Introduction As a Production consultant I have been asked many time in interview that, am I aware about EWM. So I am making this. We can say EWM is evolution of Inventory management in SAP Inventory Management (Storage location) -> Warehouse Management -> Extended warehouse management Warehouse (WM) vs Storage location (IM) In Storage location we can get how much stock we have in a location. But in EWM we can get exactly in which location, at which place the product is exactly located (Storage bin). Warehouses require larger spaces and are mostly located in remote areas i.e. outside the plant, where large land mass is available. It enables you to store, ship, and distribute your goods from one single location. This makes it easy for you to track and manage your inventory efficiently. On the other hand, storage facilities are located mostly inside the plant since they need to be easily accessible to customers and for production. Image of Warehouse in business Why Extended Warehouse? In SAP WM has been overtaken by EMW. EWM has the same basic core functionalities as WM but with additional capabilities, such as labor management and internal routing. SAP originally wanted to phase out the WM module by the end of 2025. Process flow difference - WM vs EWM EWM also have 2 versions, Like PPDS in APO and PPDS in S4HANA. Decentralized EWM - 2 separate client system i.e. we need to do transaction with 2 user credentials Embedded EWM - 1 client system. Here I am explaining the Embedded Extended warehouse Management process This is embedded PPDS in S4Hana version. So only one system credential is enough. Even though the EWM system will be configured as Logical system (Soul) inside S4Hana. So the transactions which are happening in ERP will be communicated to EWM logical system. So here the warehouse number need to be created in 2 places both in ERP and EWM as like Plant and Location in ERP and PPDS. For example ERP EWM WH no: WH1 WH no: WH1 ERP PPDS Plant: 1000 Location: 1000 To have a overview about EMW please go through Link  Prerequisites on Basis Check for Logical system configuration. Integration with Other SAP Components - Extended Warehouse Management - Basic Settings for Setting Up the System Landscape - Name Logical System The highlighted one should be there.   Check for Assign Logical System to a Client Integration with Other SAP Components - Extended Warehouse Management - Basic Settings for Setting Up the System Landscape - Assign Logical System to a Client Check for Set Up RFC Destination Integration with Other SAP Components - Extended Warehouse Management - Basic Settings for Setting Up the System Landscape - Set Up RFC Destination The highlighted one should be there. Check for the business function in SFW5 Check for the highlighted entries in table TBLSYSDEST via SE16N Main Part. Overview on Configuration To do EWM transaction we have the below configuration to be done at first. Define the Plant, Storage location, Shipping point, Warehouse number - 3 digits in ERP System Assign ERP Warehouse Number to Plant and Storage Location Assign shipping point to plant Assign the Shipping point condition to Plant and to Shipping Point Assign storage location to shipping point Create EWM warehouse numbers - 4 digits Create Supply Chain Unit - Tcode - SCPR20 - /SCWM/WH_NUMBER Copy Warehouse number combination. Create SCU supply chain unit - PED - /n/SCWM/SCUMAIN Create BP Assign BP & SCU to EWM Warehouse Number Creating the EWM parameters related to ERP Create plant and shipping point as locations in EWM via program /SAPAPO/create_location Validate the same in /n/SAPAPO/LOC3 - shipping point will have SP in prefix Create material master in MM01 in storage location and add additional unit of measure Check the same in APO via /SAPAPO/MAT1 in global data Create the same in EWM via /SCWM/MAT1 at your location Define warehouse number control Define storage type Define storage bin Define staging area Define storage section Define storage BIN type. Define storage access type. Create storage bin in EWM via /SCWM/LS01 or upload program or using template Define Storage bin identifiers Define Storage bin structure Create activity Define activity area Assign the storage type to activity area Create sorting procedure via upload program /SCWM/SRTUP Create staging area Create staging area door determination group Create warehouse door Assign staging area/door determination door determination group Assign staging area/Door determination Group to door Assign the staging area door determination rule in EWM product - /SCWM/MAT1 Assign ERP warehouse to EWM warehouse Map ERP storage location to EWM Assign BP to plant