Following reporting possibilities available in SAP Extended Warehouse Management:

– Warehouse Management Monitor – central tool for reporting in extended warehouse management. This tool helps warehouse supervisors constantly monitor situation in the warehouse. Warehouse management monitor provides following possibilities:

    • Set of predefined reports, which covers main process areas of warehouse (inbound processes, outbound processes, internal processes). These reports are part of standard product delivery

Transaction /SCWM/MON

 

  • If company has different warehouses the structure of reports can be adjusted based on the warehouse location. It can be achieved by creation of unique monitors per warehouse location. As the template monitor “SAP Standard Monitor” delivered in SAP standard this monitor can be copied and adjusted in accordance with customer needs

 

Creation of own monitor can be done via following img activity:

 

 

  • Creation of data snapshots. It is possible to take historical view on data in warehouse. The idea of functionality. The main idea is to run report available in the hierarchy tree with predefined selection variant and save results of the report execution. Taking of the data snapshot can be scheduled as background job;

 

After snapshot was taken DB pictogram will be shown next to report

  • Monitor methods. Warehouse Management Monitor has so called predefined methods, which can help to execute actions like blocking / unblocking of the storage bins, creation / cancelation of warehouse tasks in the single UI, etc.

– Warehouse cockpit. Warehouse cockpit allow users to visualize in real time key warehouse parameters.

Transaction /SCWM/EGF

 

To show the data on warehouse cockpit there are two possibilities:

  • Option 1: Usage of measurement services. This option imply creation of tailored or calculated measurement service and then display this measurement service on the EGF. For this option no development is required. User can use list of basic measurements services to create tailored measurement services and calculated measurement services

Tailored and calculated measurement services can be created via following transactions:

 

 

  • Option 2: Develop own EGF implementation. This option implies developing of the own ABAP class, which will be used as the data provider;

 

– Usage of CDS views. In S/4HANA 1909 Warehouse KPI Fiori App is available, which can be used to monitor key KPI-s of warehouse.

      Hi ALexey,

      Thanks for sharing, in your post for warehouse management monitor it is detailed described how can reporting be done.

      I would add here, small bits of information.

      1. Measurement services calculates some simple (aggregated) values based on reports from /SCWM/MON with usage of selection criteria (for example you can calculate amount of empty storage bins in storage type XXXX. Or total weight of the warehouse open tasks for picking with process type YYYY).
      2. Measurement services can be used in the EGF without additional development (please check you text, I guess you have mistyped now instead of no ). But in standard historical date are not available as far as I remember system displays only measurement values calculated from /SCWM/EGF transaction. EGF runs TMS/CMS to check actual value every chart refresh.

      BR,

      Daniil
