--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Question: What are the Methods of Data (Master data and Transaction Data) Transfer methods from ERP or SAP S/4HANA (Distributed) to SAP EWM AND Embedded EWM deployment?


Answer: SAP EWM components was seen in its earliest version in SAP version 4.7 as TRM (Task & Resource Management) in the new LES (Logistics Execution Module), also along with DSD (Direct Store Delivery) sometime in 2003 and 2004 as version 1.0 then 2.0. 
It is is in 2013, SAP released its Extended EWM system as Release 9.0 initially for ECC integration to EWM as a Distributed system; this continued into after the release of S/4HANA into EWM Release 9.5 in 2017 (as part of  SAP S/4HANA 2020). Extended Warehouse Management (EWM) Release 9.5 is succeeded by newer versions that introduce enhancements and features aimed at improving warehouse operations and the latest version name today is now referred to as SAP EWM on S/4HANA2025. 
Data Transfer techniques:
Distributed EWM (ALE/IDoc, DRF (data replication framework) vis DRFIMG and DRFOUT), CIF (core-interface), and qRFC techniques are the major frameworks for integrating SAP ERP and SAP EWM in a decentralized EWM implementation on the SAP S/4HANA system.
Master Data
ALE/IDOC Service or DRF - Material Master, Batch and Batch Classification 
ALE/IDOC Service or DRF - Customer/Vendor/Business Partner
IDoc MATMAS Material Master
IDoc BATMAS Batch Master
IDoc CREMAS Vendor Master (Suppliers)
IDoc DEBMAS Customer Master (Customers)
ALE/IDOC Service or DRF (or CIF depending on version) - Storage Location 
Transaction Data 
qRFC technology (for reliable Asynchronous transfers) - Inbound Deliveries, Outbound Deliveries, Production Deliveries
Generate Distribution Model is the configuration framework that provides the transfer objects from the SAP ERP system to SAP EWM and also from S/4HANA to Distributed S/4HANA EWM.
Embedded EWM 
Master Data
It is not necessary to transfer master data through the CIF or IDOC.
Transaction Data
Transmission of transaction data from SAP S/4HANA to embedded EWM still requires the use of qRFC technology. AND "Distributed Model" will also have to be generated.

SAP PM - Create Maintenance Order and Plan Materials using FIORI Apps

Q&A in Class (2025-11-12) S46800

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Question: What are the new functionalities related to Cross-Application SD-MM processes?


Answer: There are no documented full list of functionalities found but the following are known functinalites as at S/4HANA 2023 (probably the following in not a conclusive list). 
  1. Advanced Intercompany Sales for 2-or-more Subsidiaries (External Customer) with integrated + automated intercompany sales order, purchase order, goods movement across the different subsidiaries. 
  2. The Advanced Intercompany Sales process in SAP S/4HANA is an enhanced solution that includes and directly supports Advanced Intercompany Stock Transfer (STO) as part of the same integrated offering. These processes are built on the same framework to automate intercompany transactions between affiliated companies.
  3. SAP S/4HANA "Value Chain Management (VCM)" (available since 1511) is an integrated solution that provides end-to-end visibility and control over supply chain processes, from procurement to delivery. The visibility is only offered via a Fiori VCM Cockpit Fiori App. 
  4. Collaboration via a business network for cross-application MM (Materials Management) and SD (Sales and Distribution) involves using a platform like SAP Business Network to connect buyers and suppliers, allowing for real-time, integrated data flow between the two modules. This process improves inventory management, streamlines order fulfillment, and ensures greater accuracy by providing visibility into supply chain processes like material availability, production status, and fulfillment status across multiple parties.
  5. The Advanced Subcontracting functionality in S/4HANA including simplified planning with subcontracting MRP areas, real-time integration with planning tools like SAP IBP, and robust master data management. The process is more streamlined and efficient than in previous versions in ECC, allowing for separate planning of each subcontractor without needing a specific material master for every component.
  6. S/4HANA now also supports (PM-MM-SD integration) for Advanced Subcontracting for Refurbishment of Equipment-Material-Serial through several features, including the use of refurbishment orders for external repair, the Subcontracting Monitor for process control, and a dedicated Subcontracting Cockpit Fiori app for managing purchasing documents. This allows companies to send parts to external service providers for repair and then track the process and return the refurbished items to their own stock.
  7. SAP S/4HANA Advanced Variant Configuration (AVC) is the next-generation solution for managing highly customizable products within SAP S/4HANA, integrating with SD, MM, and PP to handle complex sales, planning, and production scenarios. It uses enhanced modeling tools with a modern Fiori-based interface and leverages the HANA in-memory database for improved performance, offering more sophisticated rule-based configuration compared to the older LO-VC. AVC streamlines processes from engineering to sales by simplifying the management of product variants through features like advanced simulation and embedded. 
  8. While EWM integration to SD and MM is not new as it was already available for ECC. However, integration of TM-EWM-SD-MM is only available for S/4HANA system. Basic and Advanced Transportation Management (TM) integration with SD, MM and EWM will be replacing the classing LE-TRA (Transportation) which will obsolete in 2027 (or 2030). Both SD Outbound Delivery and MM Inbound Delivery with SAP TM generates the Freight Unit (then Freight Order). The integration between SAP Transportation Management (TM) and SAP Extended Warehouse Management (EWM) links transportation and warehouse planning. A key aspect is the replication of SAP TM's Freight Order into an EWM Transportation Unit (TU), which streamlines activities like loading and staging within the warehouse at the TU level instead of individual deliveries. After warehouse tasks are completed in EWM, updates are sent back to TM to update the corresponding Freight Order and its associated Freight Units.
  9. The SAP Plants Abroad is a feature in certain versions of SAP S/4HANA, but not in all, such as the Public Cloud edition. In the on-premises and Private Cloud editions, it is used for cross-border tax reporting and management, including VAT and Intrastat. For Public Cloud and other cloud-based systems, a similar functionality called Foreign Plant or RITA is used instead.
  10. Advanced Returns Management (ARM) in SAP S/4HANA is an embedded solution designed to streamline, automate, and centralize all return processes (customer, supplier, and stock transfer returns) within a single, integrated framework. It offers enhanced visibility, improved financial control, and dynamic follow-up actions compared to traditional SAP returns processing. ARM provides a Unified and Automated Process in a single, integrated platform for managing customer returns, supplier returns, and inter- or intra-company stock transfer returns, automating the generation of all necessary follow-up documents like deliveries, goods movements, purchase orders, and credit memos.

