Configuration of Warehouse Structure and Master
Data for SAP EWM
This document provides an overview of warehouse structure data and master data used in
the standard warehouse W001 or your own warehouse using SAP Extended Warehouse
Management (EWM).
The warehouse structure and master data are used in the business scenario Warehouse
Management with Preconfigured Processes [External].
Prerequisites
You have integrated SAP ERP 6.0 including SAP enhancement package 3 or higher with SAP
EWM 9.0. For more information, see Integration of SAP ERP with SAP EWM [External].
Prerequisites for Option 1
In SAP ERP, you have created a distribution channel 02 in addition to the distribution channel
01, that is delivered in the standard configuration. You do this as follows:
1. Copy the distribution channel 01 in Customizing for Enterprise Structure under
Definition Sales and Distribution Define, copy, delete, check distribution channel
and change the description to Distribtn Channel 02.
2. Change the reference distribution channel for customer and material master to 02 in
Customizing for Sales and Distribution under Master Data Define Common
Distribution Channels .
Process
Option 1: Automatic Configuration of Warehouse Structure and Master
Data for Warehouse W001
1. Automatic configuration of master data in SAP ERP (see SAP Note 1633933)
If SAP EWM is not installed as Add-On to ERP, different naming
conventions apply for customers, vendors, and carriers, since SAP EWM
may be connected to several ERP systems. For example, instead of
creating customer CUST001, you create customer <warehouse
number>CUST01. For more information, see SAP Note 1633933.
2. Automatic configuration of warehouse structure and master data in SAP EWM using
report /SCWM/RPRC_MD or transaction /SCWM/PRC_MD.

As an example the storage type T930 (Doors – Inbound) is used and modeled in the system
as storage type for doors used in the business process Inbound Process with Repacking for
Putaway [External]. Two bins are assigned to the storage type T930. Another example is that
the stocks in storage type T051 are created upon returns or replenishment from storage types
T010, T020, and T050.
Process
To set up the warehouse structure in standard warehouse W001, implement all
configuration steps except the steps marked with Optional. These steps help you to
understand the configuration of the processes but do not require a manual activity.
To configure the warehouse structure in your own warehouse, implement all
configuration steps. In the steps marked with Optional, check if you need to adapt the

SAP Library
Checking the Warehouse Number
You can use this procedure to check the warehouse number W001.
This is an optional step in the configuration of the warehouse structure of W001.
In SAP Extended Warehouse Management (EWM), you combine an entire physical
warehouse under one warehouse number. You can use the warehouse number to manage
several storage facilities, which together form the complete warehouse complex.
On the warehouse number level you specify, for example, the number ranges for the relevant
EWM objects such as warehouse documents. Additionally, settings such as a unit of measure
for weight and volume are assigned. The warehouse number needs to be assigned to a
supply chain unit (SCU) in your system.
For more information about the assignment of the warehouse number to the SCU, see
Warehouse Integration into the ERP Enterprise Structure [External] in Integration of SAP ERP
with SAP EWM [External].
Procedure
1. Check the warehouse number definition in Customizing for Extended Warehouse
Management under Master Data Define Warehouse Numbers .
2. Check the warehouse number assignment in Customizing for Extended Warehouse
Management under Master Data Assign Warehouse Numbers .
3. Check the warehouse number control in Customizing for Extended Warehouse
Management under Master Data Define Warehouse Number Control .
Set up a weight and a volume unit that can be used to define the capacity of a bin
because the units are used for bin capacity check. In warehouse W001 the weight unit
is set to kilogram and the volume unit to cubic decimeter.
4. Check the number ranges for the warehouse number in Customizing for Extended
Warehouse Management under Master Data Define Number Ranges .
Warehouse-independent number ranges are also used for packaging
specification, quality management (QM), transportation units (TUs), and
shipping and receiving (S&R) activities.
5. Check the mapping of the EWM warehouse number to the ERP warehouse number
in Customizing for Extended Warehouse Management under Interfaces ERP
Integration General Settings Map Warehouse Numbers from ERP System to EWM
.
6. Check the mapping of the EWM warehouse number to the ERP plant and storage
locations in Customizing for Extended Warehouse Management under Interfaces

