2. SAP Business One for Logistics Management offers an unparalleled combination of
functionality for companies with complex warehousing or large numbers of stock
movements. Larger warehouses and distribution centers have long enjoyed the benefits of
logistics management systems, but improving the efficiency of warehouses used to mean a
large investment. Not anymore: now, small and medium sized companies can benefit from
smart technology and streamlined processes that increase productivity, reduce costs and
shorten fulfilment times. SAP Business One for Logistics Management makes the difference.
It offers standard technology, easy installation, guided configuration and a robust platform to
help control costs.
SAP Business One for Logistics Management
With SAP Business One for Logistics Management,
storage locations can be easily defined for each
warehouse. A location within a warehouse is
identified with up-to four coordinates, to identify for
example, zone, aisle, bay and shelf. The quantity of
any item can be distributed to multiple storage
locations in the warehouse, with predefined put-
away preferences for each product. Where put-
away is not immediate (e.g. to accommodate
receipt to dock, or quality inspection processes) the
system keeps track of the ‘unlocated’ line items and
the bin locations may be defined during the put-
away process by appropriate warehouse personnel.
When a stock transaction is performed SAP
Business One for Logistics Management allows the
user to define source and target locations for the
items in the transaction, with multiple source and
target locations for any line item of a document as
required. Since stock counting is significantly
different for warehouses with bin locations, a
sophisticated multi-phase physical stock counting
module is included in the software. Default locations
for incoming and simple source-detection logic for
outgoing transactions make stock and location
management simple. Every location event is
auditable with a sophisticated journaling subsystem
delivering full traceability and complete integration
through to the Pick-and-Pack and delivery
processes. Every transaction can be executed using
mobile hand held barcode terminals for greater
accuracy and efficiency.
Key Benefits

 Multi-phase source and target
locations per line item
 Two stage bin location definition logic
 Tracking of ‘unlocated’ document
lines
SAP Business One for Logistics
Management is ideal for companies with:
 Complex warehousing
 Large numbers of stock movement

3. Functionality
Multi dimensional storage locations
Every warehouse can have different area codes and for each area code you can have 3
additional location dimensions (X, Y, Z) for complete warehouse mapping.
Storage locations
Every storage location is a separate entity with its own properties, including: Location Type
(pick or reserve), Location Class Code (for location capacity management), Single item/batch
control, Accessibility (A, B, C), and Partner Code (locations for business partners). This
enables picking efficiencies for fast/slow moving stock, storage control based on volumes, and
auditable control of mixed or separate batches depending on the user determined
preferences.
Storage location capacity
Storage location capacity is managed through location classes. Capacity management is
optional and can be enabled separately for any storage location to match stock item volumes
to available location capacities.
Storage location stocks
Storage location stocks are fully integrated with stock management in SAP Business One. This
allows stock in a location to be reserved when a sales order is placed for instance, or against
any planned inventory move transaction. Available To Promise figures are maintained to show
stock reservations, delivering a full and accurate real time picture of your stock.
Picking process
The picking process is fully integrated, and picking should be performed on storage location
level. Transactions can be recorded with computer terminals or mobile devices on hand held
terminals, truck mounted terminals, or mobile tablets.
Storage recommendations
Storage recommendations are calculated in the background by the system, according to
customer specific rules. Three kinds of recommendations are supported: incoming, refill and
picking. All recommendations are planned movements that must be validated before being
processed, enabling automation efficiencies while retaining management control.

4. SAP Business One for Logistics Management...
Step 1 Warehouse storage location
setup
For each warehouse you can define the
different locations. This can be done manually
or with a wizard, making set-up simple. Per
warehouse you can have several area codes
and for each area code you can define different
locations with multiple dimensions (X,Y,Z) down
to shelf and bin level.
Step 2 Storage location stocks
After the stock locations are defined you can
allocate existing stock. Per warehouse you can
have an overview of the different stocks. Per
item you can see the various locations and if
applicable the serial and batch numbers for full
traceability.
Step 3 Location classes
Storage location capacity is managed through
location classes. Capacity management is
optional and can be enabled separately for each
storage location. The maximum capacity of a
validated storage location must be defined for
all items.
Step 4 Incoming goods locations
You can either allocate the incoming goods
directly on receipt or later. If you allocate the
items later the system provides visibility and
tools to easily manage unallocated items. With
the SAP Business One for Logistics Management
scenarios you can automate this process, with
the system defining preferred put-away
locations.

5. ...in 8 steps
Step 5 Storage location journal
For each item and warehouse you have a
complete insight into all stock transactions,
stock movements and associated documents.
You can also see what stock is not yet located.
All journals are processed in real-time at every
relevant transaction.
Step 6 Allocation and overview
Every storage location is a separate entity with
its own properties. The main properties are
- Location Type (pick or reserve)
- Location Class Code (location capacity
management)
- Single item and/or single batch
- Accessibility (for A, B or C class items)
- Partner Code, you can have specific storage
locations for business partners.
Step 7 Stock reservation
Extending standard SAP Business One
functionality, SAP Business One for Logistics
Management enables sales order line stock
reservations against quantities, batches and
serial numbered items. These reservations are
blocked for all other transactions except for
this sales order.
Step 8 Pick list stock selection
The picking process is integrated, and picking
should be performed on storage location level.
With the scenario’s tool the system can define
where the goods must come from.
Transactions can be recorded with computer
terminals or mobile devices.
