Motivation:
• Improve integration between ERP and EWM :
• Synchronous updates of stock in MM-IM and embedded EWM in S/4HANA
• No hanging queues between ERP components of S/4HANA and embedded EWM in S/4HANA
• Show error messages from EWM to user posting GR in tx. MIGO
• Less documents (no inbound deliveries needed for GR from external procurement)
• Mix GR for MM-IM and EWM storage locations in one posting
• Mix GR into warehouse stock and to consumption (e.g. cost center)
Deployments:
• Embedded EWM in S/4HANA OP 2020 FPS1
• Embedded EWM in S/4HANA CE 2011
• Not supported in decentralized EWM due to system boundaries
Scope:
• Support of GR for purchasing documents to an EWM managed storage location
• Standard purchase orders
• Scheduling agreements
• Purchase orders referencing value- or quantity contracts
• Stock transfer orders
• Subcontracting purchase order incl. GI posting of components
• Display EWM document number in MIGO and MB51 and navigation to EWM goods movement document and warehouse
task (EWM Monitor)
• Support of cancellations of GR documents in tx. MIGO

Requirement #1: trigger compliance check with EWM changes of delivery dates
compliance checks in GTS are date dependent. In the LE-GTS integration date changes in the LE outbound delivery triggers the re-
execution of a compliance check. Compliance checks must also be triggered by EWM Outbound Delivery Orders (ODO) in case of
relevant delivery dates are changed.

• Support customers running
current and new integration in
parallel
Motivation
• Support loading and unloading activities
• Based on one freight order
• Based on one warehouse or loading/unloading point
• Support both EWM-managed and IM-managed Warehouses
• Load/unload for a single warehouse
• Shared loading/unloading point
• Support loading and unloading activities with a single warehouse visit
• Support navigation to different documents
• Freight Order/ Consignment/ Freight Unit/ LE Delivery/ EWM Documents
• Customizable
• If there is no data for one level, nothing is displayed on the UI
Optional: set arrival and departure from door in the inbound / outbound process
Common (Un-)Loading from IM and EWM-managed storage locations Not supported Supported

Requirement #2: Do not make use of change pointer. Due to expected high load of change pointer for batches as well as
for classification, this solution must not rely on activation of change pointer for BATMAS nor for CLFMAS on the sending
ECC system. This also implies that change pointer must not be “consumed” by this solution to not interfere with existing
customer scenarios. Despite the drop of change pointers, the distribution should be based on the standard mechanisms and
tools of the ALE framework, meaning for example all monitoring tools for IDOC messages should also be usable for data
transfers of this solution.
Requirement #3: The solution must not have any impact on the existing ECC runtime. The solution will be provided in
an SAP internal BAdI on ECC side. However, the implementation must not increase the overall runtime on ECC side when
changing or creating a batch significantly. This can be achieved by decoupling the EWM logic.
Requirement #4: The trigger of the distribution of batch changes or creation must be independent of
the used UI. This means for example that the distribution should be trigger in any case a change on the
DB happen like from transaction MSC2N as well as when creating a batch during creation on an inbound
delivery on ERP side via VL31N as well as changing a batch from a BAPI like
BAPI_BATCH_SAVE_REPLICA.