Result
You have checked the configuration of the warehouse number W001.
If you want to run one of the preconfigured business processes in warehouse W001, activate
the application log, for example, for replenishment, wave release, warehouse task creation,
and warehouse order creation. This enables you to get more detailed log information in case
you encounter any problems. You can also activate the log user-dependent. For more
information about the application log objects see the Application Operations Guide for SAP
enhancement package 2 of SAP EWM 7.0 on SAP Service Marketplace at
https://service.sap.com/instguides.
To activate the logs, carry out the following steps:
1. Create the following entries for warehouse W001 on the SAP Easy Access screen for
Extended Warehouse Management under Settings Activate Application Log :

Checking Storage Types
You can use this procedure to check the storage types of warehouse number W001.
A storage type is a storage space, storage facility, or storage zone, which you define for a
warehouse number in SAP Extended Warehouse Management (EWM). The storage type is a
physical or logical subdivision of a warehouse complex, which is characterized by its
warehouse technologies, space required, organizational form, or function. A storage type
consists of one or more storage bins.
You can define the following commonly-used physical storage types in EWM:
 Bulk storage area
 General storage area
 High rack storage area
 Fixed bin storage area
 Rack storage area
On storage type level you define the storage type role, for example, staging area group, work
center, doors, or standard storage type.
Characteristics per storage type are listed here to give you an overview about the main
characteristics from a business process and layout perspective (for example, physical
structure, number of bins, bin height, width and depth, how many pallets fit into a bin). Some
of those characteristics are defined on storage type level, some by settings of dependent
objects, and some by the use within the processes.
List of characteristics and how they are defined:

The storage type settings play a central role in the EWM configuration. For more
information, see the field helps in Customizing.
If you want to use the graphical warehouse layout for displaying the warehouse
structure, you need to set the storage type level according to the physical level in
which the storage type is used.
Procedure

Checking Storage Sections
You can use this procedure to check the storage sections of warehouse number W001.
In SAP Extended Warehouse Management (EWM), a storage section is an organizational
subdivision of a storage type, which groups together storage bins with similar attributes for the
purpose of putaway. The criteria for grouping bins together are freely definable, for example,
heavy parts, bulky parts, fast-moving items, slow-moving items.
For more information about the storage sections defined for each storage type, see
Checking Storage Types [Page 13]. A storage type for doors does not contain any
storage section. A storage type for staging areas must contain a section for the door
determination. For standard storage types we recommend defining at least one
section as additional sections might be required for business processes other than
the preconfigured ones.
Prerequisites
Storage types are already defined in your system.
Procedure
1. In Customizing for Extended Warehouse Management, choose Master Data
Define Storage Section .
2. Check the following storage section definitions for warehouse number W001:
o Storage types T930, T940, and T941 do not have any storage sections
defined.
o Storage type T020 consists of two storage sections: S001 (Fast-Moving
Items) and S002 (Slow-Moving Items).
o Storage type T051 consists of three storage sections: S001 for small parts,
S002 for midsize parts and S003 for large parts.
o Storage type T830 for packing consists of two storage sections: SI01
(Inbound Section) and S001 (Main Section).
o All other storage types consist of a single storage section S001 (Total
Section).
Result
You have checked the configuration of the storage sections in warehouse number W001.

SAP Library
Checking Activity Areas and Activities
You can use this procedure to check the activity areas and activities of warehouse number
W001.
An activity area is a logical section of the warehouse that groups storage bins based on
defined warehouse activities.
Examples of activities include the following:
 Putaway
 Picking
 Physical inventory
For each activity performed in an activity area, you can define a different bin sort sequence.
Activity areas can be generated from the storage types in Customizing for Extended
Warehouse Management under Master Data Activity Areas Generate Activity Area from
Storage Type . In this case the system automatically creates the activity area, assigns it to
the storage type, and defines a default sort sequence for each activity.
Prerequisites
Storage types are already defined in your system.
Procedure
1. Check the following activities defined in warehouse number W001 in Customizing for
Extended Warehouse Management under Master Data Activity Areas Activities

