Setting Up the Decentralized Warehouse Management
System 
To be able to use the decentralized Warehouse Management system (WMS), you must execute the following settings in the Customizing section for Warehouse Management:
...
1. You activate decentralized WMS as follows, if both systems are SAP systems:
Activities in the Central ERP System
Customizing Activity |
Path |
What You Should Know |
Define warehouse number |
Enterprise structure ® Definition ® Logistics Execution ® Define, Copy, Delete, Check Warehouse Number |
Do not copy a complete warehouse number. In the ERP system, you only require the warehouse number definition. |
Assign warehouse number to the combination of plant / storage location |
Enterprise structure ® Assignment ® Logistics Execution ® Assign Warehouse Number to Plant / Storage Location |
|
Activities in the Decentralized WMS
Customizing Activity |
Path |
What You Should Know |
Define warehouse number |
Enterprise structure ® Definition ® Logistics Execution ® Define, Copy, Delete, Check Warehouse Number |
Copy a complete warehouse number. In the decentralized WMS, the entire range of functions for WMS must be available. |
Assign warehouse number to the combination of plant / storage location |
Enterprise structure ® Assignment ® Logistics Execution ® Assign Warehouse Number to Plant / Storage Location |
|
2. You set up the central SAP ERP system for the link to the decentralized WMS as follows:
Customizing Activity |
Path |
What You Should Know |
Activate decentralized WMS |
Decentralized WMS Integration ® Central Processing ® Application ® Activate Decentralized WMS |
|
Activate and define interface to inventory management |
Integration Decentralized WMS ® Central Processing ® Application ® Activate Interface to Inventory Management |
You define the standard values for deliveries in case not all the required data is available from the underlying document. You do this at the following levels: ● Warehouse number ● Reference movement type ● Delivery type |
Exclude stocks in decentralized WMS |
Integration Decentralized WMS ® Central Processing ® Application ® Exclude Stock in Decentralized WMS |
You exclude stock types that perhaps will not be processed by external, decentralized warehouse management systems. If you implement an SAP System as a decentralized system, this system will process all stock types, with the exception of project stock. |
Define output types |
Basis Components ® Application Link Enabling (ALE) ® Modelling and Implementing Business Processes ® Master Data Distribution ® Scope of Data for Distribution ® Output (Message) Reduction ® Create Reduced Output (Message) Type |
You define a reduced output type for the material master, customer master, and vendor master. |
Define logical systems for the ERP system and the decentralized WMS |
Basis ® Application Link Enabling (ALE) ® Sending and Receiving Systems ® Name Logical System / Assign Logical System to a Client |
|
Generate distribution model |
Decentralized WMS Integration ® Central Processing ® Distribution ® Generate Distribution Model |
For each warehouse number you define a distribution model. You can also use filters that serve to transmit only certain views of the material master or vendor master. |
Generate partner profile |
Basis Components ® Application Link Enabling (ALE) ® Modelling and Implementing Business Processes ® Partner Profiles and Time of Processing ® Generate Partner Profiles |
In the central system, you generate the required partner profiles for all output types and methods within the model view that has already been created. |
Transmit the distribution model to the decentralized WMS |
|
You transmit the distribution model (model view) via the menu option Edit. If both the ERP and the decentralized WMS are SAP Systems, you should transmit the distribution model via the ERP system. |
3. You set up the decentralized SAP Warehouse Management System as follows:
In the Implementation Guide (IMG) for Decentralized WMS Integration, select the path Local Operations (Decentralized Processing) ® Application
Customizing Activity |
Path |
What You Should Know |
Define the number range for warehouse documents |
Activate Number Range for Warehouse Document |
|
Activate Reference to ERP system |
Activate Reference to ERP System |
|
Define conversion for delivery types |

|
Define requirement types for decentralized WMS |
Define Requirement Categories for Decentralized WMS |
