Objective of this document
• Looking at rapid changes of Digital Core S/4 HANA, the next generation of ERP to modernize of Digital Business. SAP
consultants must upgrade their knowledge on S/4 HANA and or S/4 HANA cloud with reference to current ERP
modules.
• This document put together all functionality, innovation and deployment options for both S/4HANA Embedded EWM
and Decentralized EWM.
• SAP’s EWM solution has become an indispensable part of any type of organization’s warehousing and distribution
operations. For big and high-volume warehousing, a decentralized implementation is usually the most suitable
alternatives to go with as it can additionally handle a greater output. For smaller and mid-sized warehousing operations
SAP instead provides an alternative to deploy a centralized EWM option as an embedded application component in
S/4HANA.
• SAP also came up with a 4 weeks rapid deployment plan, in this plan out of the box functionality can be deployed with
help of SAP in four weeks of time. Refer Rapid Deployment Solution for details. I will also provide a section for the
same.
• SAP recommends to start new projects only on the SAP S/4HANA stack as this is the future platform for Extended
Warehouse Management and is planned to receive innovations with future releases.
• Always better to refer SAP notes before starting your EWM project. Some of the SAP notes as on relevant today, check
recent SAP notes whenever planning to deploy EWM. Some notes for reference:
• For implementing SAP EWM 9.5 – 2545892 (Implementation recommandations for SAP EWM 9.5)
• Deployment options exist for SAP EWM – 1606493 (SAP EWM Deployment Options Best Practices)
• Perform an add-on installation or upgrade to SAP EWM 9.5 – 2525490 – (Installing or upgrading to SAP EWM 9.5)

Basic Settings and sample Warehouse Structure
Sample Warehouse Structure: EWM Storage Concept - Narrow Aisle Access

• The narrow aisle is one special type of high rack. The


aisles are too narrow to allow two trucks at the same
time.
• Low Level Trucks (see A) can access the lower levels
of the aisles and handover points only (see C).
• High Level Trucks (see B) can operate in one or
several aisles but can not move to GR-Zone or
Packing Area. They can access all levels in the
Narrow Aisle.
• Only one truck is allowed in one aisle at the same
time.
Narrow Aisle is modelled in EWM with 3 storage types:
• To pick from the lower levels, the low level truck is Y001 – handover points (see C)
faster (more optimal) than the high level truck. Y051 – lower levels
• The high level truck is slower than the low level truck, Y011 – upper levels
especially the going up in height is time-consuming.
Changing of aisles are also time-consuming.

Basic Settings and sample Warehouse Structure
Sample Warehouse Structure: EWM Storage Concept - Mezzanine
Inbound/ Receiving:
• Small products received in small quantities
are stored in mezzanine.
• Transport from Goods receipt zone to final
bin using storage container.
• One storage container holds same quantity
as one final bin.
• Storage container is returned empty from
mezzanine to GR-Zone.
Outbound:
• If customer orders a small product in a small
quantity (less than a pallet), this product is
picked from mezzanine.
Mezzanine is modelled in EWM with storage type Y021
• No forklift/truck access in mezzanine,
operator uses a trolley with 3
compartements for multi-customer picking.

Sample Warehouse Structure: EWM Storage Concept - High Rack with Pick Point (Wide Aisle)
Inbound:
• Products are heavy, or partial picking at bin is difficult
for the products. There is no further restriction.
• Full pallets are received and put away to higher levels
via hand over point (slow movers) or into lower levels
directly (fast movers).
• Bin Sectioning are executed when pallets of products
are put away into a storage bin for the first time,
according to the pallet type (e.g. Euro vs US pallet).
Outbound:
• If customer orders a full pallet or exact remaining
The wide aisle allows more trucks in the aisle at the
quantity of a pallet, it is taken (from higher level via
hand over point) to the packing station directly, without same time and has a pick point as an option to be
going through the pick point. used for picking partial quantities
• If customer orders less than a pallet, the pallet is taken
Narrow Aisle is modelled in EWM with 3 storage types:
to the pick point and returned to the high rack with
remaining quantity after picking is done. Either high- Y002 – Pick Point for High Rack
level-truck (from upper levels) or low-level-truck (from Y003 – Handover Point for High Rack
lower levels) moves pallet to/from pick-point.
Y031 – High Rack

Basic Settings and sample Warehouse Structure
Sample Warehouse Structure: EWM Storage Concept - Bulk Storage
Two bulk storage types are available for different business needs.
Depending on product attributes, pallets of a products are routed to one
bin (bulk lane) in one of the bulk storage types.
a.) Y041 Bulk Storage A (Partial Pallets Allowed)
• Two sizes of bulk lanes are offered: a short bulk lane and a long bulk lane.
• In the system the maximum number of pallets for a bulk lane in that
storage type is defined.
• Once stock removal has started for a bulk lane, the system automatically
sets a putaway block until the bulk lane is emptied again.
• It is allowed to have one partial pallet serving for stock removals of non-
pallet quantities and to directly pick them.

b.) Y042 Bulk Storage B (No Partial Pallets) with Y052 Picking Area
• This bulk storage offers a set of short bulk lanes.
• In the system the maximum number of pallets for a bulk lane is defined.
• Partial pallets are not allowed.
• To allow for non-pallet quantities in stock removal, there is a specialized
Picking Area which is replenished from the bulk storage B.
• No putway block in this bulk storage type

Basic Settings and sample Warehouse Structure
Sample Warehouse Structure: EWM Storage Concept - Production Supply Area

When big quantities are produced and the execution of a production order
stretches for several hours, you stage materials to a production supply
area (PSA) and consume materials from PSA for production. There’re
three Staging Methods to be used for different materials:

1. Single-Order: the materials will be staged only for one specified


Production Order (PO). The exact number of the required quantity of that
PO will be proposed as the staging quantity in the Staging Proposal. The
staged quantity cannot be consumed for other POs;

2. Cross-Order: the materials will be staged for more than one


Production Orders, so the proposed quantity will not be assigned to any
PO during staging. Depending on the PO volumes and the regular
expected consumption of the materials, a defined number of staging
quantity will be proposed in the Staging Proposal, and it can be
consumed by different POs. This method is used for the shared materials
to cumulate the staging quantities, so that the staging will be optimized.

3. Crate Part Replenishment: the materials are not staging relevant;


instead, they need be ensured to be available in the PSA at all times, as
they’re commonly used by different POs with big volumes and they are
regularly replenished by defined schedules and quantities.

Inbound from Vendor to Bulk Storage
Benefits

Business benefits
 The usage of put away block prevents pallets of first-in fast-moving
products from lasting for a long time in the bulk lane. Otherwise,
new pallets might always be put on top of old pallets and will be
always picked first. Also, it ensures the already picked partial pallets
are reachable.
 Maximum numbers of certain types of pallet on one bin are defined,
so that the system will automatically determine the capacity of one
bulk lane depending on different pallet types.
 Fully RF/mobile enabled process steps within the warehouse.
 Workload distribution between the different resources (Low Level
Trucks, Human Resources etc.) using the full capabilities of RF
Queues following the physical layout of the warehouse
