1) Describe what is SAP EWM?

SAP EWM is an Extended Warehouse Management of SAP AG’s Supply Chain Management room of
solutions. An integrated software platform is provided by the Extended Warehouse Management
Product for flexible, automated aid for processing goods movements and inventory management in
the warehouse.

2) Describe Storage Bin in EWM?

In EWM the physical location of the storage area is represented by the storage bins wherein the
products are stored in Warehouse. Storage Bins are at the lowest stage of organization structure and
you have to mention its exact place when you keep an object in a Warehouse.

3) Enlist different warehouse process types available in the SAP EWM system?

The different types of warehouse process in SAP EWM system are given below:

• Stock Removal.
• Putaway.
• Internal Movement.
• Physical inventory.
• Goods receipt posting.
• Cross Line putaway.
• Goods issue posting.

4) In EWM System what is the use of the Rf framework?

Rf In SAP EWM stands for Radiofrequency mobile data entry that allows real-time communication
between EWM system and warehouse employees.

To connect to the SAP system, the Rf framework supports both GUI and browser-based devices.
Screen templates can be created and merged with a so-called display profile. The presentation device
is assigned to the display profile.

5) What is the pick pack and pass of goods in the EWM system?

This helps with the activities like picking of goods, then packing them and transporting them in a
warehouse. Also, they can be used in the RF environment and works with the same process as it
works in the standard RF process. This process of picking, packing, and transportation of goods
continues to move from one activity area to another till it reaches the destination point in the system.
6) Describe Value-added services in Warehouses Management.

The product processing to be done in Warehouse are defined by Value-added services and it
constitutes activities like labeling, assembling, packing, etc.

7) What do you mean by Expected Good Receipts?

Expected good receipts are used to create inbound deliveries. In EWM, machine creating goods
receipts without an inbound is also possible.

Advantages of using Good Receipts

• This happens in the EWM machine only. You could still execute an anticipated goods receipt if your
ERP is down in EWM.
• In production order an expected goods receipt is totally based on statistics so it could be used as a
preview of goods receipts.
• This system calls for Notification Expected goods Receipt and Expected items receipts as the two files
to use in EWM gadget.

8) What is the Lowest Unit and Highest Unit in a Warehouse Structure?

The Warehouse number is the highest unit in a Warehouse and a storage bin is the smallest unit.

9) What happens if no storage location order identified in the ordered item?

The storage location is determined when the system creates the outbound delivery and copies it into
the delivery item. The storage location that is entered in the item is entered the outbound delivery.

10) What do you mean by storage control and what are its kinds?

The product actions are decided by storage control in a warehouse. It is used for stocking removal
systems and executing put away in the warehouse.

Its types are:-

• Layout oriented
• Process-oriented
11) How can I add a system later in case the system ID of my production system is
unknown?

You will be required to create a new data set in your development system in case you want to add
another system (test or production). In step 'Use Cases' in the implementation Tool for System
Connection the user needs to select the 'Maintain the system Landscape'. The data will be proposed
by the system for a current client. The data is not required to be changed. A system connection can
be added to the new system.

The systems which have already been maintained can also be added, as per your wish, but it is not
mandatory. The system tool for warehouse connection can be again started and a new data set can
be subsequently created which contains one more logical system. In case you have already changed
the settings for the standard warehouse you need to select 'Implement your own warehouse' in step
‘Use case’.

12) Define the work Center in a warehouse?

In the warehouse, the work center is used as the storage type and it also acts as a unit to perform
packing, deconsolidation and weighing activities. It performs certain roles like- pick a point or pick
point identification. It also helps in the quality check.

13) Discuss the difference between System Driven and user-Driven?

Difference between System Driven and user-Driven:

• System Driven: Here the sequence of the warehouse orders, is all dependent on the sort of sequence.
And this assigned sequence can be configured and later the system itself drives the option and arrange
the sequence for joining the activity areas.
• User-Driven: Here the sequence is maintained manually. This also means that it can also be done by
the material flow system (MFS).

14) What do you understand by the denial scenario in the outbound delivery system?

When the warehouse task cannot meet the quantity as much as it is requested then the outbound
delivery request system is configured in such a way that it can raise a pick denial. And in case of
stock discrepancy which is picked by the employee, another stock is not available and if available it is
available in a small quantity in the warehouse as per the outbound delivery, then also we can
configure the system.
15) How do we check the various menu structure of the extended warehouse
management system?

