SAP EWM - WPT (Warehouse Planning Tool) and Availability Groups as per Warehouse Design
Course Description:
Welcome to our comprehensive online course designed for professionals looking to master SAP EWM's intricacies, with a focus on the Warehouse Planning Tool (WPT) and the strategic use of Availability Groups in warehouse design. This course will take you through the complexities of inventory management within SAP EWM and its transition from traditional SAP ERP methodologies to the modern SCM framework.
Understanding Availability Groups:
-
Conceptual Representation: Availability Groups are a representation of storage locations, designed to streamline stock management and reflect the ownership and disposition of goods within the warehouse. π§°
-
Stock Management in SAP ERP vs. SCM: In SAP ERP, stock is tied to a specific plant and storage location. However, in SCM, managed by the LIME (Logistics Inventory Managment Engine), stock types are more dynamic and are influenced by availability groups. π
Availability Groups & LIME Stock Types:
- Combining Storage Locations & Plant Data: The interplay between storage location and plant data is crucial, leading to a "location-independent stock type" as recognized by EWM. This hybrid approach leverages the strengths of both ERP and SCM systems. π
Implementing Availability Groups in EWM:
- Storage Location Scenarios: Learn how to manage dual storage locations, such as ROD (Received on Dock) and AFS (Available for Sale), and understand the significance of setting up availability groups with the "Mandatory" flag to facilitate seamless transitions. ποΈ
Ownership & Disposition in EWM:
- Legal vs. Functional Ownership: Grasp the nuances between legal ownership and functional ownership within the context of SAP EWM. Discover how these roles can vary depending on the stock type and business scenario, including consignment inventory management. ποΈββοΈ
Real-World Applications:
