HUGO BOSS live with EWM For Fashion
Hello EWM Community,
Recently fashion brand Hugo Boss went live with SAP Extended Warehouse Management for Fashion.
They have put out a press release about the success of this project. The press release is in German
so I’ve translated it to English for all of you.
The world’s leading Fashion Brand Hugo-Boss is live with the Focus Business Solution “EWM for
Fashion” at their fully automated warehouse for flat packed goods (DE:-Liegeware) in Filderstadt
near Stuttgart, Germany.
The Filderstadt Warehouse is the biggest Hugo Boss Warehouse in Europe and the most modern
built warehouse.With total investment of 100 Mio Euro in new building and automation equipment
etc the Warehouse was finished in time and in budget within 15 months from start in Summer 2012.
The warehouse offers a capacity of 35.000 sq.meter and 400.000 Cartons. The warehouse can ship upto
35 Mio. Fashion Articles across the Europe within 24-48 Hours. Daily on an average a workload of 40 Trucks
is catered to.
Ralf Schneider Director Global Logistics der HUGO BOSS AG explains “Orders can now be processed
in minutes thanks to the modern technology. Earlier the warehouse employees had to walk long w
ays to pick the Articles; this is done by fully automated machines today.
Hugo Boss Runs their Warehouse with “EWM for Fashion Rel 1.0 ”, a Focused Business solution
developed by SAP Custom Development in co-innovation partnership with Hugo-Boss and on offering

Hi Amit and Christian,
I am new to AFS-EWM integration. Fashion clients have to manage large number of SKUs (Grid value/batches) and every season new SKUs are added. So performance of CIF is very crucial.
1) I wanted to get an idea, in general , new SKUs added every season are what percentage of total SKUs.
2) Can BTE (business transaction event) be used to send changes to existing batches and exclude it from CIF model, to reduce the load on CIF.
3) Is it possible to fix root cause for the issue described in the note 2041312.
Thanks in advance for your response.
Cheers
Hi Charl,
1) This solely depends on how the Fashion Products and their Matrix is structured. For Example , a Tshirt would need Size and Color as only two dimensions in its grid . As against a Jeans would have Waist Size , Color , as well as Length identifying SKU.
So X% of seasonal fluctuation for a TSHIRT manufacturer can be no Y % variation for Jeans manufacturer.
2) We would recommend to stick to CIF for master data and Batch master transfers . Any custom modifications could seriously lead to problems.
3) Without a Customer instance , its not possible to make a guess on Root cause. Post this via OSS with a Customer system access.
Regards,
Amit
