Many companies face the question of how to future-proof their warehouse management strategy. Key topics such as perpetual inventory, mobile scanner solutions, optimized material flow, and replenishment control must be implemented in the best possible way. The goal is to combine high-quality inventory management with efficient order picking and random storage.
Which processes have the highest priority for the transition?
In today’s business world, efficient warehouse management is crucial for a company’s success. Many companies use SAP ERP with the LE-WM module to manage their logistics requirements and optimize as many processes as possible with today’s automation capabilities. These systems are often connected to various external systems such as warehouse control units or pick-by-light systems. However, with the introduction of SAP S/4HANA and the associated Stock Room Management, companies face new challenges.
Stock Room Management no longer offers all the functions of the previous LE-WM. Functions such as Task & Resource Management, the warehouse control unit interface, value-added logistics services, Yard Management, Cross-Docking, Wave Management, and decentralized WM are no longer part of the new solution. This poses the question for many companies of how they can future-proof their warehouse management strategy. Key topics such as perpetual inventory, mobile scanner solutions, optimized material flow, and replenishment control must be implemented in the best possible way. The goal is to combine high-quality inventory management with efficient order picking and random storage.
SAP WM Implementation during Live Operations
Our Expertise and Experience
At XEPTUM, we understand the complexity and individual requirements of every warehouse logistics operation. We know that a solution must always be highly individual and tailored to current and future challenges. Therefore, together with our clients, we develop customized solutions that are tailored to their specific needs.
Which goals are to be achieved through the implementation of SAP WM, and how is the timeline coordinated with other projects?
For some companies, an SAP EWM implementation as a replacement for the existing LE-WM may be too complex and oversized. The migration from SAP ERP to S/4HANA is already a major project, and an additional migration from LE-WM to EWM should not be underestimated. A transfer of LE-WM to integrated functions in S/4HANA can be a good solution approach here. Only the connection of warehouse technology through our interface solution is necessary after the end of WM-LSR usage.
Another advantage of this strategy is that the implementation of WM or Stock Room Management can take place independently of other projects and year-end closing dates. This reduces complexity and entanglement with other projects and significantly increases the time-to-solution. Thus, companies can react flexibly and promptly to changes without having to consider important year-end closing dates.
