All companies today are operating in a turbulent economic environment.

Every dimension of business requires greater speed and efficiency. The ability to plan and execute efficiently as well as sense and respond to real-time signals is fast becoming a competitive factor. SAP empowers companies to adapt to an everchanging competitive environment by offering them not only the planning and execution software to manage enterprise operations, but also the visibility and collaboration technology to extend those operations beyond company boundaries. To keep their supply chains running smoothly, companies need to manage their warehouses efficiently. They are looking for software that can help them improve their warehouse management processes. The SAP Supply Chain Management (SAP SCM) application offers extended warehouse management (EWM) functionality that includes support for inbound and outbound processing, facility management and storage, and physical inventory management as well as for cross-docking, workload balancing, and labor management. This functionality has now been enhanced to provide broader support and is available in the SAP Extended Warehouse Management (SAP EWM) application for SAP SCM. SAP EWM provides flexible, automated support for processing goods movements and managing stock in your warehouse facilities. It is designed to work specifically in high-volume warehouses that require support for complex processes. The application brings planning and execution functions closer together, enabling warehouses to take advantage of planning functions as well as complex execution functions. With SAP EWM, you have the option of mapping all your warehouse facilities in detail, down to storage-bin level. This not only gives you an overview of the entire quantity of material in the warehouse, but also lets you determine in exactly which bin a certain material is located. As a result, you can optimize the use of various storage bins and stock movements as well as store material stocks from several plants together in random storage areas. Because SAP EWM is completely integrated with inventory management and delivery processing software, it enables you to control and optimize various warehouse processes. Business processes triggered in other application components trigger movements in your warehouse. You can organize, control, and monitor these movements in SAP EWM.
