SAP IM (Inventory Management) and SAP WM (Warehouse Management) are two different

modules of SAP that are used for managing inventory and warehouse operations
respectively.

SAP IM focuses on the management of stock movements and inventory levels within a
company. It provides functionalities to manage stock movements, goods receipt, and
issues, transfer postings, inventory valuation, physical inventory, and stock
replenishment.

On the other hand, SAP WM is used for the management of warehouse operations such
as storage bin management, picking, packing, and shipping of goods, as well as
goods receipt and issues. It provides functionalities to manage and optimize
warehouse processes, including putaway and picking strategies, slotting, inventory
management, and cross-docking.

In summary, SAP IM focuses on the management of inventory levels and movements

within a company, while SAP WM is responsible for the optimization of warehouse
operations. However, it is important to note that the two modules are closely
related and often integrated to ensure smooth operations within a company.
