4 Inventry and Warehuse Management Business Functin LE, SAP EWM Integratin LOG_LE_INTEGRATION: LE, SAP EWM Integratin Use As f SAP ECC 6.0, Enhancement Package 3 (SAP_APPL 603), the business functin LE, Extended Warehuse Management Integratin is available. With this business functin, yu can benefit frm the tight integratin f SAP ERP 6.0 and SAP EWM that ffers yu pwerful functinality t increase flexibility fr a best-in-class warehuse. Fr mre infrmatin, see the fllwing release nte: Extended Warehuse Management Integratin Effects n Custmizing If yu want t use this functin, yu must activate the business functin LE, Extended Warehuse Management Integratin (LOG_LE_INTEGRATION). See als Fr mre infrmatin, see SAP Library under Business Functin Sets and Business Functins --> Enterprise Business Functins --> Lgistics --> Lgistics Executin --> LE, Extended Warehuse Management Integratin.

5 LOG_LE_INTEGRATION: EWM Integratin (New) Use As f SAP ECC 6.0, Enhancement Package 3 (SAP_APPL 603), yu can use the Extended Warehuse Management Integratin cmpnent t prfit frm the functinal enhancements t the integratin between SAP ERP and SAP Extended Warehuse Management (SAP EWM) in the fllwing areas: Outbund Prcessing Inbund Prcessing Crss-Applicatin Returns Prcessing (LE-IEW-OUT) (LE-IEW-INB) (LE-IEW-X) (LE-IEW-RET) Outbund Prcessing Batch Management Enhancements Replicatin f batch selectin criteria Instead f running a batch determinatin in SAP ERP, it is nw pssible t replicate batch selectin criteria t SAP EWM, where batch search functinality is prvided, which is capable f taking the warehuse layut int accunt. Supprt f the dcumentary batch functinality tgether with SAP EWM This enables the usage f dcumentary batches in an integrated way with SAP EWM. SAP ERP is able t receive dcumentary batches frm SAP EWM during gds receipt frm external prcurement and gds issue fr custmers fr materials managed using dcumentary batches. Kit t Order Yu can use a specific sales bill f materials (BOM) type / kit in a system landscape, where an SAP ERP is cnnected with an SAP EWM. The kit-t-rder prcess using a sales bill f materials in ERP nly supprts part f the scpe that is develped fr the kit-t-rder prcess in the full Service Parts Management (SPM) system landscape (SAP CRM, SAP ERP, SAP EWM, SAP APO). Direct Outbund Delivery Direct utbund deliveries supprt unplanned utbund deliveries and direct sales in the warehuse. Yu can create these deliveries fr external and internal gds recipients directly in the warehuse, withut having t recrd a sales rder r stck transprt rder first. In SAP EWM, yu can als create packaging materials as additinal items in utbund deliveries, enabling yu t update the stcks f these materials using the gds issue psting f the delivery. Accunt Assignment Determinatin (GI Cnsumptin) Accunting infrmatin frm an SAP ERP can be transferred t SAP EWM, which uses this infrmatin in the cntext f Gds Issue/Direct Sales/Warehuse-Internal Cnsumptin t read the standard accunt assignment categries (AACs) 'Cst Center', 'Order', and 'WBS Element'. In additin t the standard AACs in SAP ERP, the

