Use

You are using an SAP system as an Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) system. Here you define for each plant and storage location whether you wish to manage your warehouse in an independent, decentralized Warehouse Management system (WMS).

The central ERP system transfers all the information required in the decentralized WMS for the goods movements via a BAPI (Business Application Program Interface). This includes master data such as:

Caution

Note that the following information cannot be sent from the central ERP system to the decentralized WMS:

- Prices in the delivery

-- Export and import data

- Configuration data

- Hazardous material data

- Change messages

Integration

If you have decentralized Warehouse Management, all your business transactions, including inventory management of quantities, are executed in the ERP system, while all the processes required for the physical and logical goods movements run in the decentralized WMS.

In order to create a basis in the decentralized WMS to be able to process deliveries from the central system and also confirm them, the master data of the ERP system is confirmed to the decentralized WMS via the distribution model.

Features

The following tasks are performed in the SAP ERP system:

This ensures that the decentralized WMS concentrates solely on the execution of goods movements in the warehouse.

After the goods movements have been executed in the warehouse, the decentralized WMS confirms the delivery to the SAP ERP system. The corresponding process is then completed and, in most cases, results in a stock posting in the SAP ERP system.
