP
original document
Here 0180017968 is the original document, after partial GR adjustment one
more document (0087001815) has been created in ERP wrt original document
0180017968
Now we have to check both the ERP documents 0180017968 and
0087001815for quantity

How we execute the putaway?
Use warehouse Task (WT) to complete putaway. WT is nothing but it’s a
document with in it control parameter in warehouse process type is
there
WT is a document and we have to maintain number ranges.
Go to EWMIMGSCM EWM Master data Define Number ranges

Note: Inbound delivery is a warehouse request to create warehouse task
Every WT is having source and destinations. Source bin will be configured in
WPT and destination bins will be triggered via strategies or manually we can
maintain in default values tab
Create WT by clicking the create button, once it successful, press on ‘create +
save’ button
After WT create and save, one warehouse order is created, confirm the

We can use more methods and select appropriate option and execute
Note: stock type, when the product is in GR staging area (after GR) stock type is
F1 and after confirming WT and WO the product moves to final storage type
(Complete the putaway) the stock type is F2
Check in ERP MMBE transaction
ROD storage location quantity is showing 11, in AFS storage location quantity is
1
Right click on the quantity and select the goods movement
When after completing the putaway, transfer posting happened from SL ROD
to SL AFS. Updated with 411 movement type
There is link between stock type and IM (Inventory Management) storage type.
Configuration:
Stock management
Availability Group: it is an interface between ERP and EWM to update the
stocks
This concept is same in S/4 HANA and Decentralised EWM
In ERP we have 4 stock categories
1. Unrestricted : FF
2. Blocked : BB
3. Quality : QQ
4. Returns : RR
NST: Non location dependent stock types: FF, QQ, BB and RR
NST FF with reference to availability group 001 and 002 stock types F1 and F2
will be determined. Availability groups are associated with storage locations in
ERP
Similarly, for NST BB, QQ, RR
Configurations:

How and why stock types F1 and F2 updated at the time of GR and putaway?
At the time of Inbound Delivery creation, Storage location ROD has been
assigned to items
SL ROD has been assigned to stock type F1, though availability group has not
been assigned in the GR storage type. But ROD has assigned with that stock
type F1 and will updated
Final storage type RK01, availability group has been updated with 002
mandatory checkbox. Availability group 002 has been assigned to storage type
F2
002 to assigned to AFS, AFS assigned to Stock type F2
Other topics in availability group
In previous, we have discussed about NST unrestricted stock
NST - Blocked stock: BB
Testcase 1:
Go to EWM and define storage type for blocked, as shown below
Create bin for the storage type
Testcase2:
Create new storage type for scrapping
Create BIN for new storage type
Testcase 3:
1. define availability group
2. Configure stock type
Note: Availability group and stock type is 1:1
Availability group + NST + Stock type + Stock type Role are unique.
3. Define Storage type
Create BIN
4. ERP, Create Storage location, assign storage location to plant and 3 digit
warehouse number
5. EWM, IMG configuration and map storage location to plant and
availability group
6. Search for open inbound delivery and proceed for testing
PUTAWAY Strategies
Putaway strategies are 3 levels
1. Storage type level
2. Storage section level
3. BIN type determination

