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 companys 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.

 Interface between Inventory Management and Warehouse Management


happens whenever there is any Inventory Management Movement which
affects data in Warehouse Management.
- IM WM Interface dont 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.

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 dont 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 TypeReference Mvt

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

this is required to be configured in Customizing for Shipping

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

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

 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
