Question: Review Purchase Order with EWM Inbound Delivery Reversal Methods. 

Answer: In the EWM Inbound Delivery, before GR or WT confirmation, it is EASY to CANCEL the WT and REJECT the EWM Inbound Delivery which will also CLOSE the ERP LE Inbound Delivery. 

As at S/4HANA 2023 and below: 

• Reversal of GR and Rejection of LE Inbound Delivery is a standard feature in the EWM 

Inbound Delivery as easily executed as long as the WT is not confirmed for the Putaway step.
• BUT for scenario where Putaway is confirmed with the WT, then SAP recommend an API logic to perform this task. 

As at S/4HANA 2025: 

• SAP included a new feature "Reverse GR despite WT Confirmed" within the EWM Monitor which highly simplifies the process step for Reversal and integration to GR Reversal to the ERP system after WT Confirmation.

Questions: Review of an for Process-Oriented Storage Control for EWM Outbound Delivery Process.

Answer: Process-oriented storage control in SAP Extended Warehouse Management (EWM) focuses on managing warehouse operations based on specific processes rather than just physical locations or layout (which is referred as Layout-oriented storage control). This approach enhances efficiency and flexibility in warehouse management. 

Example of Process steps can be Unloading, Counting, Labeling, Oiling, Deconsolidation, Consolidation, Packing, Repacking etc. The following 2 blog posts illustration the process step and an example of the configuration steps:

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

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.

Question: How to implement full box removal for a partial pick in a Packing Work Center?

Answer: There are perhaps more than one method of setting up "full palette removal", here is an example that uses combined Process-Oriented and Layout-Oriented Storage Control with a special Warehouse Order Creation Rule that is configured with "Full Palette Withdrawal". The following Blog Posts illustrate this method. 

See the following Blog Posts: 

https://froggysap.blogspot.com/2025/11/blog-post_56.html

Question: EWM Physical Inventory "Count" via FIORI App and GUI. 

Answer: The following Blog Posts include the necessary configuration required for Ad-hoc Physical Inventory in the EWM system; and subsequently creating Ad-hoc PI Doc, Count and Re-Count steps and finally adjust the EWM and ECC stocks. 

Note: Do note that in the Fiori App "Count Physical Inventory" (App ID F3340), please do not that there maybe some functionality changes to the "entry fields" in the later version of this App in the recently release 2025 (Private Cloud).

Question: Review of Fixed Bin Replenishment in S/4HANA EWM system. 

Answer: SAP EWM fixed bin replenishment (standard Storage tType "0050") is a process that automatically "top-up" a specific Storage Bin ("Fixed Bin") when its stock falls below a minimum threshold (settings can be at the Storage type level or Storage Bin level). 

This is configured by defining a minimum replenishment qty, minimum qty, and maximum quantity for a product in the "Warehouse Product" Storage Type Data (or at the Storage Bin Level), and the system then creates a warehouse task to move stock from a main storage (require removal rule) to the fixed bin when needed via transaction Perform Replenishment run again (/SCWM/REPL).

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".
