Integrating SAP S/4HANA Private Cloud SAP EWM

Description

You can use this process to ship ordered goods to external customers, using SAP S/4HANA Cloud Public Edition integrated to SAP Extended Warehouse Management (EWM). This process starts with the creation of a sales order and an outbound delivery. The outbound delivery is replicated to the SAP EWM, where an outbound delivery order is created. This document serves as the starting point for the outbound processing within the warehouse. Warehouse tasks are created with reference to the outbound delivery order, and the physical process for picking is executed. During the creation of warehouse tasks, the system determines the location for picking the stock and allocates the stock to the warehouse task. At the end of the process, the goods issue is posted. The goods issue information is transferred from SAP EWM to the SAP S/4HANA Cloud Public Edition system. Subsequent process steps such as billing can be executed accordingly.
