EWM Configuration Workbench
Configure the smallest design that can receive, create and assign work, confirm a physical movement, update the correct integrated status, handle an exception, and reconcile the result. IMG paths and available apps vary by edition, deployment, and release.
Begin with an approved warehouse scenario and physical truth. Separate Customizing, master data, transactional execution, device behavior, interfaces, and operational procedures; they have different owners and lifecycle controls.
- 01
Define scope and ownership
Confirm deployment model, warehouse number, linked enterprise inventory scope, process catalogue, volumes, service requirements, and module ownership.
Evidence Approved boundary and representative scenarios
- 02
Build warehouse structure
Define storage types, sections, bins, activity areas, work centers, doors, staging areas, and relevant availability context.
Evidence Structure supports real layout and work responsibility
- 03
Determine warehouse process
Configure document relevance, warehouse process types, stock and availability behavior, putaway/removal, replenishment, and storage control.
Evidence Expected task source, destination, and intermediate steps
- 04
Design executable work
Configure warehouse-order creation, sorting, limits, queues, resources, waves, packing, and RF/device steps.
Evidence Feasible work package reaches the correct operator
- 05
Control differences
Configure exception codes, follow-on actions, physical inventory, posting changes, and authorization boundaries.
Evidence A negative case remains traceable and recoverable
- 06
Prove integration
Run inbound, outbound, internal, reversal, and exception cases; reconcile EWM stock, delivery, inventory, and FI where relevant.
Evidence Signed document/status evidence chain
TRANSACTIONAL PROOF
One controlled inbound pallet scenario
- 01Create demand and receive
Retain source reference, expected HU/product/quantity, and receipt status.
- 02Create and assign putaway work
Record process type, determined destination, queue, and warehouse order.
- 03Confirm and challenge
Prove the happy path, then repeat with a blocked bin or damaged HU and approved exception.
- 04Reconcile
Compare physical location, EWM stock, warehouse documents, delivery/inventory status, and accounting where relevant.
Apply the workbench through discovery, testing, cutover, and stabilization.