An activity area is defined for the standard storage types T010, T020,
and T050. Additionally, the activity areas A001 and A002 are defined for
storage type T051 to separate the areas for picking of large parts and
picking of small and medium sized parts. For the clarification zone CL-
ZONE (storage type T970) an activity area is defined which is used for
putaway purposes. For physical inventory there are three activity areas
defined: Area PIA2 for the bins with fast-moving parts (storage type
T020, storage section S001) and area PIA1 for all other bins of the
standard storage types. Additionally, the activity area PIAC assigned to
storage bin CL-ZONE-PI in storage type T970 is used for unidentified
products found during physical inventory.
3. Check the assignment of the activity areas to the storage types in Customizing for
Extended Warehouse Management under Master Data Activity Areas Assign
Storage Bins to Activity Areas .
4. Check the sort sequence defined for each activity area and activity in Customizing for
Extended Warehouse Management under Master Data Activity Areas Define
Sort Sequence for Activity Area .
You can define the sort and pick-path sequence for activities within the activity area
to optimize the processes running in the warehouse.
Result
You have checked the activity areas and activities in warehouse number W001.

SAP Library
Creating Storage Bins
You use this procedure to create storage bins in warehouse number W001.
A storage type consists of a selection of storage spaces, which are called storage bins in SAP
Extended Warehouse Management (EWM). The storage bin is the smallest spatial unit in a
warehouse. Therefore, the storage bin represents the exact position in the warehouse where
products are and/or can be stored.
Since the address of a storage bin is frequently derived from a coordinate system, a storage
bin is often referred to as a coordinate. For example, the coordinate 01-02-03 could be a
storage bin in aisle 1, stack 2, and level 3.
You can create single storage bins manually or you can create multiple bins at one time using
a storage bin template. You use the functionality for bin generation in storage types with a
large number of bins.
The following table provides an overview of which bins need to be created manually and
which can be generated by template definition delivered by SAP.
Storage Type Storage Bin Creation
T010 (Pallet Rack – Medium Parts) To be generated using templates 001 – 002
T020 (Pallet Rack – Small Parts) To be generated using templates 003 – 010
T050 (Pallet Rack – Large Parts) To be generated using templates 011 – 012
T051 (Rack – All Size Parts) To be generated using templates 013 – 018
Other storage types To be created manually
You can also upload storage bins from an external file. To upload storage bin data from a
legacy system, on the SAP Easy Access screen for Extended Warehouse Management,
choose Interfaces Data Upload Load Storage Bins .
If you want to use the graphical warehouse layout to display the warehouse structure,
you need storage bin types for the created storage bins.
Storage bin types group storage bins according to their physical attributes (for
example, large bins, small bins).
In addition to that, coordinates for the bins and storage bin templates need to be set
up properly.
For more information, see Checking the Graphical Warehouse Layout [Page 47].
Prerequisites
Storage types, storage sections, activity areas, and activities are already defined in your
system.
Procedure
1. Check the following storage bin types in Customizing for Extended Warehouse
Management under Master Data Storage Bins Define Storage Bin Types :

SAP Library
Warehouse No. Storage Bin Type Description

W001 R12M Bin Front 1.2m for Medium Parts
W001 R27L Bin Front 2.7m for Large Parts
W001 R27M Bin Front 2.7m for Medium Parts
For bin type R27L a max. capacity of 300 is maintained to allow three
europallets with a total capacity of 100 each to be stored in such a bin
(type).
2. Check bin access types in Customizing for Extended Warehouse Management under
Master Data Storage Bins Define Bin Access Types .
You define the bin access type as a resource type qualification. Each bin access type
reflects a resource type’s ability to access stock located in a specific type of physical
area in the warehouse.