Organization Structure In EWM Warehouse is at the top in hierarchy. Define the below to setup EWM system for doing transaction Plant - OX10 The company is considered as plant. The plant I created is 1111 Enterprise Structure - Definition - Logistics - General - Define Plant I would suggest you to better copy the SAP best practice plant. So that you can configure it later. Storage Location - OX09 You can consider the place where the materials are stored as storage location. Here I created two AFS and ROD. In AFS the finished materials available for sale will be kept which is near by shipping point, so that it can be taken easily. And in ROD the materials just received will be kept and it will be near to loading and unloading point, so that it will be easy to put the materials in to racks whenever its unloaded. Enterprise Structure - Definition - Materials Management - Maintain storage location  Shipping Point - OVXD The place were the truck will stand & take the ordered materials to customer Enterprise Structure - Definition - Logistics Execution - Define Shipping Point Warehouse Number - EC18 - (This is ECC/ S4HANA Warehouse only 3 digits) You can consider all the area, Storage location, shipping point... as warehouse. Enterprise Structure - Definition - Logistics Execution - Define Warehouse Number Assign ERP Warehouse Number to Plant and Storage Location Here we are mapping the plant 1111, warehouse EWM and storage location ROD, AFS together Enterprise Structure - Assignment - Logistics Execution - Assign Warehouse Number to Plant and Storage Location Assign shipping point to plant Here we have to assign the shipping point SHPP to newly created plant 1111 Enterprise Structure - Assignment - Logistics Execution - Assign shipping point to plant Assign the Shipping point condition to Plant and to Shipping Point Here we need to do the sales configuration of Shipping condition Logistics Execution - Shipping - Basic Shipping Functions - Shipping Point and Goods Receiving Point - Determination - Assign Shipping Points Assign storage location to shipping point Here we have to assign the storage location to the shipping point Logistics Execution - Shipping - Basic Shipping Functions - Shipping Point and Goods Receiving Point - Determination - Assign Goods Receiving Points for Inbound Deliveries Define Warehouse Numbers - (This is for EWM system) Later we create Warehouse number for ERP and now we have to create it for EWM Logical system. SCM Extended Warehouse Management - Extended Warehouse Management - Master Data - Define Warehouse Numbers Create one Business Partner in supplier Transaction code BP, see Link to how to create. It need to be maintained in SCU. Party Entitled to Dispose (PED) : Ownership of the Material If EWM warehouse is connected to more that one plant then stock for those plant in EWM warehouse will get differentiated  with Ref to PED Create supply chain unit SCU is Physical location i.e. Address to our warehouse. Transaction code: /SCMB/SCUMAIN - created SCU-WEWM , Type 1008. Also you need to maintain the alternatives. Otherwise you could not assign it to Warehouse. Assign warehouse numbers to SCU. Assign the Owner, PED, SCU to the warehouse. All are BP SCM EWM - EWM - master data - Assign warehouse numbers Creating the EWM parameters related to ERP Integration with other SAP system - Extended warehouse management - Basic settings for EWM linkage- configure EWM specific parameters When you create the warehouse number in ERP it will automatically create this entry. Here you need to change the external WM as EWM. Define Warehouse number control Here you can define the dimensions for the warehouse and it will be populated to your bin type while creating it. SCM Extended Warehouse Management - Extended Warehouse Management - Master Data - Define Warehouse Number Control Create plant and shipping point as locations in EWM via program /SAPAPO/create_location via SE38 This will create the location (1111) and shipping point (SP_SHPP) in EWM. You can check the same in /n/SAPAPO/LOC3 Shipping point will have SP in prefix Define storage type There are different types of storage location. All are differentiated by the storage type role. Standard Storage Type, A  Identification Point , B  Pick Point, C  Identification and Pick Point, D  Staging Area Group, E  Work Center, F  Doors, G  Yard, H  Automatic Storage Retrieval (Material Flow Control), I  Work Center in Staging Areas Group, J  Automatic Warehouse (Controlled by MFS), K  Production Supply You can ask why this door and staging area are considered as storage type because on these area also the materials will be stored for