S/4HANA Embedded EWM Integration settings in SAP S/4HANA

Objective –

To provide integration steps for SAP S/4HANA 1909 embedded EWM

Overview –

Embedded EWM is part of S/4HANA installation. It only supports integration with same system instance and client. i.e. it can’t be connected to multiple ERP systems.

We will go through in details of EWM integration settings in S/4HANA 1909.

SAP EWM communicates with other applications of SAP S/4HANA via queued remote function call (qRFC).

 

Setting Path Details
Define RFC Destination Tools → Administration   → Administration   → Network → RFC Destinations (SM59)
  1. Create a new RFC destination with naming convention as <S/4HANA system name>CLNT<client> for example SADCLNT100
  2. Select the connection type as ABAP System i.e. 3
  3. In technical Setting tab, enter Target Host and system number as message server and instance number resp. of SAP Logon system
  4. Check if the connection is established by clicking on ‘Connection Test’.
  5. Verify if logon with the userid and password is working by clicking on ‘Remote Logon’.
Define Logical System SAP NetWeaver → Application Server → IDoc Interface / Application Link Enabling (ALE) → Basic Settings → Logical Systems → Define Logical System (BD54) Create a new logical system with naming convention as <S/4HANA System Name>CLNT<Client> for example SADCLNT100 (S/4HANA Logical System)
Define Dummy Logical System SAP NetWeaver → Application Server → IDoc Interface / Application Link Enabling (ALE) → Basic Settings → Logical Systems → Define Logical System (BD54) Create a new logical system with naming convention as <S/4HANA System Name>EWM<Client> for example SADEWM100 (EWM Logical System)
Assignment of Logical System to Client Tools → Administration → Administration → Client Administration
→ Client Maintenance (SCC4)		 Select your system client and enter the S/4HANA logical system which we defined in step 2 i.e. SADCLNT100
Determination of RFC Destination for Method calls SAP NetWeaver → Application Server → IDoc Interface/Application Link Enabling (ALE) → Communication → Determine RFC Destinations for Method Calls
  1. Select EWM logical system created in step 3 i.e. SADEWM100 and click on ‘Standard BAPI Destination’.
  2. In the RFC destination for BAPI calls field, enter the RFC destination of the SAP S/4HANA EWM system i.e. SADEWM100
  3. Check Table TBLSYSDEST has been updated with the logical system and assigned RFC destination.
Determination of RFC Destination for Method calls from EWM Tools → ABAP Workbench → Development → ABAP Editor (SE38)
  1. Go to program /SCWM/R_ERP_RFC_DEST
  2. On the Assign a Standard BAPI Destination screen, In the RFC Destination field, enter the RFC destination of the S/4HANA system i.e. SADCLNT100
  3. Check Table TBLSYSDEST has been updated with the logical system and assigned RFC destination.
Define Business System SCM Extended Warehouse Management → Extended Warehouse Management → Interfaces → ERP Integration → General Settings → Define Business System
  1. Create a new entry for each system that is part of your system landscape with naming convention as <System Name><Client number> i.e. SAD100.
  2. Create entries for each system.
  3. Check table /SCMB/TBUSSYS has been updated with business system.
Define Own Business System SCM Extended Warehouse Management → Extended Warehouse Management → Interfaces → ERP Integration → General Settings → Define Own Business System
  1. It is defined to name the business system of the system in which you have installed EWM
  2. Create a new entry for each system that is part of your system landscape with naming convention as <System Name><Client number> i.e. SAD100.
  3. Create entries for each system.
  4. Check table /SCMB/TOWNBS has been updated with business system.
Maintain Business System Group SCM Extended Warehouse Management → SCM Basis
→ Integration → Basic Settings for Creating the System Landscape → Maintain Business System Group		 Create a business system group with naming convention as <System Name><Client number> i.e. SAD100.
Define Queue for Transfer to SAP S/4HANA EWM Logistics Execution → Extended Warehouse Management Integration → Basic Setup of Connectivity → Define Queue for Transfer to SAP EWM

Create a new entry with below fields and its values –

Receiver – EWM Logical system i.e. SADEWM100

Queue Type                     Inbound

Agg SQueue                     No Aggregation

MQueue Act                    Mass Queue Disabled

MQueue Par                    1
Setting up QOUT Scheduler SMQS

To enable the automatic processing of messages in the outbound queue, QOUT scheduler is setup.

