SAP Warehouse Management(WM) Business Blueprint

The SAP Warehouse Management module allows:

1. Definition and mapping of the physical warehousing structures in the system
2. Processing goods movements like – receipts, issues and stock transfers
3. Maintain up to date stock inventories in the Warehousing complex at storage bin level

The SAP Warehouse management is integrated with Material Management (MM), Sales & Distribution (SD), Quality Management (QM) modules. The base document for the material movement will be generated
either in the MM or SD or QM modules.

For all the Goods receipt (GR) from the vendors and other plants, the base document will be generated in MM module. For Goods Issue (GI) for either to production or to other plants the base document will be generated in MM module.

As quality management is active in the organization, all the materials will pass through the quality inspection process during the GR and GI and posting change document (change in the stock type of the material stock i.e. either from quality inspection stock to unrestricted etc) will be generated in quality management for the placement or removal of material in warehouse.

During the GR quality inspection process and online inspection process during production, the base document to return the material to the vendor will be generated in QM module.

For the delivery of goods against sales order, the delivery document will be generated in SD module for the removal of the material from the warehouse.

For handling the customer return materials, the base document will be generated either in SD module.

The inventory will be managed both in storage location level in Inventory management (IM) level in MM module and at bin level in Warehouse Management.

WM module also has RFID & Bar code reading functionality. These can be explored & implemented in future as separate project.
