SAP EWM
The Extended Warehouse Management product is an integrated software platform for flexible, automated support for processing goods movements and for managing inventory in the warehouse. "SAP EWM firms the ability to control warehouse processes and manage movements in the warehouse, mitigate problems and issues with enhanced warehouse efficiency, and transform operations into an adaptive fulfillment supply chain that can share its resources". SAP EWM is similar to SAP WM functionality, but with more flexibility in building objects like Warehouse structure, picking, put away, HU (handling unit), RF, and more. Also, Activity Areas, Work Centers, and Resources are elements incorporated into SAP EWM that are new additions since SAP WM. Like SAP WM, SAP EWM is a part of SAP Supply Chain Management (SAP SCM) and supports all the processes within the logistics chain. The integrated functions and business processes within this warehouse management solution provide a high level of process and inventory transparency, a precise planning of warehouse steps, as well as efficient distribution and storage.
SAP Extended Warehouse Management is the latest warehouse management system released by SAP and has been designed to play the leading role in warehouse management software. Within EWM it is possible to map any warehouse structure according to any specific requirements, which in turn increases the speed and efficiency of distribution processes, optimizing internal goods movements and maximizing efficiency and on time response.
