RF-WM implementation

[Former Member]

Hi

Given that the warehouse activity is simple, I am wondering if such warehouse decide to using RF to perform the daily WM operation activity, still require the use of ABAP? as I notice standard SAP already provide and come with all sort of LMXX transaction program which can add-in to our usage for simple warehouse activity.

May I know if a warehouse activities which are not complex, but standard warehouse activities, then the regular and standard SAP RF-WM's LMXX should be good enough or should ABAPer still require?

thanks

Dan.

It really depends on whether the processes provided by SAP (LE-MOB) can cover all business requirements in your warehouse.

Here is the list of processes in ECC6.0 (you can find the list for other version on help.sap.com) that you may want to go through with your warehouse manager. ABAP will be needed if required process is missing in this list.

Hi Daniel,

Yes, you can use the LMXX transaction for the warehouse processes. Please note that these are meant to be used for integrating the mobile devices with SAP.

Your warehouse worker should be equipped with a hand-held RF scanner, which will scan the source storage bin/storage unit and move it to the desired location in the warehouse(destination). This scanned information would be passed on to SAP in real time. SAP ITS Mobile is a standard tool/object provided by SAP for this.

Hi Dan,

you can run warehouses without ABAP I would say. But LMxx world is tricky in many details and reading it's documentation (even several times 😉 does not help, if it does not work in reality. So debugger comes up very quickly....

If you like to start changing dialog layout (w/o 3rd party tools), you need ABAP pretty fast and deep knowledge of LMxx world.

Just try it, configure a simple WM and run LM00 to check if it's sufficient.