Checking Staging Areas
You can use this procedure to check the staging areas defined in warehouse number W001.
Staging areas are storage sections that fall within a storage type with role D. Staging areas
are used to provide interim storage for goods after unloading or before loading. During
loading, the sequence of the bins in the staging area can be used as a loading sequence.
A staging area is defined in the system by a storage type (called staging area group), a
storage section (called staging area), and one or several storage bins (called staging bays).
Additionally, it must be defined as a staging area in the system. A staging area can be
assigned to one or several doors.
Prerequisites
Storage types with type role D are already defined in your system. They contain at least one
storage section and one storage bin.
Procedure
1. In Customizing for Extended Warehouse Management, choose Master Data
Staging Areas Define Staging Areas .
2. Check the following staging areas defined for warehouse number W001:
Staging Area

Configuring Doors
You use this procedure to configure the doors in warehouse number W001 and assign them
to staging areas.
Most steps of this procedure are optional for warehouse number W001.
A door is a location in the warehouse where the goods arrive at or leave the warehouse. The
door is an organizational unit that you assign to the warehouse number.
A door is defined in the system by a door number and a storage bin (door bin). The storage
bin must be located in a storage type with storage type role F. The storage type does not
contain any storage section. Furthermore, a door is assigned to a staging area.
In warehouse number W001, the doors used in inbound processes are separated from the
doors used in outbound processes.
Prerequisites
Storage types with type role F are already defined in your system. They contain at least one
storage bin.
Staging areas are already defined in your system.

Configuration of Master Data for SAP EWM
You use this process to configure and create the master data required for the preconfigured
business processes in warehouse number W001.
Some master data such as vendors, customers, and products must be defined in SAP ERP
first and transferred to SAP Extended Warehouse Management (EWM) using Core Interface
(CIF). This configuration documentation does not describe how to create the data in SAP
ERP or how to transfer them to EWM using CIF. It only gives an overview of the master data
and of the master data settings required for the EWM business processes to run.
Although storage bins are considered as master data in EWM, their configuration is
described in Configuration of Warehouse Structure for SAP EWM [Page 8]. For more
information, see Creating Storage Bins [Page 31].

Creating Vendors, Customers, and Carriers
You use this procedure to create the vendors, customers, and carriers used in the
preconfigured business processes in warehouse number W001. You create the vendors,
customers, and carriers in SAP ERP first. They are transferred automatically to SAP
Extended Warehouse Management (EWM) using Core Interface (CIF). In EWM, the vendors,
customers, and carriers are automatically created as locations and business partners.
Business partners are mainly used in the delivery processing, locations in the EWM routing
guide.

Prerequisites
In SAP ERP you have created a distribution channel 02 in addition to the distribution channel
01 delivered in standard as follows:
1. You have copied the distribution channel 01 in Customizing for Enterprise Structure
under Definition Sales and Distribution Define, copy, delete, check distribution
channel and changed the description to Distribtn Channel 02.
2. You have changed the reference distribution channel for customer and material
master to 02 in Customizing for Sales and Distribution under Master Data Define
Common Distribution Channels .
Procedure
1. Create vendors in SAP ERP.

SAP Library
Important settings:
o Account group
Choose an account group for which CIF is set up, for example, LIEF (Vendor
(ext.number assgnmnt)).
o Confirmation Control
In the purchasing data, choose a confirmation control for which inbound
deliveries are mandatory, for example, 0004 (Inbound Delivery).
2. Create carriers in SAP ERP.
Important settings:
o Account group
Choose account group 0005 (Forwarding agent).
3. Create customers in SAP ERP.
Important settings:
o Account group
Choose an account group for which CIF is set up, for example, KUNA
(Customer (ext.number assgnmnt)).
o Distribution Channels (see prerequisites above)
As the outbound business processes use different sales unit of measures,
you need to create customer master data in two distribution channels.
Distribution channel 01 is used to deliver eaches to the customers in the
business process Outbound Process Using Pick-HUs as Shipping HUs.
Distribution channel 02 is used to deliver cartons to the customers in the
business process Outbound Process Using Wave, Pick-HU, Packing,
Staging, and Loading.
o Address
Since the Outbound Process Using Wave, Pick-HU, Packing, Staging, and
Loading uses different routes to the customers and for each route different
travel distances and transportation durations are defined, we recommend to
maintain the following cities and postal codes for the customers:
Customer Postal code City
CUST001 60311 Frankfurt on the Main
CUST002 55116 Mainz
CUST003 50667 Cologne
CUST004 66111 Saarbrucken
o Region
Each customer is located in a different region. The system copies the
geocoordinates of the region into the EWM location master data. The
geocoordinates are used for distance and transportation duration calculation
in the EWM routing guide in the business process Outbound Process Using
Pick-HUs as Shipping HUs.