6 custmer can add his wn AACs. Invicing Befre Gds Issue This prcess enables yu t create invices befre the actual gds issue psting is dne. There are tw ptins: Direct Billing Triggered frm SAP EWM, a bill is created and printed in SAP ERP tgether with GTS infrmatin Wait fr Billing Request Yu can create billing dcuments fr multiple utbund deliveries in ne run and print them, tgether with custms dcuments. Delivery Change Request Fllwing an (SD) Sales Order Quantity Decrease Fr an (SD) sales rder item, ne r mre deliveries may be created and distributed t SAP EWM fr further prcessing. The rder quantity remains pen fr changes. If the rder item quantity falls belw the delivery quantity, a change request is sent t the prcessing warehuse system (SAP EWM). The warehuse system may accept the change with a cnfirmatin t update the delivery quantity in the ERP system. Hwever, if the delivery update is rejected by SAP EWM, a wrkflw item can be triggered in SAP ERP fr a manual cnflict reslutin fr the sales rder. Inbund Prcessing Gds Receipt frm Prductin Inbund deliveries are created in SAP ERP at the time manufacturing rder cnfirmatin and distributed t SAP EWM. These inbund deliveries reflect the actual prduced quantities and are used directly fr putaway. Inbund deliveries are nt created synchrnusly t prductin. Instead, a scheduled reprt selects relevant manufacturing rders fr which planned inbund deliveries shuld be created. These planned inbund deliveries are nly persisted in SAP EWM, where they are used primarily fr inbund delivery creatin and secndarily fr wrklad preview purpses. Only inbund deliveries can be used fr warehuse prcessing - putaway and gds receipt psting - whereas expected gds receipts are excluded. Creatin f Expected Gds Receipt (EGR) Dcuments Gds receipt prcessing in SAP EWM is based n inbund delivery dcuments prvided by SAP ERP. These inbund deliveries usually represent the advanced shipping ntificatins (ASNs) prvided by a supplier t annunce that a gds issue has been perfrmed at that supplier's warehuse, and t indicate that the gds are n the way t the receiving warehuse. T supprt the SAP EWM gds receipt functins with data n expected gds receipts, required dcuments are generated based n pen purchase rders, scheduling agreements, and prductin rders. Gds Receipt Tlerances In the new release, the tlerance check n lnger takes place during psting in SAP ERP, rather in SAP EWM during gds receipt at the gate.

7 The tlerance check in SAP ERP is purchasing-dcument based. T supprt a similar check in SAP EWM, the purchasing data (purchasing quantity, tlerance data) is transferred t this system. Fr lng-term purchasing scenaris (schedule agreements), the tlerance check - based n purchasing quantity - leads t less helpful results fr the latest schedules. Therefre, fr scheduling agreements, the tlerance check is mre apprpriate at delivery level. Gds Receipt withut Reference Dcument Fr thse delivery items sent frm an external warehuse where the reference dcument is missing, the purchase rders will be created by the system in the backgrund. There is a new authrity check available fr this functinality. If the creatin is permitted and activated, a new purchase rder fr all items f this delivery with a missing predecessr dcument will be created, except fr packaging material items. Serial Number Handling Enhanced integratin f serial number handling between SAP ERP and SAP EWM: Fr the inbund prcess, the traceability f serial numbers is enabled. With each partial gds receipt, the actual serial numbers are transferred frm SAP EWM t SAP ERP. Fr the utbund prcess, the handling f predetermined serial numbers is supprted. This als applies in the case f a delivery split. Kit t Stck The kit-t-stck prcess enables yu t have a lean assembly prcess in a decentralized warehuse managed by SAP EWM. This prcess can either be driven by a planning in SAP ERP r SAP APO, r manually in SAP EWM. Depending n where the prcess will be started, the integratin with SAP ERP will be realized differently: If the prcess is driven by a planning in SAP ERP r SAP APO, then prductin rders are used in SAP ERP as a basis fr creating inbund and utbund deliveries. These deliveries are then distributed t SAP EWM, where a value-added service rder is created. If the prcess is started manually in SAP EWM by the creatin f a value-added service rder, then the inbund and utbund deliveries will be replicated t SAP ERP. Crss-Applicatin RFID The fllwing prcesses are supprted: Receive Advanced Shipping Ntificatin (ASN) fr inbund delivery (EPCs nly at handling-unit (HU) level/item level) Replicate inbund delivery with EPC at HU-header/item level T supprt RFID enabling within SAP EWM fr HUs, the incming data must be distributed t the EWM system Receive EPC frm SAP EWM during gds issue (EPCs nly at HU-header level) T supprt the sending f the ASN, the EPC infrmatin is sent frm SAP EWM

