components doesn‘t change processes
§ Then execute transition from WM
completely) § Required project capacity for SAP

SAP EWM transformation
Migration from LE-WM (on ECC or on SAP S/4HANA) to

SAP S/4HANA EWM is considered as project work
§ SAP provides tools to accelerate the project
§ Change management is required as WM and SAP EWM have different
concepts to handle warehouse processes.
§ WM projects usually run with many add-on developments. Transition
requires thorough investigation and alignment.
SAP does not provide tools to migrate a decentral SAP EWM to an

embedded EWM in SAP S/4HANA
§ There are good long-term reasons to run warehouses on a decentral
platform.
§ The first objective of EWM in SAP S/4HANA is to give customers with a
small / medium warehouse a solution with reduced TCO as no separate
instance is required.

Basic shipping and Transportation Management within SAP S/4HANA
§ Defined collection of business processes relevant for shipping within

SAP S/4HANA Enterprise Management.
SAP S/4HANA
§ The processes can be implemented with SAP S/4HANA release 1511 with SUPPLY CHAIN
LE-TRA and used until end of life of the compatibility scope (solution Suite
capability: basic shipping).
§ The main functions of LE-TRA will eventually be replaced with the
Transportation Management functions within SAP S/4HANA Enterprise
Management. Due to the development of the freight processes in Products
Transportation Management, the functions might have been realized
differently than they were in LE-TRA. Digital Core Transportation Management
It is planned that the processes can be implemented with selected
functions of SAP S/4HANA TM* à (solution capability: Transportation
Management). SAP S/4HANA
§ Both technical applications are independent of each other and can then Enterprise Management
be used next to each other on the same SAP S/4HANA database instance.
They have no data exchange / integration within the shipping process. LE-TRA
§ Long term the collection of basic shipping processes will only be realized by Compatibility Scope
using selected functions of SAP S/4HANA TM* à (solution capability:
Transportation Management).
§ As of the 2020 release, basic shipping is the name for the LE-TRA 2269324 – Compatibility Scope Matrix for SAP S/4HANA on-premise
compatibility scope. Basic transportation functionality included * SAP S/4HANA Supply Chain for transportation management
in the SAP S/4HANA license is Transportation Management. This is the current state of planning and may be changed by SAP at any time.

Key takeaways
Moving from an existing LE-WM solution to SAP EWM can be

done as “brownfield” or “greenfield”.
It is possible to have different types of SAP warehouse solution

in the final SAP S/4HANA system
There is no support from SAP tools to move SAP EWM

warehouses at a later point in time from embedded deployment
to decentral deployment or the other way round
SAP TM can be used with basic shipping or advanced shipping

in SAP S/4HANA
Shipping functions in SAP TM might have been realized

differently than they were in LE-TRA.
For SAP EWM there are some migration tools to take over
warehouse data from LE-WM; for SAP TM there are no such
tools in place

Selected functional differences of SAP TM and LE-TRA – Scheduling
▪ LE-TRA route is NOT part of the compatibility scope and can be used after 2030
▪ LE-TRA route information is used by various other SAP business applications, for example, for scheduling
▪ Functional replacement of LE-TRA Route with SAP TM is on the product roadmap
LE-TRA SAP Transportation Management

▪ System determines the route for each order item ▪ The freight unit contains the start location derived
▪ Route can be re-determined in the outbound from the shipping point and the destination location
delivery – adopt the route from delivery or enter an derived from the consignee
alternative route for the shipment. ▪ The SAP TM default route is determined based on
▪ Scheduling is based on route (through Customizing source and destination location.

times for SAP TM business documents, hard time
constraints taken from the ERP document’s
schedule lines.

Selected functional differences of SAP TM and LE-TRA – Outputs
LE-TRA Basic SAP TM
▪ The Logistics Execution application uses output ▪ SAP TM uses output management via Post
control for printing and interfaces. Processing Framework (PPF) to print, fax, and
email documents and send information via EDI.

Key takeaways
Major technical differences between SAP TM and LE-TRA

▪ SAP TM does not support IDoc Interfaces in SAP standard
− For the ASN process, new Webservice interfaces have been
introduced
− For collaboration with external systems, additional Webservice
interfaces are available
▪ SAP TM does not use output control as output management
system, but Post Processing Framework (PPF)
▪ SAP TM does not directly use the LE-TRA route. LE-TRA route can
be used after 2030

Benefits of embedded deployment option
▪ No core interface (CIF) or data replication

framework (DRF) to transfer and convert master data
is needed. SAP TM uses business partner and
product master data created in SAP S/4HANA directly.
▪ No replication of dangerous goods, hazardous
substances and phrases. SAP TM accesses product
safety and stewardship (PSS) master data in SAP
S/4HANA directly.
▪ SAP TM Customizing is harmonized with SAP
S/4HANA Customizing
▪ No replication of logistics business documents in
inbound and outbound processes (DTR/OTR).
Transportation demands (freight units) are created
directly from SAP S/4HANA sales, purchase, and
stock transfer documents

▪ One system: Direct usage of master data ▪ Focus on high-volume warehousing, optimization and
▪ Reduction of data redundancy: avoid redundant objects automation, regional operations
and direct access to central objects ▪ Dedicated performance for warehouse operations
▪ Better integration to ERP processes (GM, QM and PP) ▪ Deployment of SAP EWM server close to warehouse or
▪ Small and midsize warehouses in same region / time zone
▪ New deployment option with SAP S/4HANA ▪ Connect multiple ERP systems to a single standalone
SAP EWM
▪ SAP S/4HANA where only SAP EWM is used to
support warehouse operations
▪ Independency of downtimes of SAP S/4HANA ERP
system
▪ Connecting to SAP ERP and SAP S/4HANA systems

Comparison embedded vs. standalone deployment option
SAP S/4HANA’s code line, simplified data model, and modern user experience are consistent for both
decentral and embedded. Decentral EWM in SAP S/4HANA provides additional deployment flexibility in the
IT landscape.

Deployment options support different use cases:

▪ Embedded: highly integrated E2E business
processes with direct usage of master data

Advanced Shipping and Receiving is the key enabler for

future logistics based on:
▪ Harmonization of business processes and technical
objects and with that, high re-use for the different
deployment options
▪ Shared master data
▪ Cross-warehouse loading and unloading (IM, stock
room management, SAP EWM)
New objects were introduced:

▪ Consignment order
▪ (Un)Loading point
Currently only available for embedded deployment

option – decentral deployment option is on the roadmap
