In this course, you have seen a lot of the possibilities that SAP Extended Warehouse Management (EWM) has to offer. SAP WM / SAP Stock Room Management is a valid alternative for smaller warehouses or warehouses with simple putaway and picking processes. However, for warehouses with complex processes and a demand for high availability, SAP EWM is the better choice. Also, with the end of support for SAP WM, customers need to plan the transition to SAP EWM for existing decentral warehouses.
SAP EWM provides flexible, automated support for processing goods movements and managing stock in your distribution facilities, both locally and as a single, integrated entity. It is a native, built-in warehouse control application that integrates with other enterprise software used to centrally manage your business, such as the SAP ERP application. You no longer need multiple warehouse control systems to manage geographically-distributed warehouses.
SAP EWM is not only suitable for companies storing their own material, but also for logistics service providers who need a solution to support the entire value chain, from order entry and fulfillment, to the billing of services.
