SAP R/3 4.7 and EWM of SCM 5.0 Integration

[Former Member]

Hi,

Has anyone integrated SAP R/3 4.7 and EWM of SCM 5.0? It has got lot of issues in the following areas.

1. Master Data - Business Partners - Customers are transferred to EWM as locations with location type 1010. But it is not transferred as business partners.

2. Transactional Data - The QRFC is not working for inbound and outbound deliveries and the IDOC interface is not creating the delivery request at EWM.

3. Internal warehouse processes - The simple thing like physical inventory document is not created. For physical inventory document, the system is asking the business partner, responsible person to dispose, shipping office, etc...

The documentation is not that clear and it doesn't give any specifics.

The integration points are not well defined and there are lot of gray elements in the configuration.

Has anyone faced the similar issues?

If you have any inputs, please let me know.

Thanks for your input.

Regards,

SP

Hi SP,

I have not worked on any implementation projects as of now. Anyways, I am attempting to answer the questions posted by you as I work on EWM. I hope my answers help you.

1. Master Data -Business Partners - While CIFing the customers from R3 to EWM, choose the option "2 - Create Both" in CFM2 or CFM3 are then activate the model.

The option 2 will CIF the created customers as both Business Partners and as locations.

2. Not much idea on Idoc's. Can you please provide more info about the status of the inbound and outbound deliveries? This can help checking the QRFC.

3. Some settings to keep in mind while working with the internal Warehouse process - Physical Inventory

- Craete a PI area and assign the permitted document types.

- Assign this PI area to an activity area

- In the customizing Specify Physical-Inventory-Specific Settings in the Warehouse" - uncheck owner, part entiled to dispose and maintain the calender, fiscal year, currency.

I hope this is what you wanted as an answer.

Thanks & Best Regards,