EWM IMG SCM EWM GR process strategies storage type
searchSpecify ST search sequence for putaway
EWM IMG SCM EWM GR process strategies storage type
searchOptimize Access strategy for storage type search: Putaway
To update the putaway control indicator in product level,
Go to easy access and product transaction /SCWM/MAT1
Test cases: create 1 IBD and distribute it to EWM. Check for the automatic
updation BIN
After determining the BIN, we have to validate which search sequence has
been determined as per below information,
Check in IMG configuration:
Product – JUPL-MAT1
Process type- 1010
Optimization of access for storage type determination
Check in product warehouse level
Putaway control indicator- PUT1
You will get what search sequence has been triggered.
Testcase:
Block all BINs of first storage type in the sequence, and how the system
search takes place
Using monitor select the storage type, you will have all bins
Select all bins and go to more methods, select block for putaway. And
execute the warehouse task. Then system will consider next storage type
bin in the search sequence
Note: If any storage bin is blocked for putaway, it is not possible to do
putaway in that bin
Test case:
Remove putaway control indicator, process type check for mandatory or
not
Note: Putaway control indicator and process type are not mandatory to
determine storage type search sequence
Provide only party entitled to dispose value and execute for the search
sequence
Putaway Rules:
Change the putaway rules in storage types and test inbound deliveries
Putaway split:
Split quantity during putaway
Example: expected putaway quantity is 10, but there is in one of the bins
can accommodate 5 only. Instead of considering new bin for 10 quantity. 5
quantity has to go for the bin which have accommodate. Remaining 5
quantity should go for new bin
For that, go to storage type and update split during putaway value 1
Now inbound delivery trying to create multiple warehouse tasks when
confirming warehouse tasks
Capacity check:
Capacity check will be used to avoid searching each bin at the time of putaway
To optimize the system performance at the time of putaway, we have to use
‘Early capacity check’
Advantage of Early capacity check when update check. It will search for the BIN
types not each storage bin type. Example: Bin types: 20 kgs, 30 kgs.
Storage bin type: example: RK01-01-01, RK01-01-02 etc
Note: we observed that system checks source and destinations for individual
warehouse tasks, during putaway split.
Adhoc Product movement: Moving products from one bin to another bin
Transaction code: /SCWM/ADPROD
Provide storage bin type from where product has to be moved and execute
1. Provide destination storage bin
2. Warehouse process type 999
Then create WT and confirm WO
Check for WPT,
WPT 999 is of category 3 (internal warehouse movement) and activity INTL
(internal movement)
Activities:
Test case:
Want to place products 50 kgd, 100kgs, 150 kgs are in storage type 50kg bins.
Want to 5kg, 10kg, 15kg and 20kg are in storage type 20 kg bins.
Now want to place 170 kgs products. 20 kgs in ST 20 kgs bin and 150kgs in ST
250 kg bins
Note: split indicator has to be update in ST 50 kg bins.
Execution will be as follows,
First destination storage type is 20 kg bin bout type is not sufficient since it is
170 kgs. Then search for ST 50 kgs bin, 50kgs will be placed. Remaining are
120kgs
Again it will search for ST 20 kg bin, but ST is not sufficient for the product
placement. Then it will determine ST 50 kgs bin, 50 kgs will be placed.
Remaining are 20kgs.
Again it will search for ST 20kgs bin, now the bin is sufficient for 20kgs.
Remaining 20kgs products will be placed in ST 20kgs bin.
2. Storage Section search
Configurations:
EWMIMGGR Process Storage Section Search Create storage section
indicators
EWMIMGGR Process Storage Section Search maintain storage section
search sequence
Similarly maintain for other storage types, storage indicators and storage
sections
Go to storage types in the configuration and update the storage section check.
Go to product master to update the section indicator
Similarly maintain storage section indicator for other products
Start testing by creating inbound deliveries
Observation:
System will consider the storage section search sequence
Maintain Storage section indictor at product warehouse level. This setting
will consider if and only maintain the below check at storage type level
Update storage section check at storage type level
In product master, there is storage type data is there
Remove storage check from storage type and update storage type data,
If we want to place the product in RK01, that should consider SS01. If it is RK02
storage section indicator is SS02.
Note: if we maintain storage section indicator at product storage type data.
System checks for the storage sections, which are assigned to that section
indicator in sequentially
No need to maintain storage section check at the storage type.
3. BIN type Determination
EWM IMG SCM EWM Master data storage bins Define storage
bin types
We can update storage bin type in product master at ware house level and
storage type level
Create inbound deliveries and test the scenarios
1. Alternate BIN type determination.
If the product has updated with one bin type and that is not available in the
storage type. if we choose alternate bin type then it will check for the other
available bin types
EWM IMG SCM EWM Master data storage bins Alternative
storage bin type sequence
Test case: Use alternate BIN type determination
Stock type determination is also one of the putaway strategy
The above are storage locations. If the product procured in the storage
location that will be associated with below storage type. that means in the
EWM stock types will influence the putaway strategy
Refer recording for putaway strategy for storage bin type determination for
the above exercise
HU (Handling Units) Management
Handling Units: A packaging material + Product(s) with a unique ID number.
HU number will be used only once, meaning after moving products out from
the warehouse, same HU number will not be used again.
We deal with three packaging materials:
Main packaging materials – carton box, pallet
Auxiliary packaging materials - example: thermocol sheet, bubble wrap,
shrink wrap
Means of transport – example: truck, vessel
HU management,
We will work with ERP and EWM
1. Packaging materials maintained in both the systems
2. Products (Materials)
3. HU Number (Unique ID number) –
Generate ID number at ERP i.e., internal number range – this internal
number recognises the EWM system as External
Generate ID number at EWM i.e., internal number range – this internal
number recognises the ERP system as External

