Introduction

This blog continuation to previous one – S/4HANA Embedded Extended Warehouse Management (EWM) Overview

The purpose of this blog is to describe the general configuration steps in the SAP S/4HANA Embedded EWM that are required to complete the configuration for the warehouse process setup of the Advanced Production Integration process.

Organization Structure

IMG Menu (SAP EWM)	Enterprise Structure → Definition → Material Management → Maintain storage location

IMG Menu (SAP EWM)	Enterprise Structure → Definition → Logistics Execution→ Define, copy, delete, check warehouse number

IMG Menu (SAP EWM)	Enterprise Structure → Assignment → Logistics Execution→ Assign Warehouse Number to Plant and Storage Location

Activation of BC Sets

This procedure uses BC Sets to make necessary standard settings for the Advanced Production Integration process.

Easy Access Menu (SAP EWM)	Tools → Customizing → Business Configuration Sets → Activation Of BC Sets
Transaction Code	SCPR20

Internal Number Range Setting for Inbound Delivery Type “INBM”

IMG Menu (SAP EWM)	SCM Extended Warehouse Management → Extended Warehouse Management → Goods Receipt Process → Inbound Delivery  → Define Document Types For Inbound Delivery Process

and activities:

• CLSP
• INTL
• INVE
• PICK
• PTWY
• REPL
• STCH

Assign Storage Bins to Activity Areas

IMG Menu (SAP EWM)	SCM Extended Warehouse Management → Extended Warehouse Management → Internal Warehouse Processes → Replenishment Control → Activate Replenishment Strategies in Storage Types

Configure Advanced Production Integration

Define Product Group Types

In this IMG activity, you define product group types. You can then assign values to these under Define Product Groups.

Product group types and product groups serve to group products of the same kind. You define a product group type for the criterion with which the product groups are to be formed.

You can assign product group types to a product in the product master on the Properties 2 tab page.

IMG Menu (SAP EWM)	SCM Extended Warehouse Management → SCM Basis → Master Data → Product → Product Groups → Define Product Group Types

Define Product Group

In this IMG activity, you define the possible product groups for a product group type.

IMG Menu (SAP EWM)	SCM Extended Warehouse Management → Extended Warehouse Management → Cross-Process Settings → Resource Management → Define Queues

Define Queue Determination Criteria

You define queue determination criteria such as activity area, bin access type, and warehouse process type to assign warehouse orders to different queues.

IMG Menu (SAP EWM)	SCM Extended Warehouse Management → Extended Warehouse Management → Cross-Process Settings → Resource Management → Define Queues

Maintain Queue Sequence for Resource Group

Transaction Code	/SCWM/ACTLOG

BAdI for Single-Order Staging

After implementing the BAdi, system calculates the proposed quantity for single-order staging material with the following logic:

1. Call the standard logic, look up the open required quantity.
2. If the open required quantity is > 0, exactly the open required quantity is proposed for staging.
3. If the open required quantity is <= 0 , the system will propose 0 as staging proposal.
