Regarding Basic Warehouse Management (Embedded EWM Basic) features

[former_member634748]

Hello All,

I am currently trying to understand the features of Basic Warehouse Management (Embedded EWM Basic) and identify the features that will not be available when migrated from LE-WM to Basic Warehouse Management (Embedded EWM Basic) in S/4.

(a) Regarding grouping and releasing of the outbound delivery requests in Basic Warehouse Management (Embedded EWM Basic).

Warehouse Management System (LE-WM) has the capability to group together outbound deliveries or transfer requests according to certain selection criteria such as time. Wave pick is a special group type and all the grouped requests are processed together. Logistics handlers use RF guns to process the grouped requests in the wave one after the other.

Question 1: Does Basic Warehouse Management (Embedded EWM Basic) have the above capability to group outbound deliveries and release them together ?

If yes, then is the grouping capability same as the wave pick capability based on time constraint ?

I am not looking for any of the below advanced capabilities.

(a) use of wave template
(b) automatic creation of wave and release of the waves
(c) splitting or combining the outbound warehouse requests based on activity are, route, or product.

Question 2: Is Two-step pick functionality available in Basic Warehouse Management (Embedded EWM Basic) ? Step 1 corresponds to picking in a given zone. Step 2 corresponds to allocation of picked items to the individual requirements (orders).

Question 3: Is Interleaving available in Basic Warehouse Management (Embedded EWM Basic) ?

Question 4: My understanding is that interaction with external systems using Electronic Data Interchange (EDI) is available irrespective of use of Embedded EWM Basic or Embedded EWM Advanced. Please confirm if my understanding is correct.

Question 5: Documentation (link) on features of Basic Warehouse Management (Embedded EWM Basic) Release 1909 is very limited. Given the limited documentation, it is difficult to interpret when a feature encroaches into the Embedded EWM Advanced functionality. Where can i read more about Basic Warehouse Management ?

Reference documentation for above questions.

1. Basic Warehouse Management (Embedded EWM Basic) Release 1909: Documentation link
2. Advanced Warehouse Management (Embedded EWM Advanced) Release 1909: Documentation link
3. Warehouse Management System (WMS) Release 1909: Documentation link
4. SAP Extended Warehouse Management Roadmap 1909: Documentation link

Hi Gautham,

If you mean DESADV messages I would answer "yes". As you are "embedded" you can easily set up the typical IDocs for your ERP deliveries.
