 Introduction to Warehouse Management

Purpose

The SAP Warehouse Management system (WMS) provides flexible, mechanized support in processing all goods movements and in managing stocks in your warehouse complex. The system supports scheduled and efficient processing of all logistics processes within your warehouse.

Implementation Considerations

If you manage your warehouse stocks with SAP Inventory Management (MM-IM), you manage the quantities and values of stocks in several storage locations.
In comparison, the WMS allows you to map your entire warehouse complex in detail to the storage bin level. Not only do you gain an overview of the entire quantity of a material in the warehouse; you can also always determine exactly where a certain material currently is in your warehouse complex. With the WMS you can optimize the use of all of your storage bins and warehouse movements, and store material stocks from several plants together in warehouses with random storage.

Integration

The WMS is fully integrated into the SAP environment. Business processes, which you trigger in other application components, lead to physical goods movements in your warehouse. You organize, control, and monitor these goods movements with the WMS.