SAP Library
o Transportation zone
It is not necessary to assign a transportation zone to the customers for the
outbound business processes.
o Order combination
If the checkbox is selected, you can create cross-delivery HUs in the
outbound business processes in EWM.
o Shipping conditions
Enter shipping conditions 01 in the sales area data on distribution channel
level. Together with the plant and the loading group of the products they are
used to determine the shipping point of the outbound delivery in the outbound
business processes.
Additionally, you can use shipping conditions in the route determination in
EWM. They are not used in the current outbound business processes
because the delivery types are sufficient to determine different routes in the
outbound business processes.
o Terms of payment
Terms of payment are necessary to create billing documents in the business
process Customer Returns with Quality Inspection.
o Incoterms
Incoterms are necessary to create a sales order in the business processes
Outbound Process Using Wave, Pick-HU, Packing, Staging, and Loading and
Customer Returns with Quality Inspection. Therefore it is necessary to
maintain the Incoterms for distribution channel 01 and 02.
4. In EWM, change the business partners for the carriers in business partner (BP) role
CRM010 Carrier:
After the CIF transfer, the carriers exist in EWM as business partner with BP role
Business Partner (Gen.). The carriers must also exist in BP role Carrier in EWM for
the creation of transportation units with carrier as well as for the creation of carrier
profiles in the EWM routing guide.
choose Master Data Maintain Business Partner .
2. Select the business partner CARR001.
3. In the Change in BP role field, enter Carrier (Maintained).
4. Save your entries.
Result
The vendors, customers, and carriers you have created in SAP ERP exist as business
partners and locations in EWM and can be used in the preconfigured business processes in
warehouse number W001.

SAP Library
Creating Products
You use this procedure to create the products used in the preconfigured business processes
in warehouse number W001. You create the products in SAP ERP first. They are transferred
automatically to SAP Extended Warehouse Management (EWM) using Core Interface (CIF).
Afterwards, you maintain additional data in EWM.

Checking Handling Unit Types
You can use this procedure to check the handling unit (HU) types and HU type groups used in
the preconfigured business processes in warehouse number W001.
HU types are used to describe the spatial appearance of a handling unit, and thus to find the
optimum storage bins, or to check whether a handling unit can be stored in a storage bin.
Additionally, you may group the HU types into warehouse-specific HU type groups. By
assigning the HU type groups to the resource types, for example, you are able to control
which resource is able to handle which HUs within the resource management.
HU types are independent from the warehouse number. This means they are valid for
all warehouse numbers in the client.
This procedure is an optional step in the configuration of master data in warehouse
number W001.

Creating Packaging Materials
You use this procedure to create packaging materials that are used for the creation of
handling units (HUs). You assign each packaging material to a packaging material type to
group your packaging materials. The packaging material type contains essential control
characteristics how the packaging material is used.
Packaging material types are independent from the warehouse number. This means
they are valid for all warehouse numbers in the client.