8 t SAP ERP and cpied t the IDc. The data fr the utbund delivery has t be stred. Prcess f stck transprt rder (EPCs nly at HU-header level during gds issue) Create inbund delivery frm utbund delivery including EPC data at HUheader level. When a stck transprt rder is created and an utbund delivery fr SAP EWM, an inbund delivery with the attached EPC infrmatin is created autmatically in SAP ERP, after the utbund delivery has been cnfirmed. Miscellaneus Text handling enhancements Enables the bi-directinal replicatin f inbund and utbund delivery header, as well as item texts between SAP ERP and SAP EWM. 2-step stck transfers Enables the autmatic creatin f the inbund delivery upn gds issue f the utbund delivery. 2-step scrapping using MIGO SAP EWM supprts a 2-step scrapping prcess. The first step is t mve the material t a physical scrap area such as a physical scrap cntainer), but still hlding the material in the inventry. The secnd step is t finally pst gds issue fr the physical scrap cntainer. It is nw pssible t trigger the tw-step scrapping prcess using the transactin MIGO, with the fllwing ptins: - Scrap predetermined quantity - Scrap whle inventry with quantity retentin cnstraint - Scrap whle inventry GI time Enables maintenance and visibility f the actual GI time in the utbund delivery. Catch Weight In SAP ERP, yu can define a material as catch weight material. In a linked SAP EWM, inventry management fr these materials is dne in a secnd unit f measure independently frm the base unit f measure (fr example, in the units f measure pieces and kilgrams). In an SAP ERP withut Catch Weight Management, inventry management nly uses the base unit f measure. Quantities in ther units f measure are calculated using fixed cnversin factrs. T reduce r avid incrrect entries cmpletely, yu can use the definitin f a tlerance grup t check whether the values entered by a user fr the lgistic quantity and parallel quantity are valid. Returns Prcessing Yu can nw create a Return Material Authrizatin (RMA) fr a return delivery. This enables the integratin with SAP SNC, which prvides a Web interface fr custmers t pack and ship apprved returns.

24 Business Functin Integratin f SCM and SAP ERP SCM_GEN_02: Integratin f SCM and SAP ERP Use As f SAP ECC 6.0 Enhancement Package 3 and SAP SCM 5.1, the Integratin f SCM and ERP 2 (SCM_GEN_02) business functin is available. This business functin cmprises new functins r enhancements in the fllwing areas: Shelf life Subcntracting Interchangeability Shelf Live Cnsideratin f Shelf Life Data The fllwing data is transferred between SAP ERP and SAP SCM: Remaining shelf life data f purchase requisitins and purchase rders is transferred frm SAP ERP t SAP SCM. Remaining shelf life data f SNP stck transfers (with r withut surce lcatin) is transferred frm Supply Netwrk Planning (SNP) t SAP ERP. Minimum Remaining Shelf Life in Batch Determinatin frm Stck Transprt Order The required minimum remaining shelf life frm the stck transprt rder is taken int accunt in batch determinatin in the gds issue psting. When recrding a gds issue against a stck transprt rder, yu can carry ut a batch determinatin prcess. In this prcess, the system searches fr batches with certain characteristic values, such as minimum shelf life r status, accrding t a search schema. Yu can predefine the search schema and the characteristic values accrding t which yu want t search fr the batches. As f this release, the required minimum remaining shelf life and the planned delivery time frm the stck transprt rder are taken int accunt in the batch determinatin prcess. Minimum Remaining Shelf Life in Purchase Requisitin and Purchase Order Yu can display and change the minimum remaining shelf lifein the requisitin and purchase rder. The minimum remaining shelf life is adpted in the PO item when a purchase rder is created frm a requisitin. The minimum remaining shelf life in the purchase requisitin can be ppulated frm a surce f supply (i.e. cntract r inf recrd), the material master, r with data frm SAP SCM. Previusly, the minimum remaining shelf life in the purchase rder was adpted frm the fllwing dcuments and master data in the fllwing rder: reference dcument, RFQ, cntract, inf recrd, material master recrd. Nw the system adpts the minimum remaining shelf life frm the purchase requisitin. If n minimum remaining shelf life has been defined in the requisitin, it is determined frm the afrementined dcuments and master data. Effects n Custmizing Furthermre, yu can specify in Custmizing fr Purchasing via the field

