Question 5

“What are the points

of attention when

implementing EWM in

SAP S/4HANA?”



What are the points of attention when implementing EWM in SAP S/4HANA?

Embedded

EWM

Reversal of goods receipt

EWM x QM Integration

Migration of EWM Master Data

There are some topics that require special

attention during the project:

▪ Different from QM-WM integration for

some processes. Examples:

▪ Move quality inspection stock from

MM-IM to EWM-managed storage

location (transaction QAC2)

▪ First article inspection

▪ SAP Note 2806070 contains full list of

restrictions relevant for EWM-QM

integration

▪ Goods receipt can be reversed only before

put-away

▪ However, there are several alternative

approaches for entry of goods receipt

corrections in EWM

▪ SAP Note 2551912 describes approaches for

quantity corrections during goods receipt

process

▪ EWM tools for data migration from WM (based on

export /import approach)

▪ Migration directly from CSV files also possible

▪ SAP S/4HANA Best Practice Scope Item 1FU

describes approaches for EWM stock upload.

SAP S/4HANA



https://rapid.sap.com/bp/scopeitems/1FU


▪ SAP S/4HANA LoB products enhance SAP S/4HANA core

functions and drive your company to the Intelligent Enterprise.

▪ Use predictive MRP to optimize and simulate mid/long-term

demand scenarios.

▪ There are accelerators to implement PP/DS in SAP S/4HANA.