Go to SMQS transaction and register with below parameters –

Destination                    SADCLNT100

Max. Conn.                    1 (Default)

Max. Runtime                60 (Default)

W/o tRFC                      Empty (Default)

Scheduler Monitoring    0 (Default)
Setting up QIN Scheduler SMQR

To enable the automatic processing of messages in the outbound queue, QOUT scheduler is setup.

Go to SMQS transaction and register with below parameters –

Queue name                    DLW*

Mode                                D (Default)

Destination                       Empty (Default)

Attempts                           Empty (Default)

Pause                               300

Scheduler Monitoring       0 (Default)

 

Repeat the same steps for Queue name DLV*, EWM*, WM*, X*.
Assign Logical System and Queue Type SCM Extended Warehouse Management → SCM Basis
→ Integration → Basic Settings for Creating the System Landscape → Assign Logical System and Queue Type

In this step, Business system group is assigned to Logical system and Queue types.

 

Create entry with below parameters –

Business System Group       SAD100

Logical System                     SADCLNT100

SAP Ind.                                X

Release                                 700

Queue Type                           Inbound

Error Handling                       Strict

Role                                       Not Specified
Control for RFC queues SCM Extended Warehouse Management → Extended Warehouse Management → Interfaces → ERP Integration → General Settings → Control for RFC Queue

It is used to define outbound communication.

 

Create entry with below parameters –

Business System             SAD100

Queue Type                      I Inbound Queues

Aggr. Single Queues        No Aggregation

Mass Queue Act.              Mass Queue Deactivated

Parallel Mass Queues      Leave empty (Default)

Specify Characteristics for System Messages

 

Logistics Execution → Shipping System Modifications Specify Characteristics for System Messages (OVM1)

 

 

It is used to reprocess inbound queues in Logistics Execution that are erroneous due to locking issues.

 

Create entry with below parameters –

Call Type                            Leave this field empty

Work phase                        Leave this field empty

Application Area                 /SPE/IF_SERVICES

Message Number              023

Message Type                   E
Log Sent and Recived Messages Logistics Execution → Extended Warehouse Management Integration → Basic Setup of Connectivity → Log Sent and Received Messages

To log the inbound and outbound messages, this step is performed and is optional.

Create a new entry and For Log received and Log send, select log error messages from the dropdown list
Registering Display Programs for Application Log SMQE

To get the detail error message of the stuck queue, this step is performed and is optional.

Create below entries for each type of queues –

DLV*      /SPE/QUEUE_DISPLAY_TOOLS

DLW*    /SPE/QUEUE_DISPLAY_TOOLS

EWM*   /SPE/QUEUE_DISPLAY_TOOLS

WM*     /SPE/QUEUE_DISPLAY_TOOLS

X*           RSXMB_SHOW_ENTRY

 

In this way, SAP S/4HANA 1909 embedded EWM is configured.

      Hello,

      Thank you for an informative blog. I have noticed a couple of typos

      1. In the step Define Business System the table should be /SCMB/TBUSSYS
      2. In the step Setting up QIN Scheduler the transaction should be SMQR. In the description there is a copy-paste from QOUT.
      3. In the step "Registering Display Programs for Application Log" maybe it would make sense to mention, that we need to choose from the menu Edit - Register display program, though it could be guessed from the name of the step.

      Best regards,

      Vasili Tsikhanenka

      Hi,

      Thanks for the blog.

      On the section on "Determination of RFC Destination for Method calls" --> The RFC we created in the first step is SADCLNT100, not SADEWM100. Since it is an embedded EWM system, we can just point it to SADCLNT100.

      Helpfull might be to also list the Post-Activation Steps for Embedded EWM that is required, on URL https://help.sap.com/docs/SAP_S4HANA_ON-PREMISE/4cef93946a0b48ec89533b3c34443b85/b476c4df59724f2682c1a4af80ddf6e9.html?version=2020&q=Post-Activation%20Steps%20for%20Embedded%20EWM%20Scope.

      Hi Jayant,

      The Program - /SCWM/R_ERP_RFC_DEST is obsolete and any alternate program for this?

      Thank You!

      Yes, look here: SAP NetWeaver → Application Server  → IDoc Interface/Application Link Enabling (ALE)   → Communication  → Determine RFC Destinations for Method Calls (Transaction BD97)

      1. On the Assign RFC Destinations for Synchronous Method Calls screen, select the relevant EWM logical system, for example, EWMCLNT001.
      2. Choose Standard BAPI destination.
      3. In the Assign RFC Destinations for Synchronous Method Calls dialog box, in the RFC destination for BAPI calls field, enter the RFC destination of the SAP EWM system (in capital letters or use the value help).
