SAP S/4HANA EWM (Extended Warehouse Management)

is a module built on SAP S/4HANA infrastructure and allows customers to take advantage of the higher processing power of SAP HANA and lower the total cost of ownership compared to using standalone or decentralized EWM. SAP EWM (Extended Warehouse Management) module is used to efficiently & effectively manage the inventory in a warehouse. It is also used for supporting the processing of goods movement. SAP EWM allows the company to control its warehouses' inbound and outbound processes and movement of goods in the warehouse. The main process in a warehouse is to manage the incoming and outgoing materials, goods receipt and goods issue, fulfill customer orders, and distribution of goods. SAP EWM application module is one of the leading warehousing applications available worldwide for enterprises both large and small in size. With the help of SAP EWM, all the goods movements are controlled by a warehouse management system and provides the warehouse managers/supervisors the tools to monitor warehouse activities. Additional functions in the warehouse can also be managed through SAP S/4HANA EWM and these are for e.g. creating a serial number, batch number, vendor management inventory, resource optimization, and value-added services. SAP Extended Warehouse Management allows you to not only monitor the quantity of goods in warehouse but to manage other critical functions and delivery of goods efficiently. The basic embedded EWM functionality is available to anyone with an SAP S/4HANA license, with advanced features available via an additional license. In Q4/2016, SAP EWM became an embedded application component within SAP S/4HANA. As SAP S/4HANA is the next generation of ERP to modernize for digital businesses, SAP's business solutions are consumed as part of the SAP S/4HANA giving more choice to customers, allowing true hybrid scenarios and incremental deployments. With the release of EWM over S/4HANA platform, both basic warehousing and extended warehouse management are running on a common code base embedded in SAP S/4HANA. Thus in essence, the SAP EWM is now available as an embedded application in SAP S/4HANA and combines best-in-class proven warehouse management capabilities with the benefits of S/4 HANA. S4HANA EWM comes with a set of new features for warehouse management in different deployment options. These include new and improved Fiori apps for picking, packing and warehouse KPIs, as well as improved stock consolidation and physical inventory. With the powerful new release, you can now extend your visibility immensely and provide employees and customers with real-time insights into your operations. Technically, the simplified integration of the embedded EWM within the on-premise edition of S/4HANA is reached by the adoption of a unified data model (that is, new product code line). The goal is to simplify the data model as much as possible. The primary simplifications include the following:

Core Interface is not used any more for master data including a business partner, material master and batch.

Redundant customizing tables are eliminated.

Direct read of actual data in SAP S/4HANA is realized instead of replication, for example, material values, accounting objects, purchaseorders, production orders, etc.

Advantages of SAP S/4HANA Embedded EWM

The organizations may choose embedded EWM for a number of reasons. For small to mid-size customers, the basic functionality may be enough for their needs. For those with more advanced needs, the application of functionality to their specific business processes should be considered when choosing a license. But no matter which option is picked, those running embedded EWM benefit from ease of deployment and the lowered total cost of ownership, primarily because they only need to maintain and use a single physical system rather than multiple physical systems as in case of standalone EWM. A good number of embedded EWM implementations are being done worldwide and the organizations implementing the same are very much satisfied with the outcomes. Benefits listed by these clients include reduction in master data duplication, removal of additional transactional documents, and the use of advanced SAP Fiori apps available out of box. By embedding EWM on SAP S/4HANA, clients could take advantage of the SAP HANA in-memory database and execute high-speed transactions for their warehousing operations. With each new version of SAP S/4HANA, more functionality was added to embedded EWM, including an ever-growing list of innovative SAP Fiori apps and a stripped-down version called stock room management. SAP S/4HANA Embedded EWM is the functionality that SAP offers for the management of warehouse inside the new release S/4 HANA. In terms of inventory management, SAP EWM helps to subdivide SAP Inventory Management Storage Locations in different specific bins and at the same time it offers all related functionality for the placement in Warehouses (Putaway processes) and the removal from them (Stock Removal processes). It is a functionality every logistics consultant or practitioner should be aware of it. The latest version i.e. SAP S/4HANA EWM 1909 provides a lot of flexibility to the users to define and manage a variety of warehousing landscapes.