Testcases:
Creating packaging materials in ERP and distribute it in to the EWM
Create packaging materials using material type VERP
Provide pack mat group and type
After creating pack mats. Distribute it into EWM.
In EWM, go to product master and update HU type in packaging data for all
products,
Create inbound deliveries in ERP,
After packing
HU Management 2
HU details will be available both in Inbound delivery notification and inbound
delivery.
You can open HU detailed screen (virtual work centre) from Inbound Delivery
As below,
Goods receipt tab will be available both header level and HU item level
Explained test cases
1. Inbound delivery created with 3 line items and packed in 3 packaging
materials and distributed. In EWM did the GR and compare the
document flow in ERP for each HU item GR
2. IBD with single line item of 3 quantity and packed into 3 with 1 quantity.
In EWM, at line item level do the GR and compare the document flow in
ERP
3. Go to monitor after GR, under the stock and bin or handling unit section
to check for the quantities and for other information
4. After GR, from inbound delivery, go to follow on functionswarehouse
task. Hus are not visible under warehouse request, those are visible at
Handling Unit tab
5. New topic, Product warehouse task and HU warehouse task
In the warehouse process type
If we deselect ‘Select HU w/o storage process’, then it is product warehouse
task, if you select ‘Select HU w/o storage, then it is HU warehouse task.
If it is product warehouse task, product will available in warehouse request
tab after GR otherwise it is available in Handling Unit tab
6. Repacking testcases:
Products are not generated in ERP, but our requirement is to have HUs
in EWM
Create IBD without packing and generating Hus and distribute to EWM
In EWM, do the pack for inbound delivery,
After repacking, we can see the Hus in inbound delivery,
Observation:
Generated HUs in EWM and are available in ERP after GR
Testcase2,
Products are packed in carton box HU, again those are packed in pallet from
ERP, But in EWM, we collect only carton boxes
Create IBD in ERP,
Create 3 items with 2 quantity each pack in 6 carton boxes with 1 quantity
Go to pack HUs and create 1 pallet and pack all 6 carton boxes in that pallet
In EWM,
Go to IDN and ID
Go to IDfollow on functionspack
Empty the pallet HU, now will have all carton boxes after save. Do the GR and
in ERP all the carton box HUs will be visible. Pallet HU will be disappear
Testcase3.
Products are packed in carton boxes and generate HUs in ERP. Truck come to
warehouse, observed that carton boxes are damaged. Need to repack the
products in separate carton boxes in EWM.
Go to ERP create IBD, with 3 items 1 quantity each and pack them in 3 different
carton boxes.
In EWM, IDN check for HUs
Go to ID follow on functions pack
Generate on HU for carton box.
Go to repack product tab and empty the old carton box HU and move the
product to new carton BOX HU
Note: empty HUs will be disappear after save.
Testcase 4:
Vendor sending products in carton boxes. I will repack them in pallet and keep
them in warehouse
In ERP, create IBD with 1 item 3 quantity. Pack them in 3 carton boxes with 1
quantity
In EWM,
Go to ID follow on functions pack
Create one pallet HU, use repack HU and move carton boxes to pallet
Note: after GR in EWM all the data will updated in ERP
Now if we do warehouse task, it will create only one warehouse task. Since 2
carton Box HUs are stored one pallet.
Check the same HU in monitor
Packaging Specifications
Packaging specifications is a master data specific to EWM
We determine package specification during several applications with condition
techniques
Element: pack material + work step
Element group: assign related elements
Level: element groups are assigned to level

