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.

Workbench rule

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.

  1. 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

  2. 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

  3. 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

  4. 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

  5. 05

    Control differences

    Configure exception codes, follow-on actions, physical inventory, posting changes, and authorization boundaries.

    Evidence A negative case remains traceable and recoverable

  6. 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

  1. 01
    Create demand and receive

    Retain source reference, expected HU/product/quantity, and receipt status.

  2. 02
    Create and assign putaway work

    Record process type, determined destination, queue, and warehouse order.

  3. 03
    Confirm and challenge

    Prove the happy path, then repeat with a blocked bin or damaged HU and approved exception.

  4. 04
    Reconcile

    Compare physical location, EWM stock, warehouse documents, delivery/inventory status, and accounting where relevant.