25 selectin fr the purchase requisitin (Define Screen Layut at Dcument Level) whether the field is t be shwn r hidden and whether its cntents can be changed in the Enjy transactins. If the minimum remaining shelf life differs frm that in the assigned purchase requisitin, yu can have a message issued in the purchase rder (Define Attributes f System Messages). Subcntracting Assignment f Multiple Prductin Versins in SAP ERP The subcntracting prcess has been enhanced. Yu can nw assign multiple prductin versins t a subcntracting purchase inf recrd in SAP ERP. T d the assignment, in SAP ERP, chse Lgistics -> Central Functins -> Supply Chain Planning Interface -> Cre Interface Advanced Planner and Optimizer -> Envirnment -> Data Transfer -> Assign Multiple Prductin Versins. Yu can als define whether purchase inf recrds, t which multiple prductin versins are assigned, are transferred frm SAP ERP t SAP APO. Fr mre infrmatin, see the Implementatin Guide (IMG) fr SAP ERP under Integratin with Other SAP Cmpnents -> Advanced Planning and Optimizatin -> Basic Settings fr Data Transfer -> Change Transfer -> Change Transfer fr Master Data -> Cnfigure Change Transfer fr Master Data. Yu can als mark individual prductin versins as invalid in cases where a purchase inf recrd has multiple prductin versins assigned t it. As part f the initial data transfer t SAP APO, SAP ERP transfers nly thse prductin versins that are valid. T mark prductin versins as invalid, yu have tw ptins: Yu can manually define this by setting the Prductin Versin Invalid indicatr fr the relevant prductin versin. T d s, in SAP ERP, chse Lgistics -> Central Functins -> Supply Chain Planning Interface -> Cre Interface Advanced Planner and Optimizer -> Envirnment -> Data Transfer -> Assign Multiple Prductin Versins. Yu can use the reprt SET_PRODVER_VALIDITY t have the system autmatically check whether prductin versins are valid in the backgrund. Yu have tw ptins when yu use the check reprt: Set nt valid entries If yu chse this ptin, the invalid prductin versins are simply marked by the system and are nt transferred t SAP APO as part f the initial data transfer. This is the default setting. Delete nt invalid entries If yu chse this ptin, the invalid prductin versins are autmatically deleted by the system. Multiple Surces f Supply fr Subcntracting Previusly in a subcntracting scenari, Supply Netwrk Planning (SNP) and Capable-t-Match (CTM) culd nly cnsider ne surce f supply fr each subcntracting lcatin. The reasn fr this was that in SAP ERP, yu culd nly assign ne prductin versin t a purchasing inf recrd. Yu culd then nly cnvert this prductin versin t ne prductin prcess mdel (PPM via a PP/DS PPM) r ne prductin data structure (PDS) when transferring data t

26 SAP SCM. As f SAP SCM 5.1, yu can assign multiple prductin versins t a purchasing inf recrd in SAP ERP. Yu make this assignment in the SAP ERP system using a new transactin: Lgistics -> Central Functins -> Supply Chain Planning Interface -> Cre Interface Advanced Planner and Optimizer -> Envirnment -> Data Transfer -> Assign Multiple Prductin Versins. After cnverting the prductin versins t PPMs r PDS, multiple surces f supply are available fr each subcntracting lcatin in the SCM system. In interactive SNP planning, yu can determine the surces f supply as fllws: Fr an SNP stck transfer f type Subcntracting, yu can chse an alternative surce f supply frm a prpsal list in the planning table. Yu can change the surce f supply fr a planned rder in the detail view. SNP and CTM planning runs chse the surces f supply accrding t the rules fr determining surce f supply that are in place (fr example, n the basis f prcurement pririty r cst). Interchangeabililty Integratin f Interchangeability Master Data frm ERP Interchangeability master data can nw be transferred frm the ERP system t the SCM system.
