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 companys 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.

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.

Interface between Inventory Management and Warehouse Management
happens whenever there is any Inventory Management Movement which
affects data in Warehouse Management.
-
IM WM Interface dont 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.
-
51
In other words we can say, Interim storage areas act as bridge between IM and WM.

WM : Inbound Process and Putaway Control - Review

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.

In this situation, TO can be created either with reference to Inbound Delivery or Handling

postings when Inbound Delivery is used.
Automatic Creation of TO is not active by default in the standard system,
this is required to be configured in Customizing for Shipping
To enable the processing of Returns from Inbound delivery, the relevant
item category is required to be activated in Customizing
Two Step Picking Process need to be activated at Warehouse level as
well as material level. At the same time Customer Exit is also available to
define the logic for enabling two step picking in a warehouse.

WMFUN_10: WM Interface with Quality Management - Review
Inspection samples can be handled in various ways in WM

Sample handling can be done in foreground or background depending
on the configuration settings.
To activate the QM-WM Interface, storage type search sequence table
and interim storage type search table should be activated for Quality
Management.
While processing posting changes after usage decision, WM takes care
of all the quants with that inspection lot number , irrespective of their
location in the warehouse.

WMFUN_11: Internal Procurement processes with WM - Review
Goods Issue and receipt to and from Production can be executed WM-PP
interface.
WM-PP Interface ensures the supply to Production Supply Area
GR from production is posted automatically in WM (Interim Storage
Area) if WM-PP interface is active, otherwise it has to be carried out
manually
Creation of Production Supply Area and Setting up Control cycle are two
prerequisites for WM-PP Interface
To activate automatic material staging for production orders, production
scheduling profile is defined in customizing.