some time. Since these are also considered as storage types. SCM EWM - EWM - master data - define storage type For Normal storage type please maintain these confirm put away , Put away complete, Delete stock identification , put away rule 4 - addition to existing stock, Confirm removal, availability group 002, Storage type role as empty For Staging area storage type please maintain these conf put away , Confirm removal, put away rule - General storage area, Storage type role D For production we mostly use Production supply area. Define Storage section In same storage type we may have multiple sections. Here I have created 2 sections per storage type SCM EWM - EWM - master data - Storage section Define Storage Bin type. In same storage type rack different types of bin will be there. So its need to be defined in system SCM EWM - EWM - master data - Storage bin - Storage bin Type As mentioned earlier these highlighted values coming from warehouse control number Define Storage bin access type. Fork lift, Manual, Reach truck, Order Picker. It will define how the bins can bee accessed.           SCM EWM - EWM - master data - Storage Bin - Storage bin access type Define Storage bin We can create storage bin by following method 1.Create storage bin : /n/SCWM/LS01 2.Generate storage bin using Template 3.Upload Program - /n/SCWM/SBUP (Not shown here) For loading the storage location we need to define bin identifiers and structure. Define Storage bin identifiers It will define the structure for the storage type. SCM EWM - EWM - master data - Storage Bin - Define storage bin identifiers. Define Storage bin structure Here whatever we defined all we need to mention here SCM EWM - EWM - master data - Storage Bin - Define storage bin structure Create Storage bin in Mass using /n/SCWM/LS10 You can do Mass change using /n/SCWM/LS11 Create activity SCM EWM - EWM - master data - Activity areas - activities- Define activity for activity area Define activity area You can either create it manually or generate it based on storage type. It combines a storage bins. Its area to execute the activities , PTW, Picking , Internal movement etc. SCM EWM - EWM - master data - Define activity area Generate Activity Area from Storage Type SCM Extended Warehouse Management - Extended Warehouse Management - Master Data - Activity Areas - Generate Activity Area from Storage Type. This will create set of sorting activity area where you need to add sorting conditions. Assign the storage type to activity area SCM EWM - EWM - master data - Assign the storage type to activity area Define sort sequence for activity areas. So this will create a sorting sequence for the storage locations grouped in the activity area. SCM Extended Warehouse Management - Extended Warehouse Management - Master Data - Activity Areas - Define Sort Sequence for Activity Areas   Do sorting for Storage bins via upload program /SCWM/SRTUP But we can do it one by one via /SCWM/SBST Based on shorting procedure the bins are filled from bottom level to top but last stack to first stack. Create staging area Group (Staging Storage Type) We have defined the staging area Storage type and section. But it should be differentiated by this setting further. For GR we have 2 staging area and for GI we have 2 staging area. SCM EWM - EWM - master data - Staging areas - Define staging area Simply you can say staging area group = staging storage type ST01/ST02 and staging area = staging section SGR1/SGI1 Define Staging Area and Door Determination Groups - Optional SCM Extended Warehouse Management - Extended Warehouse Management - Master Data - Staging Areas - Define Staging Area and Door Determination Groups Create warehouse door Here define which doors are for inbound and which are for outbound SCM EWM - EWM - master data - warehouse door - Define warehouse door Assign staging area/door determination door determination group SCM EWM - EWM - master data - warehouse door - Assign staging area/Door determination Group to door Assign the staging area door determination rule in EWM product The stock comes from DGR1 should go to staging area ST01-SGR1 and stock from DGI2 to ST02-SGI2 SCM EWM - EWM - master data - warehouse door - Assign the staging area door determination rule in EWM product Assign BP to plant The BP is assigned to plant so that it will be fetched in next step automatically. See the disposal party here and next screenshot.  SCM EWM - EWM - Interfaces - ERP integration - General settings - Assign BP to plant Map ERP storage location to EWM Here the ROD should have the availability group as 001 and the AFS should have the availability group as 002.  