SAP EWM Implementation

[Former Member]

Hi Experts,

In the latest version of S/4 HANA, why is EWM called add-on? what's the difference between a module (MM,PP,QM.....) and an add-on?

Nowadays, what are the different types of implementation of EWM?

And are there any differences between a centralized EWM and decentralized EWM functionally speaking?

Thank you in advance.

Regards,

Dora

Hi Dora.

In the latest version of S/4 HANA, why is EWM called add-on? what's the difference between a module (MM,PP,QM.....) and an add-on?

SAP EWM is an add-on for SAP ECC not for S/4HANA. In S/4HANA SAP EWM can be deployed as an embedded solution with a basic license option, but, able to become fully activated with advanced license. See the picture below:

Nowadays, what are the different types of implementation of EWM?

I believe this note can answer this questions: 1606493 - SAP EWM Deployment Options Best Practices

And are there any differences between a centralized EWM and decentralized EWM functionally speaking?

This blog wrote by Emma Zhou can show easily for your the diferences: https://blogs.sap.com/2019/06/19/overview-of-functional-differences-between-the-different-sap-ewm-pr...

I hope you get all the information you need from those links.

All the best.
