Hi All,
I am WM person and have been doing some research on EWM. I would really appreciate if any can reply to my basic questions about EWM. My client has upgraded to SCM 5.0 recently and they only use DP in their APO as of now. But Now I see application EWM in it. I have been reading lot about EWM in these Forums and advantage it has over WM.
My Questions:
1) As per knowledge I got from this community I can use EWM in SCM with out any additional add-ons on ECC. If yes, then do I need to set up complete WM strucure (replicate from ECC) in EWM to start using EWM functional in SCM?? In other words how can I start using EWM?
2) After EWM is set up do we need to do all WM transactions in EWM itself? In that case should GR/GI process is performed in ECC at IM level and putway/picking should be performed in EWM in SCM?!?!?
In other words does user need to logon to ECC and SCM to perform complete Inbound / Outbound process.
3) If we start performing transactions in SCM does system updates stock location, qty in WM in ECC?!?
4) If we want to use new applicaiton, (Eg: 2 step picking in warehouse) which was not used in WM yet. Can this be configured directly in EWM in SCM and start using it in SCM. Or do we need to redo same peice in ECC WM. In that case do we need to care about WM at all?!?!
I know all the above questions are basic. I would really appricate if any one can answer those.
Thanks in Advance,
Sara.
