WM: WM as a part of LE- Review
� Warehouse Management is an integral part of Logistics Execution which
controls the goods movement in and out of the company’s warehouse
� Warehouse Management provides various functionalities like stock
management to bin level, planning and monitoring tools, control of
goods movements, integration with other warehouse control units
available.
� All goods movements (Inbound / Outbound) results in a WM transaction
in SAP System. WM transaction can happen before IM transaction or
vice versa depending on the type of goods movement in SAP.
� Transfer Order is created to record the actual movement of goods within
the warehouse.

� Warehouse, Storage Type, Storage Section/Picking Area are
Organizational elements of Warehouse Management.
� Warehouse Management can be used for a number of different scenarios
in terms of physical warehouse structures
� Master data in Customizing for Warehouse and Storage Type provides
number of control functions for various activities in the warehouse.
� Storage Bin is not a Organization Element of Warehouse Management,
but it is master which can be created manually or automatically using
templates defined in the Customizing.
� Quant is the lowest level at which material is maintained in a warehouse.
Material movement within warehouse happen in terms of quant.

WM: WM’s Interface with IM - Review
� Interface between Inventory Management and Warehouse Management
happens whenever there is any Inventory Management Movement which
affects data in Warehouse Management.- IM – WM Interface don’t come into picture for internal warehouse goods movements
� Enterprise structure definition and assignments are the integration
points at first level for setting up IM- WM Integration
� Movement type is the second level at which IM is integrated to WM
� Interim Storage Areas act as interface between IM and WM.- In other words we can say, Interim storage areas act as bridge between IM and WM.

� Putaway process in Warehouse can happen either followed by a GR or
an Inbound Delivery
� Cross line Putaway for storage bins, help in determine a predefined
sequence of storage bin search as per custom logic for a storage type.
� The flow of search for a storage bin happens as follows- Step1: Storage Type Search- Step2: Storage Section Search- Step3: Storage Bin Search using various Putaway Strategies
� Capacity check function is required to control /check the capacity of a
storage bin while doing putaway activities
� While searching for storage bins during putaway, there are lot of control
functions which provide lot of variety in searching for putting away a
material into the warehouse.

WMFUN_07: WM : Outbound Processes and Stock Removal Control - Review
� Stock Removal process in Warehouse can happen either followed by a GI or an Outbound Delivery
� The flow of search for a storage bin happens as follows- Step1: Storage Type Search- Step3: Storage Bin Search using various Stock Removal Strategies
� While searching for storage bins during putaway, there are lot of control functions which provide lot of variety in searching for putting away a material into the warehouse.
� Summary (For Stock removal)- In movement type, the destination bin is available on the lines of Source Bin.- Storage section don’t come into picture here.- Search Sequence is an important parameter to look for picking material- On the lines of placement indicator, we have stock removal indicator in this case- Destination Interim Storage Area is Determined using WM Mvt Type—Reference Mvttype—IM Mvt type Settings

� Two Step Picking Process need to be activated at Warehouse level as

� RLLNACH2- Along with above factors, this program also considers the open demand quantity with
replenishment quantity
