What are Best Practices for SAP S/4HANA EWM?

Best Practice content has been available from at least 2010 with the Rapid Deployment Solution(RDS). Best Practice documentation provides templates to assist in the implementation of SAP S/4HANA EWM. Best Practices are available for customers and partners with a valid SAP S/4HANA license. The documents are standardised across different processes from Inbound to Outbound.

What's in the Best Practice Content?

  • Process Flows

A detailed process flow is available across ERP and EWM with user roles, this is extremely useful to customers that want to standardise their processes. 

  • Accelerators

Test scripts are delivered to guide unit testing and end-user testing. 

  • Roles

Predefined Roles are available for all warehouse processes, this takes reduces the workload during implementation of authorization team.

  • Master Data, Organizational Data, and Other Data

The organizational structure reflects the structure of an example company. The master data represents materials, customers, and suppliers, depending on the operational focus of the demonstrated processes. The business process is enabled with this organization-specific master data.