Question: Condition Record WMST or MWAS for Output Tax determination? 


Answer:  Tax Procedure "0TXD" (for Country "DE") to determine the OUTPUT Tax Condition type "MWAS" attached with Account Key "MWS" to determine the Tax percentages for specific Tax Codes. The Account Key "MWS" is then used to determine the Tax G/L Account. However, from Sales Order's Pricing Procedure can either use The Tax Condition type "TTX1" or "MWST" to determine the Condition Record set with appropriate Tax Codes (eg: "1O" or "5O") based on "Customer Tax Classification" and "Material Tax Classification".

Question: What is the "Warranty" Indicator in the MIGO screen


Answer: The Warranty Indicator in the MIGO screen is for Material activated with Serial number (also Equipment) and specifically for PM & CS (Plant Maintenance and Customer Service) module in the SAP system. It is part of the functionality of the sub-component LO-WTY (Warranty Claims Processing), which is integrated with other modules like Customer Service (CS), Plant Maintenance (PM), Materials Management (MM), and Sales and Distribution (SD). It is important to note the "Warranty Claim Processing" is a complex module but below is a basic idea of Warranty Check.

Q&A in Class (2025-11-06) S4500

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Question: How to use Mass copy of Materials via MMCC?


Answer: To use MMCC in SAP, first you must have an existing Material Master. Then, use transaction MMCC to enter the reference Material Master, specify the number of Material to be "copied". Next, you will have to enter the new Material numbers (or leave blank if Material type allow Internal Number). Also don't forget to change the Material Description. Before executing the COPY, you can also select the Data level to copy (eg: Plant, Valuation, Warehouse etc) + Plant & SLoc (or other Org areas) if needed. The result screen is a LOG that shows success or failure. 
See the following Blog Post for the step:

Question: How to add more than one Ordering Address for Business Partner Vendor in S/4HANA?



Answer: Although the S/4HANA Business Partner allow validity period for the BP Vendor Address but it is not used for more than one Ordering Address like in the above case where Vendor BP69 is the Vendor where it is the Main Company of Vendor which will perform the Material or Service Delivery, Invoicing and Payee; it has 2 branches as the Ordering Address BP69-1 and BP69-2. Note the 2 branches will have to be created as Business Partner with BP Role "0000000" (Address) and "FLVU01" (Purchasing Organization). ("FLVU00" (Company Code) is not required for BP69-1 and BP69-2). When testing PR to PO conversion using FIORI App "Processing PR Professional (V2)" (F1048A), the dialogue to select the Ordering Address is not available (as of today). BUT when converting PR to PO via ME21N; there is a dialogue to select the Ordering Address. 
Additional configuration is not required for this example, please refer to the Blog Posts below for the settings and simulation of the scenario:

Question: Review Stock and Consumable scenario with GR-Valuated and GR-Non Valuated scenario.


Answer: methods of handling valuation (FICO posting) when receiving goods in SAP specifically for Consumables scenario. Valuated GR creates a financial posting at the time of receipt, updating the value of both the stock and the general ledger and controlling. Non-valuated GR only updates the quantity in the system at the time of receipt; the financial posting is deferred until the vendor's invoice is processed later, which is often preferred for fixed assets to comply with regulations that require capitalization upon invoice receipt.

Question: What is the difference between Lot Size key "HB" and "H1"?


Answer: Both MRP Types "VB" and "V1" are standard SAP Manual Re-Order Point MRP Types with parameters that allow configuration for external requirement considerations. The MRP Type can be coupled with different Lot Size Key and this example cover Lot Size key "Replenishment to Maximum Stock Level" where standard SAP Lot Size "HB" and "H1" can be selected where the difference is also if external requirements are to be considered. It is important to match the correct Lot Size Key to the MRP Type to obtain the desired planning results. The purpose of a replenishment maximum is to maintain a high but not excessive inventory level by ensuring stock is always replenished up to a predetermined maximum quantity when it drops below a minimum threshold. This prevents stockouts for fast-moving items, especially when space is limited, and can reduce the frequency of replenishment tasks.
The Blog Post will be attempting to demonstrate the parameters in MRP Type "VB" and "V1" coupled with Lot Size Key "HB" and "H1" to use to replenishment of Stocks to "Maximum Stock Level".
