Types of SAP WMS
A modern warehouse requires real-time inventory management. With rising customer service requirements each warehouse must upgrade to meet customer satisfaction through timely stock movement in and out of the floor. Finding the right tool to fit into your management system can be difficult. Here are some SAP business supply chain management choices you can select from.
SAP WM
It is the most basic platform and the first original product that has now reached its limit and will not be developed or supported further. It is a helpful stopgap solution to streamline the warehouse process for simple inventory tracking. Together with stock room management, they are a perfect fit for small factories and stores.
SAP EWM
For smaller more manually operated warehouses, EWM is suitable for managing stock and inventory from raw materials in the supply chain to issuing goods receipts to customers. The advanced feature also helps in providing warehouse management solutions for aspects such as put-away strategies, value-added services, and automated integration. As part of the SAP supply chain ERP system, it integrates well with other systems in transport and production.
Benefits
SAP ERP provides a system that improves the management of inventory by reducing stock levels, managing order cycle time, and enhancing order fulfillment rates. Making sure that customer orders are always available and can be shipped out without delay. The warehouse will always contain sufficient supplies to meet demand as and when it arises.
The warehouse management system also makes it easier and faster to manage tasks through automation and employee assistance. Movement through the warehouse of either machinery or stock can be automated to a level that fits all tasks. Tasks that do not require constant supervision can be automated reducing downtime and employees can be given other tasks that require human interaction.
With employees being able to monitor certain aspects of the warehouse remotely mobility is improved and integration of multiple warehouses is simpler. The SAP store also provides paperless warehouse management with all needs being switched to mobile devices and real-time data. The master data is updated each time there is an interaction in the system providing a link between all sectors of the warehouse floor.