Creating Palletization and Packaging Data
You use this procedure to create palletization and packaging data for the products. In
warehouse number W001, you define palletization and packaging data using the following
methods:
 Alternative units of measure for products (without HU)
 A combination of alternative units of measure for products and packaging
specifications for standard HU types (with HU)
 Packaging specifications for products (with or without HU)
 Packaging specification for pick-handling units
You can create packaging specifications for products, for standard HU types, and for pick-
handling units (HUs). The packaging specifications for products are related to the units of
measure (UoM) defined for the products. In warehouse W001 the units of measure used for
small and medium parts are EA (each), CAR (carton), and PAL (pallet), the units of measure
used for large parts are EA and PAL. The packaging specifications for standard HU types and
for pick-HUs consist primarily of a packaging material (for example, europallet, wire basket, or
carton), as well as an HU type and the HU relevance flag.
Work steps and auxiliary packaging materials are not used in the packaging
specifications for the preconfigured business processes of warehouse number W001.
In warehouse number W001, palletization and packaging data is used for the following
functions:
 Palletization and setting of alternative UoM in an inbound process without HU
For this function you use either alternative units of measure, for example, for small
parts, or packaging specifications for products, for example, large parts.
In the Inbound Process Without Packing Information (Manual GR) [External] and
Inbound Process Without Packing Information (Manual WT) [External], product
PROD-S01 is packed in 900 EA or 18 CAR per pallet. You receive 36 cartons on 2
pallets from your vendor. Based on the alternative units of measure defined for the
product, the system automatically creates two putaway warehouse tasks (in the case
of automatic warehouse task creation upon goods receipt) or proposes to create two
putaway warehouse tasks (in the case of manual warehouse task creation). In the
warehouse task, the alternative unit of measure is PAL. In the quant data in the
source bin and in the destination bin in storage type T020, the alternative unit of
measure is CAR, as this is the preferred unit of measure.
In the Inbound Process Without Packing Information (Manual GR) [External] and
Inbound Process Without Packing Information (Manual WT) [External], product
PROD-L01 is packed in 4 EA per pallet. You receive 8 EA from your vendor. Based on
the packaging specification defined for the product, the system automatically creates
two putaway warehouse tasks (in the case of automatic warehouse task creation

SAP Library
upon goods receipt) or proposes to create two putaway warehouse tasks (in the case
of manual warehouse task creation). In the warehouse task and in the quant data in
the destination bin in storage type T020, the alternative unit of measure is PAL and
the HU type is E1 (europallet).
 Proposal of packaging material at the packing station in an inbound process with HU
For this function, you use either packaging specifications for products, for example,
product PROD-M01, or a combination of alternative units of measure for the products
and packaging specifications for standard HU types, for example, PROD-M11.
The packaging specification for standard HU types is used in this function
only. The advantage of this type of packaging specification is that you do
not have to create packaging specifications for each product.
In the Inbound Process with Repacking for Putaway [External], product PROD-M01 is
packed in 48 EA or 12 CAR per pallet. You receive 96 EA from your vendor. Based on
the packaging specification defined for the product, the system proposes to build two
HUs at the inbound packing station, each with 48 EA in packaging material
EUROPALLET. In the warehouse task and in the HU data the alternative unit of
measure is PAL and the HU type is E1 (europallet).
In the Inbound Process with Repacking for Putaway [External], product PROD-M11 is
packed in the same way as PROD-M01, but you do not define a packaging
specification for the product. Instead, you use a packaging specification for the
standard HU type. The system proposes to build two HUs at the inbound packing
station, each with 12 CAR, in packaging material EUROPALLET. The quantity of 12
CAR is proposed from the alternative units of measure defined for the product; the
packaging material EUROPALLET and the HU type E1 are proposed from the
packaging specification for standard HU types. In the quant data in the destination bin
in storage type T020, the alternative unit of measure is CAR, as this is the preferred
unit of measure
 Determination of alternative UoM for picking warehouse tasks without HUs
For this function you use either alternative units of measure or packaging
specifications for products.
In the business process Automatic Replenishment [External], the warehouse worker
should pick one carton from the source bin for product PROD-S01. In the source bin
in storage type T020, the quant has a quantity of 18 CAR (equal to 900 EA). As the
quant in the source bin is managed in cartons, the system creates a replenishment
warehouse task of 1 CAR (equal to 50 EA) for the movement of the product from
storage type T020 to storage type T051. In the warehouse task, the alternative unit of
measure is CAR. In the quant data in the destination bin in storage type T051, the
alternative unit of measure is EA, as the destination storage type is set up to store the
quants in base unit of measure only.
