Locations: In SCM EWM, the locations are created via CIF from the SAP ERP system. A SCU is created automatically when the location is created in SAP EWM. The location can refer to a plant, a shipping point, a vendor or a customer in the SAP ERP system. In the Embedded version of EWM, it is not required to replicate locations. We can manually create SCUs for the warehouse.
Business Partner: In SCM EWM, the business partners are created via CIF from the SAP ERP system. The business partner can refer to a vendor or a customer in the SAP ERP system. In the Embedded version of EWM, it refers we don’t need to CIF the vendors or customers. EWM reuses the central database tables of Business Partner. For the S/4 HANA EWM decentral version, we can distribute the business partners by using IDocs or Data Replication Framework (DRF).
Product master: In SCM EWM, the materials are CIFed from the SAP ERP system which creates product in SAP EWM. CIF is not required in the Embedded version of EWM. EWM reuses the central database tables of Material Master. For the S/4 HANA EWM decentral version, we can distribute the materials by using IDocs or Data Replication Framework (DRF). Warehouse product master is optional but it is required for put-away or picking strategies or replenishment to work. We can create warehouse product using /SCWM/MAT1 or using monitor method or by executing the Slotting.
Batch: In SCM EWM, the batches are CIFed from the SAP ERP system which creates batches in SAP EWM. CIF is not required in the Embedded version of EWM. EWM reuses the central database tables of Batch Master. For the S/4 HANA EWM decentral version, we can distribute the batches by using IDocs or Data Replication Framework (DRF).
Batch classifications/characteristics: In SCM EWM, the batch characteristics are CIFed from the SAP ERP system which creates batch characteristics in SAP EWM. CIF is not required in the Embedded version of EWM. EWM reuses the central database tables of Batch Characteristics. For the S/4 HANA EWM decentral version, we can distribute the materials by using IDocs or Data Replication Framework (DRF).
Storage bins: Storage bins are the lowest org. unit of the warehouse. These represents the physical location or co-ordinates of a stock in the warehouse. We can create the storage bins manually using /SCWM/LS01 or by the template /SCWM/LS10 or by copying the existing bins using monitor methods or by uploading the bins using /SCWM/SBUP.
Storage bins sort sequence: A bin sequence represents the path in which order the warehouse activities such as put-away or picking or physical inventory count should happen in the warehouse. We can upload the bin sort sequence using /SCWM/SRTUP or generate by using the transaction /SCWM/SBST.
Packaging specifications: It provides the instructions to pack a product and multiple levels of packing involved. We can create the pack specs using /SCWM/PACK or by uploading the pack specs using /SCWM/ISU.