SCM EWM - EWM - Interfaces - ERP integration - Goods movement - Map storage location from ERP system to EWM Define Number ranges SCM Extended Warehouse Management - Extended Warehouse Management - Master Data - Define Number Ranges- Create NR for all documents and assign it respectively. Assign ERP warehouse to EWM warehouse We have to map the ERP warehouse EWM to the EWM warehouse EMW0 to guide system which is which SCM EWM - EWM - Interfaces - ERP integration - General settings - Assign warehouse number from logical executions Generate Distribution Model for Transaction Data Transfer to SAP EWM Without this step the inbound / Outbound deliveries will not transfer between EWM and ERP Integration with Other SAP Components - Extended Warehouse Management - Basic Settings for EWM Linkage - Generate Distribution Model for Transaction Data Transfer to SAP EWM Once created you can check the same in BD64 Create material master in ERP via MM01 in storage location ROD, AFS also add additional unit of measure check the same in APO via /SAPAPO/MAT1 in global data Create the same in EWM via /SCWM/MAT1  Now create one dummy storage bin and assign it to dummy Process type and create PO, ID, and do the test Created on dummy storage bin in staging area and assigned it to one process type SCM Extended Warehouse Management - Extended Warehouse Management - Cross-Process Settings - Warehouse Task - Define Warehouse Process Type Created one PO in ME21N (Confirmation Control Must) and Inbound delivery in VL31N. Later in /n/SCWM/PRDI we can see inbound delivery. If its not shown then check in SMQ2 for error and correct it accordingly. Later do GR to close the cycle Conclusion This Blog will give you an overview on configuring EWM system. Please comment if there are any changes.

Summary In this article we describe alternative SAP application landscape options for Production Planning and Scheduling and provide guidance on deciding the most suitable target application architecture. The primary focus is Constraint-based Planning and Scheduling. For MRP related options please refer to this article: Solution Options for Material Requirements Planning.  A list of criteria is intended to help evaluating the options to make the right choice for a customer, taking their situation and preferences into account. Business Requirements The business requires the ability to plan and schedule production taking capacity and other constrains into account. Ability to perform detailed planning and scheduling, which enables constraint-based planning through scheduling and sequencing. Optimize Production Planning and Constraints Management and plan production resources finitely beyond S/4HANA MRP functionality (including live MRP, DDMRP). Create production plans and schedules based on business sales, operations, and inventory plans with instant feedback loops from manufacturing and logistics execution. According to SAP Reference Business Architecture the Manufacturing Performance Management business area comprises the following capabilities (Figure 1 - available to view in SAP Signavio Process Explorer) Figure 1 – Manufacturing Performance Management Business Capabilities  Business Capabilities and Process Alignment From the “Plan to Fulfill” end-to-end business process you can drill down to the activities enabled by the business capabilities (Figure 2): Figure 2 – Business Process Module – Activities - Capabilities The Solution Value Flow Diagram (Figure 3) shows the implementation of a Solution Process Module by depicting an implementable combination of Solution Components and their corresponding Solution Capabilities for hybrid deployment. Figure 3 – Solution Value flow   Solution Options The following SAP solutions are available to enable Production Planning and Scheduling capabilities (see Figure 3 above). SAP S/4HANA Enterprise core – basic production planning capabilities: - Material Requirements Planning (MRP) - Capacity Requirements Planning (CRP) This solution option is not discussed further in this article – for architecture decision please refer to Solution Options for Material Requirements Planning. SAP S/4HANA Manufacturing for planning and scheduling (MP&S, aka Advanced Planning) SAP Synchronized Planning for Production (SAP Integrated Business Planning (IBP) + S/4HANA MP&S) SAP S/4HANA Manufacturing for Planning and Scheduling (MP&S) is often referred as Advanced Planning or S/4HANA PP/DS as well. Note that PP/DS (or PPDS) is a function module in SAP APO while S/4HANA has the embedded PP/DS. In this article we will use MP&S as the broader end-to-end solution and refer to the PP/DS module of S/4HANA where appropriate (S/4HANA PP/DS).   