At LogiMAT 2024, the SAP intralogistics experts from LogiPlus will show how to successfully migrate to EWM S/4HANA

At this year’s LogiMAT in Stuttgart, LogiPlus Consulting will be presenting methods and solutions for mastering these challenges and exploiting the full potential of a migration and transformation to SAP EWM on S/4HANA. This enables companies to better map and optimise more complex warehouse processes. To ensure a smooth migration, the SAP experts from LogiPlus will share best practices and experience from numerous successfully migrated projects.

How to make the migration from SAP EWM SCM a success

The decision to migrate to SAP EWM on S/4HANA is primarily made when companies require modern and highly flexible warehouse planning as well as comprehensive automation options. With SAP EWM, all processes in the warehouse – from goods receipt and putaway to picking and shipping – can be optimally designed and efficiently executed. The management and optimisation of storage bins, goods movements, picking as well as the planning and monitoring of warehouse processes are optimised by the solution. In addition, the solution enables a transparent display of stocks and movements, thus helping to improve decision-making.

SAP EWM on S/4HANA is designed as an advanced warehouse management solution specifically for integration with the SAP S/4HANA system. This solution offers enhanced functionalities, improved performance and seamless integration with other SAP S/4HANA modules. The S/4HANA system itself represents the next generation of SAP’s ERP system, enabling faster processing and real-time insights through an in-memory database. The switch to SAP EWM on S/4HANA therefore promises not only modern warehouse management, but also integration into an advanced ERP environment.

How the migration from SAP WM can succeed

The migration from SAP Warehouse Management (WM) to the possibilities in SAP S/4HANA offers companies various options for optimising their warehouse management. One option is the use of SAP Stock Room Management, a warehouse management system specially developed for S/4HANA. Here, companies benefit from seamless integration and extended functionalities.

Another option is to migrate to SAP Extended Warehouse Management (EWM), which is available as a Basic and Advanced version. With SAP EWM, companies can benefit from modern, highly flexible warehouse planning, comprehensive automation options and a transparent display of stocks and movements.

For companies that do not yet want to fully migrate to SAP EWM, the option is available to use SAP WM in S/4HANA in compatibility mode until 2025. This temporary use allows companies to continue to make their warehouse processes efficient and take advantage of S/4HANA while they prepare for a later migration. Overall, these options offer companies the flexibility to gradually modernise their warehouse management and adapt it to their individual requirements. Depending on their needs, they can choose between the different options and thus implement a customise solution for their warehouse processes.

Highlights of the migration with LogiPlus:

LogiPlus will show how to analyse the existing SAP WM environment to identify potential challenges and develop a customise roadmap for a smooth transition. At this year’s LogiMAT, visitors will learn how the LogiPlus methodology covers all phases of a migration project, from data migration and system integration to user training, to ensure a smooth and efficient migration process. Using practical examples, LogiPlus will show how similar companies have successfully migrated to SAP EWM. LogiPlus will provide valuable insights into the methodology used to overcome the most common challenges such as system downtime, data integrity, change management and user acceptance.

Companies interested in a successful migration can benefit from the expertise of LogiPlus. Let’s shape the future of warehouse management together!
