bundling of warehouse tasks, or processing of inventory differences in your warehouse.

EWM optimizes warehouse capacities and material flows using putaway and stock removal strategies that you canadjust to your needs, or by you using handling units.

Work Center

You can use the work center to map a physical unit in the warehouse, which you use to carry out warehouseactivities such as packing, deconsolidation, weighing, quality inspections, and counting. You can personalize eachwork center, so that each user sees exactly those fields, data, and tab pages that are necessary for their work.

Physical Inventory

You use physical inventory to regularly perform a physical stock take in your warehouse. You compare the actual,existing, physical, stock with the data managed in EWM. By entering physical inventory differences, you update theaccounting data for the stock, according to the results of the physical stock take. If you have performed physicalinventory at least once in a fiscal year for each storage bin/each product, the physical inventory is classed ascomplete.

If you use EWM, the physical inventory is performed at Warehouse Management level. You can perform a physicalinventory based on products and/or based on storage bins. There is a difference monitor available, with configurabletolerance groups, which you can use to define maximum values for posting differences for each user. In addition, thesystem supports automatic posting according to time intervals, different priorities for each individual inventoryprocedure, a zero stock check, and a low stock check. The radio frequency functions are integrated into thephysical inventory and support you when you perform the different physical inventory procedures, such as cyclecounting, physical inventory during putaway, and physical inventory using zero stock check. Handling units are fullyintegrated into the physical inventory process.

Planning and Monitoring

EWM gives you an overview of all goods movements and warehouse stocks. The system supports you in planning,monitoring, and optimizing work processes. For example, it gives you a preview of the workloads for the comingdays, or enables you to take preventive action in critical warehouse processes, so that you can perform stockmovements on time. The extensive monitoring functions give you a current view of all activities in the warehouse.You can control the actual work in the warehouse using the individual monitors.

Radio Frequency Connection

To structure the work in the warehouse efficiently and cost-effectively, you control the warehouse workers' worksteps clearly and simply via mobile radio-frequency terminals.

The radio frequency connection (RF connection) to mobile data entry achieves fast and accurate data transfer. TheRF devices receive data directly from the SAP system and transfer data back to the system. You can enter andverify information using bar codes. This means that you ensure a high standard of quality in your warehouse.

Warehouse Control

EWM also contains an interface to external systems (warehouse control units). This enables you to integrateautomated putaway and stock removal systems, or forklift control systems for all stock movements using thisApplication Link Enabling interface (ALE interface) in the warehouse management system.