Note: Along with the Business Suite, SAP APO mainstream maintenance is going to end by 12/31/2027. Extended maintenance is available until 12/31/2030. For further details please refer to SAP Maintenance Strategy: Maintenance 2040, Product Availability Matrix (PAM), SAP note 1648480. Moving forward, the platform of innovation for production planning is SAP Integrated Business Planning and SAP S/4HANA.   Characterization of the Solution Options The brief description below focuses on the production planning capabilities of SAP S/4HANA and SAP IBP only and is not intended to provide the full feature scope of the products. SAP S/4HANA Manufacturing for Planning and Scheduling SAP S/4HANA Manufacturing for planning and scheduling (aka PPDS) is an integral part of the end-to-end planning capability/suite from SAP and allows the creation of feasible production plans and schedules that optimize scarce resources to stabilize production and help making reliable commitments to internal and external customers. This S/4HANA Enterprise Management core extension, available both on premise and as private cloud edition, in stack and extra stack (side by side as S/4HANA DSC-Edition), ensures that planning and execution are synchronized in real time. SAP S/4HANA Manufacturing for planning and scheduling is a solution for planning production resources and considering finite capacity and material availability constraints, the full APS-functionality directly embedded in S/4 (APS: Advanced Planning and Scheduling). Key capabilities include: Time-continuous scheduling (i.e., down to the second), supporting features like alternative resources, min/max constraints, dynamic setup times and costs Multi-level pegging (i.e., material flow), connecting demand and supply elements Alerting enabling exception-based planning Advanced Planning & Scheduling Optimization Solvers and Heuristics Simulation versions and transactional simulation Industry specific functionality (Block Planning, Campaign Planning, Shelf-Life …) Web based Scheduling Board aka. “Gantt Chart” (Fiori app) Optimize Production Planning and Constraints Management and plan production resources finitely beyond classic MRP functionality Consider capacity and material availability constraints in the planning model Integrate manufacturing master data to define the basis for production planning data structures Streamline scheduling processes throughout global production environments Perform detailed scheduling with a setup matrix, sequence constraints, and alternative modes   Deployment options As mentioned above, S/4HANA PP/DS is available as embedded or “side car” deployment (Figure 4). Technically both are the embedded PP/DS in S/4HANA, but the SAP DSC Edition is limited to supply chain functionalities (see Side by side deployment below) and other S/4HANA modules/functionalities are not available. Figure 4 – SAP S/4HANA MP&S (PP/DS) deployment options Embedded PP/DS SAP S/4HANA Manufacturing for planning and scheduling (embedded PP/DS) is the preferred option. Simplified system landscape Leaner integrations between ERP core and advanced layer of SAP S/4HANA But implies dependency for the move from ERP to SAP S/4HANA Side by side deployment This deployment option is based on SAP Digital Supply Chain Management, Edition for SAP S/4HANA (S/4HANA DSC-Edition) which is an S/4HANA core with only the below embedded solutions – no other S/4HANA functionalities are available: The side car deployment is a valid option to accelerate the supply chain transformation or for hub scenarios. It can be a transition state while planning and executing the transformation from APO and ECC to S/4HANA and IBP.  Rapid supply chain transformation without transitioning from ECC to S/4HANA Modular enhancements integrated with ERP core Enable centralized hub scenarios connected to multiple ERPs (both ECC and S/4HANA) For further information on the potential transition options and deployment scenarios please refer to: SAP Digital Supply Chain Management, Edition for SAP S/4HANA | SAP Community Accelerate Supply Chain Transformation and Innovation (sap.com) SAP Digital Supply Chain Management, Edition for SAP S/4HANA (overview) SAP Digital Supply Chain Management, edition for SAP S/4HANA | SAP Help Portal Additional information: SAP S/4HANA Manufacturing for planning and scheduling PP/DS for SAP S/4HANA (Advanced Planning) - SAP Community Overview of the key functionality of embedded PP/DS on S/4HANA - SAP Community SAP S/4HANA Manufacturing for planning and scheduling - Release 2023 Roadmap: SAP S/4HANA Manufacturing for planning and scheduling (Business Capability: Constraint-Based