POSC: Process Oriented Storage Control
Note: POSC will work only with HUs
POSC is multi step movement
1. Unload
2. Deconsolidation
3. Putaway
The above steps are calling as external steps also it has internal steps
Each external step is having source and destination also have individual tasks
as well
For Unload: Door is the source and GR staging area is destination
Deconsolidation: GR staging is source and Deconsolidation work centre is
destination
Putaway: Source work centre final storage type is destination
What are the rules to go with POSC and how can we apply?
POSC works with HUs only
How we can apply or configure POSC
Define Storage process: Sequentially assign external steps

master for the same
The HU type for this product is JHT1 and get the HU type group
Path to get HU type grp.
EWM Cross process setting Handling Units Basics Define HU types for
each warehouse number and assign HU type group
JHG1 is the HU type grp. For HU type JHT1.
JHG2 is the HU type grp. For HU type JHT2
Resource and resources group are pure master data, those comes under
cutover activities

Replenishment
It is an EWM internal process
Replenishment at 2 levels
1. Storage type level
2. Storage BIN level (Fixed bins)
Replenishment processes
1. Planned replenishment
2. Ordered
3. Crate part
4. Direct
5. Automatic
Create 1 storage type with replenishment at ST level
At the end there is replenishment level field available and update it with 1 (ST
level)
Create 1 ST with replenishment at Storage BIN
Create storage BINs
Storage bins for RESB
Master data Define warehouse Number Control
Master data Internal warehouse processes Replenishment control

Check WPT for 3010 for the required configurations
Cross processing settings warehouse task Define WPT
In the same path, Determine Warehouse process type
Come back to
EWM Internal warehouse processes Activate Replenishment strategies in
storage type
Want to pick the products from reserve zone to replenishment zone. For that
we need some strategies against 3010 WPT
EWM GI process Specify storage type search sequence
In the same path, Determine ST search sequence for stock removal
In the same path, optimization of access strategies for ST determination in
stock removal
We need to manage the minimum quantities and maximum quantities at ST
level in the product master.
ST level we can manage it in product master.
For BIN level, assign fixed bins to product master
/SCWM/FBINASN – Assign fixed storage BINs to products
For both the products
Run the Replenishment

WPT level:
EWM Cross Process setting Define WPT
Similarly for X210
Test scenario, from 11th min
Decrease the stock in replenishment bin and create SO and OBD with more
quantity
After distributing the OBD to EWM, schedule the Replenishment
/SCWM/REPL
Why it is showing 35,
For the MAT1 product maximum quantity is 50. Available quantity is 15,
remaining 35 products we can accommodate in the replenishment
Regarding minimum replenishment quantity. If this will be used system will
create tasks multiple of the quantity.
If it 4, system will create tasks for 4, 8, 12, 16 etc
If run the same above replenishment after updating min. repl. Quantity. As 4
then the repl. Quan. instead of 35 it will give 32 for that particular product
If storage bins are empty in the replenishment storage type
Test case:
Move entire stock from replenishment storage bin to another bin
If we create OBD and run the replenishment and the bin shows empty. It will
shows only ST
Refer last 30 min recording for Automatic replenishment and direct
WAVE Management:
Consolidate outbound delivery order items together for the combined
processing.
Common point to process collectively. Example: Route, Product etc.,
Configurations,
EWM GI process Wave management General settings Maintain wave
types
In the same path, maintain wave categories.
Before that, we have to create filters
EWM Cross process settings warehouse order Define filters for
warehouse order creation rules
This will used in WOCR with wave filter which will be created in ‘maintain wave
categories’
Go to path, GI process Maintain wave categories
In the same path, Set automatic wave generation for WPT
Same update in WPT M210
In the same path, maintain WAVE capacity profiles
If wave creation is automatic, we need wave template. For that we have to
configure condition tables and access sequences etc to determine wave.
In the same path, Wave template determination Define field catalog
Define Condition tables
Define access sequence
Fields automatically come

Note: there is no concept for inbound delivery order.
Only for the below
Define condition maintenance group
Click on the condition maintenance group and check for the latest counter.
Here 114 is the last entry and provide 115 as the counter number. Use new
entries and add the record
First create wave template and define the condition records

Exception Handling
Operational environments: Desktop/ RF where Warehouse Task being created
In which process Warehouse task will be created:
Inbound. Outbound and internal. These are called as Business Context
applications
SAP has provided several exception codes, but for project can use only 3 or 4
exception codes
Configurations:
