This document discusses the functions, processes, and advantages of SAP Warehouse Management (WM). It begins by outlining the agenda and then discusses the key functions of WM which include integration with other modules. The core processes in SAP WM are then reviewed such as cross-docking, picking/location logic, slotting, task management, automated data collection, and yard/dock management. Finally, the advantages of implementing SAP WM are summarized including increased inventory accuracy, improved operator efficiency, reduced customer complaints, improved traceability, and reduced distribution costs.

Advantages of SAP
WM

Increases Inventory accuracy to at least 98%


By the design and implementation of the WM System, the
system will provide a fool proof operation when picking freight
and not allow operators to pick a specific batch that is not
allocated to the shipment.

A 100% directed
operator efficiency.

system

will

increase

Eliminating the paper/pencil operation and utilizing a WMS; the


system will fully direct picking and putaway and determine the
shortest route for the operator to take to maximize operator
efficiency.
Forklift safety improvement with less forklift traffic when determining
the shortest route to take. Fast pick in quick time to meet customer

Advantages of SAP
WM

Lower the amount of customer


resulting from documentation errors.

complaints

Design/Implementation of the WMS to make the system fool


proof and not allow operators to pull lot numbers that are not
allocated on a shipment.
Real World Data: In one of the case studies, client has
received only 14 customer complaints out of hundred thousand
shipments, resulting in batch numbers transposed from human
error.

Advantages of SAP
WM

Dock Management function allowing specific


containers to be loaded with the correct
shipments to eliminate mishaps in loading
exports.
Specific containers can be loaded with the right
shipments using the dock management functionality of
WMS thus allows to efficiently manage the shipments.
Real World Data: In one of the client where WMS is not
implemented, there were 4 containers allocated to ship
to a specific country with product specified to other
countries due to human error of bookings with similar
number sequencing.

Advantages of SAP
WM

Improved product traceability and employee


accountability relating to warehouse moves
within a facility.
WMS implementation will help organizations with hawkeye
traceability levels. This holds good especially with tracing out
products that are outside the warehouses.
Real World Data: In one of the clients, it took almost 45 days to
trace the history of one of the damage product that is sitting
outside the company. The investigation process is very lengthy
and the team has to pull all documentation from various
sources to understand the operator moves.

Advantages of SAP
WM

Increase product traceability by forcing FIFO


and consumptions of raw materials and
finished goods.
Using the FIFO functionality of WMS allows organizations to
trace the consumption of raw material, shipment of finished
good, identifying Lot numbers, Mfg. dates, etc., can be
managed automatically, thus eliminate the humans errors as
the data doesnt need to enter the data manually.

Maintained a uniform pallet tractability


across Warehouses. This helped to reduce
duplicity of pallet numbering.

Advantages of SAP
WM

Reduce the Distribution costs by tracking


the materials/batches.
WMS allows organizations to track materials & batches at any
point of time. This will decrease the amount of wrong
dispatches to the customers, there by decreases the loss in
distribution costs.

Setting of RFID helps in processing seamless


process flow within WH.
Implementation of RFIDs helps organizations to identify the
right batch before the goods are shipped (post goods issue) to
the customer. RFIDs eliminate the usage of manual validations
and every verification is documented within the system.

Advantages of SAP
WM

Cross-Docking: Moving inbound goods directly to outbound trucks so they don't


have to be stored
Picking and Location Logic: Picking goods from certain locations to meet a
particular goal and identifying optimal locations and picking patterns
Slotting: Placing products in the best locations for serving certain kinds of
orders, such as for the most frequently picked items
Task Management (including task interleaving, a method for minimizing wasted
trips by grouping dissimilar tasks)
Automated Data Collection (ADC): A single platform for devices such as bar
code scanners, RFID tags, and voice-recognition systems
Yard and Dock Management: Managing inventory in or near trailers, especially
for cross-docking
