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.
