Migration of a Highly Automated Hazardous Materials Warehouse from SAP WM to SAP Embedded EWM
From SAP WM to EWM—all within a highly automated distribution center featuring numerous integrated systems and processes. At the SAP Connect Day on Warehouse and Transportation Management, BYK-Chemie, together with LogiPlus, will demonstrate how the transformation was successfully achieved using a brownfield approach. The focus, however, is not only on the technical migration but also on the close collaboration between logistics and IT, ensuring uninterrupted operations, and the transition from a custom legacy solution to a SAP EWM landscape that closely follows the standard.

FOCUS
TOPICS
MIGRATION
Migration from SAP WM
and SAP EWM SCM
Do you have SAP WM and are planning to migrate to SAP EWM or SAP Stock Room Management? Or are you currently using SAP EWM SCM 9.X and need to switch to SAP EWM S/4HANA? Then you've come to the right place! Benefit from our expertise from numerous migration projects.
In February 2020, SAP announced the end of mainstream maintenance for SAP Business Suite 7 at the end of 2027. This also applies to the warehouse management applications SAP ERP 6.0 with SAP WM and SAP SCM 7.0.
- Migration of SAP WM: The SAP WM solution integrated in SAP ERP is replaced by SAP Stock Room Management. Companies with SAP WM are now facing some groundbreaking decisions. Which warehouse management solution should be used in the future? Is the scope of the designated SAP WM successor SAP Stock Room Management sufficient? Or does SAP EWM make more strategic sense?
- Migration from SAP EWM SCM: SAP EWM based on SAP SCM is to be replaced by SAP EWM S/4HANA by 2025! An approach therefore needs to be developed to ensure that the transformation can succeed efficiently.
AUTOMATION
Automated warehouse processes
with SAP EWM
There are numerous automation solutions such as AutoStore, warehouse lifts, storage and retrieval machines or automated guided vehicles (AGVs).
However, the full potential of such a solution is only realised with integration into SAP EWM. Our SAP logistics experts at our stand will tell you what to look out for when selecting an automated system and integrating it into SAP EWM.
OPERATIONAL EXCELLENCE
Operational excellence in the warehouse with the new SAP EWM add-on LP EasyWarehouseManager
In order to optimise the outbound processes in a warehouse, it is important to be able to plan the picking of open deliveries as efficiently as possible. This is where an application that provides a real-time overview of all deliveries and their current status can help. In addition, the warehouse control center should have all the necessary features to plan and control activities.
As the warehouse management monitor in the SAP standard has many disadvantages, we have developed a new add-on that is easy to integrate into SAP EWM: the LP EasyWarehouseManager. Find out at our stand how you can use our new add-on to plan and control your warehouse tasks much more flexibly than in the SAP standard and thus increase picking efficiency. And how easy the integration is.