To check the various menu structure of the extended warehouse management system first, we need
to login to the SCM system and then we need to navigate to extended warehouse management mode
in the SAP menu.

To manage basic functions in the warehouse management we need to use the various transactions:

Warehouse Monitor /SCWM/MON

Maintain Inbound Delivery /SCWM/PRDI
Maintain Outbound Delivery /SCWM/PRDO
RF Environment /SCWM/RFUI
Creating Storage Bin /SCWM/LS01
Confirm Warehouse Task /SCWM/TO_CONF
Warehouse product Maintenance /SCWM/MAT1

16) What should be kept in mind, while working with serial numbers in EWM?

In EWM if the product you are using requires a serial number, then the quantity role SN (number of
serial numbers) should be activated. Elsewhen you are adjusting the delivery quantity, errors may take
place. An item type that is ideal for products can be utilized with serial number requirement which is
meant for all products.

17) Why more than one transport request is required sometimes?

Once your client is set up in a manner that you have to record customizing changes then a
customizing request for the data itself is required and during activation for customizing. In the first
screen of the guided activity, you need to enter the transport request for the data set. For customizing
it, you would be prompted by the system to enter the transport request and before the activation, it
gets generated. You can here make use of the same transport request. A workbench request has to
be entered on the activation screen for these settings once the cross-client settings are created by
the implementation tool.

18) While the system displays confirmation, why the delivery does not always get
displayed?

In the overview of the goods movement, the delivery numbers in Transaction C014 can be displayed.
This is, however, possible only if the goods movements for these deliveries have not been posted by
the EVM system yet. It is suggested that you may use transaction VL06 (Delivery Monitor) if you wish
to display any additional information.
19) To create a transfer order for moving partial stocks within a warehouse number,
what are the Transactions available?

LT01 & LT10 are two transactions are available to create a transfer order for moving partial stocks
within a warehouse number:

• Create Transfer Order without Source Object (transaction code LT01)

• Create Transfer Order from Stock List (transaction code LT10)
1. The outbound delivery plant for each item is defined in the order. The system
can automatically determine the outbound delivery plant. Identify the highest
priority outbound delivery plant in descending priority order?

Outbound delivery plant defined in Customer material information master record, outbound
delivery plant defined in ship-to party master record, outbound delivery plant defined in material
master

2. What happens when no storage location for picking is specified in the ordered
item?

a) The system determines the storage location when it creates the outbound delivery and copies it
into the delivery item.
b) The storage location entered in the ordered item is used in the outbound delivery

3. What is the goods movement status of the outbound delivery after a goods
issue has been cancelled?

Not yet started

4. You must always specify a batch before goods are issued. What is the solution
if the delivery quantities of an item are to be taken from different batches?

a) In Warehouse Management
b) manually in the batch split screen of the delivery item
c) Using automatic batch determination when creating the outbound delivery

5. What is the requirement for the Purchase order items that are included when
the inbound delivery is created?

They should have a confirmation control key

6. Movements involving the Inventory Management system use storage areas

that are defined as storage types in the Warehouse Management system and as
storage locations in the IM system. The goods receipt for a purchase order is
posted first in Inventory Management and the goods are then brought into the
warehouse via a storage area, the goods receipt area. What are these storage
areas called?

Interim storage area The interim storage area plays a special role and can be generally be recognized
at first glance in the standard system by their key (which starts with a 9). These storage areas form a
sort of bridge to Inventory Management. Good receipt area and goods issue area are typical
examples of interim storage areas.
7. Where can we find the exact whereabouts of a material quantity in the
warehouse?

Storage bins In Warehouse Management, Storage bins are master data created either from the
application menu or in Customizing. Based on this master data, the stock overview in Warehouse
Management shows the exact whereabouts of a material quantity in the warehouse.

8. Some kinds of material; for example, certain fluids are not suited to interim
storage in a goods receipt area. They are taken directly to the destination
storage bin when they arrive (for example, in a road tanker). In this case, the
receipt of the goods posting in the Inventory Management should not trigger
the creation of transfer requirement. How can we set this?