Production Planning) SAP Synchronized Planning for Production Synchronized Planning for Production (‘SYPP’) is not a standalone product, but a closed loop process of supply chain planning and execution working seamlessly across different planning horizons and time buckets. It combines the planning capabilities of SAP Integrated Business Planning (IBP) for Supply and SAP S/4HANA PP/DS in a synchronized way. SAP IBP translates the customer demand to trigger off the requirements for an efficient manufacturing planning which in turn drives the Detailed Scheduling that are embedded in S/4HANA. The IBP interoperability with PP/DS now offers truly synchronized planning from strategy down to machine level scheduling. SYPP is also available with the standalone edition of PPDS (see above S/4HANA DSC-Edition, side car deployment) offering customers and independent end2end planning environment independent of the ERP backend. Synchronized Planning for Production is one of the building blocks of SAP’s Synchronized Planning strategy. To find out more about the overall Synchronized Planning strategy look here: Achieving Supply Chain Resiliency by Synchronizing Business Decisions (sap.com). Synchronized Planning for Production is based on the following solution components: SAP S/4HANA MP&S (PP/DS) and SAP IBP for Sales & Operations Planning (S&OP) and/or SAP IBP for Response & Supply The solution is SAP IBP supply planning with production planning integration to SAP MP&S (PP/DS). Key capabilities include: Create transparent plans from supply network planning to production planning and detailed scheduling Synchronize your business processes, plans and data - from planning to execution Provide end-to-end visibility and decision support to your planners Order Integration for operational supply planning in real time between SAP IBP and PP/DS in SAP S/4HANA (Figure 5) Key Figure Integration for tactical supply planning by sharing constraints between SAP IBP and PP/DS in SAP S/4HANA Process scenarios with Order integration Figure 5 – Process scenarios with Order integration   Process scenarios with Key Figure (Time Series) integration Figure 6 – Process scenarios with Order integration   Additional information Exploring the Benefits of Synchronized Planning fo... - SAP Community (important links to detailed information on the solution, integration scenarios, processes and setup) Roadmap: SAP Synchronized Planning for Production   Criteria to determine the most suitable target solution Based on the characterization of the solution options SAP S/4HANA Manufacturing for Planning and Scheduling (MP&S) is a mandatory component, either the embedded or the side-by-side deployment option. Manufacturing customers with SAP IBP should consider the Synchronized Planning for Production for the additional benefits. Existing SAP APO customers using APO Supply Network Planning (SNP) and PP/DS can consider Synchronized Planning as a viable alternative to move to S/4HANA and IBP. Questions that can provide some orientation from Production Planning and Scheduling perspective Customer runs SAP ECC and SAP APO (PP/DS and/or SNP) As the mainstream maintenance is nearing its end consider the Synchronized Planning strategy and plan the transition to S/4HANA and IBP.  As a transition state customer can consider S/4HANA MP&S (PP/DS) side by side deployment. Customer with multiple ERP systems and an APO system Consider the transition scenarios and stages to the final target architecture w/ S/4HANA and IBP. Building a roadmap of exact sequencing and phases need careful evaluation of various factor, e.g., the instance options, business processes and priorities. Customer runs multiple ERP systems and need for centralized Production Planning system Consider SAP MP&S (PP/DS) side car deployment for hub scenario.   Customer runs SAP IBP Existing SAP IBP customer with the need for PP/DS capabilities need to consider the SYPP solution - S/4HANA MP&S (PP/DS) and the integration between IBP supply planning and PP/DS. Customer runs ECC  Existing ECC customer with the need for PP/DS capabilities should plan the transition to S/4HANA with embedded PP/DS and consider adding IBP in a later phase.   Decision Tree A simple decision tree to determine the target application architecture is illustrated below:   Conclusion Companies using SAP ECC and SAP APO for PP/DS need to consider the transition options to SAP S/4HANA with embedded PP/DS and replace APO functionality S/4HANA and SAP IBP. The SAP DSC edition for S/4HANA (side car) offers alternatives for the transition as well as for the final target architecture (hub scenario).   ... View more