Special movement indicator

9. Sometimes a customer cancels an order at the last minute or wants to

postpone the delivery until a much later time than planned. If the goods have
already been picked and taken to the goods issue area, they have to be
returned to storage. What is the transaction available and what are its
functions?

a) Transaction LT0G
b) You can return an entire delivery quantity to storage
c) You can return the quantity from individual transfer order items

10. What are the transactions available to create a transfer order for moving
partial stocks within a warehouse number?

a) LT01
b) LT10
Two transactions are available to create a transfer order for moving partial stocks within a
warehouse number:
1. Create Transfer Order without Source Object (transaction code LT01)
2. Create Transfer Order from Stock List (transaction code LT10)
Q-1) In case the system ID of my production system is unknown then how can
I add a system later?

In case you want to add another system (test or production), the you will be required to
create a new data set in your development system. The user needs to select the
'Maintain the system landscape' in step 'Use Cases' in the Implementation Tool for
System Connection. The system will then propose the data for the current client. You are
not required to change those data. You can then add a system connection for the new
system. You may also add all other systems which have already been maintained, incase
you wish to, but it is not a mandate.

You can start the system tool for warehouse connection again and subsequently create a
new data set which contains one more logical system. You will be required to select
'Implement your own warehouse' in step 'Use case', in case you have already changed
the settings for the standard warehouse.

Q-2) Why do I require more than one transport request sometimes?

When your client has been set up in such a manner for recording customizing changes,
then you require a customizing request for the data set itself and for the customizing
that, during activation, the implementation tool creates. You will be required to enter the
transport request for the data set in the first screen of the guided activity. The system
prompts you to enter the transport request for the customizing it then it generates
before the activation. The same transport request can be utilized.

You would need to enter a workbench request for these settings on the activation
screen, once the implementation tool creates cross-client settings.

Q-3) Do I have to assign the business characteristic INV to the SCU of the plant
I want to use and then assign it to EWM?

In case you plan to assign multiple plants to an EWM warehouse number, the following
alternatives are available for you:

The can utilize the SCU of a plant as the central SCU for the warehouse number. In this
case, the user can proceed as described in the integration guide.

The user can create an SCU for the warehouse number manually in EWM. For doing so,
in the application menu, select the extended Warehouse Management > Master Data >
Maintain Supply Chain Unit (transaction /SCMB/SCUMAIN). User enters a location type
(for instance, 1008 warehouse) and choose 'Create'. Enters a description along with the
address data. On the 'Business Characteristics' tab, create an entry with the
characteristic 'INV'. Save the SCU.

Note: that you must always create the SCU hierarchy for this SCU. The user assigns the
warehouse number to this SCU in a subsequent step of the integration guide.
Q-4) Why does the system does not always display the delivery, when
displaying the confirmation?

The delivery numbers in transaction CO14 in the overview of the goods movements can
be displayed. However, this is only possible only if the EWM system has not posted any
goods movements for these deliveries yet. In case you want to display additional
information for the deliveries, the it suggested that you use transaction VL06 (Delivery
Monitor).

Q-5) The system issues error message /SPE/MAN 022 ("Postreading of BOM is
not permitted; PRM exists for order &1"), when I try to postread the master
data? How can I still continue to postread the master data inspite of all this ?

Generally, this behavior is appropriate and is not an error.

The user can use transaction SM30 to set message /SPE/MAN 022 as a warning in the
table T160M. IMPORTANT: This should only be done if you can ensure that the
connected EWM is informed that the existing PMR is not valid. This update is performed
automatically by the system.

For instance, the system could release the order immediately after post reading the
master data and subsequently trigger the WM staging. In this aspect, the EWM receives
all the present information related to this order.

Q-6) How can I verify the document/item types?

As per Release 5.1, SAP Customizing lists a report for verifying the consistency of the
document/item types from a technical and a business view. This report is made available
under "Extended Warehouse Management -> Cross-Process Settings -> Delivery
Processing -> Check of Customizing for Delivery Processing

Q-7) What all should be kept in mind, when working with serial numbers?

If you are using products with serial number requirement, then the quantity role SN
(number of serial numbers) are required to be active. Else the errors may take place
when you are adjusting the delivery quantity. You can also utilize an Item type which is
ideal for products with serial number requirement meant for all products.
