Preparation Phase SAP EWM Implementation

1) The document outlines the steps for requirement gathering during the Project Preparation phase of an SAP EWM implementation. This includes high-level evaluation of the organization, warehouse layout, questionnaires, process mapping, material listings, and collecting warehouse photos/videos. 2) Key activities are drafting level 1-2 processes, identifying cross-system integrations, capturing configuration requirements, and creating a Business Process Master List (BPML) of end-to-end processes to guide the implementation. 3) Workshops are then held with stakeholders to review and finalize the BPML scope before moving to the Business Blueprint phase.

Preparation Phase SAP EWM

Implementation
Updated: Apr 9, 2023
SAP EWM Implementation Project Requirement Gathering

SAP EWM Implementation Steps


There are 6 steps of SAP implementation

1. Project Preparation
2. Business Blue Print
3. Realization
4. Final Preparation
5. Go live
6. Support
Phase Project Preparation

In SAP Warehouse Management System Implementation start with phase 1 with Project
Preparation which start with requirement gathering.

Steps for Requirements Gathering

1) High level Evaluation


2) Warehouse layout
3) Questionnaire to business
4) Level 1/2 process and cross stream integration
5) Material list
6) Level 3/4/5 processes- final Business Process Master list
7) Warehouse Pictures/ Videos- tag every Pictures/ video with specific L4/L5

1. High Level Evaluation


There is lot of parameters which decides the solution to be choose.

Organizational Structure
 Company
 Plant
 Storage Locations
Warehouse layout
o Shop Floor Area
o Raw Material Area
o Semi-Finished Goods Area
o Finished Goods Area
o Doors incoming or outgoing

 High level pictures and videos asked from business stake holders to understand over
all layout
 High level layout can be plotted to have further discussion about processes and
material movements
Sample Warehouse Plan Layout

Questionnaire to Business about Business Processes

? to be asked
 Inbound process for example; from supplier, from production, subcontractor,
intra/intercompany transfers
 Production staging process- which types of materials are staged and how?
 Internal movements- bin to bin transfer, replenishments.
 Outbound movements- to customer, intra/intercompany transfers
 Returns processes- Vendor/Customer returns
 Warehouse label/form requirements
Output will be
High level understanding of overall processes, help in preparation of Business Process Master
list (BPML)

Draft Process level 1&2


 High level processes can be draft
 Inbound process
 Outbound process
 Internal movements
 Internal replenishment
 Production staging
 Vendor Return Process
 Customer Return Process
Output: High level business processes & preparation of BPML processes.

This will cover cross value stream integration with


 Procure to Pay (P2P)
 Demand to Supply (D2S)
 Order to Cash (O2C)
Material Movements

 Intra company/ intercompany transfer


Also from questionnaire determine these flows to get idea about stock transfers between
business affiliates.
 Cross stream integration
From other stream for example upstream like P2P, D2S, O2C collect information to
determine E2E flows.
 Internal movements
First steps towards defining
o Storage types
o Storage sections

Material movements need to capture in matrix so that overall idea of warehouse movements
will be well understood. This will help to determine different warehouse process types
(WPTs).
 Configuration Master Data
1) Configuration and EWM master data objects are to be captured in Business Process Master
List (BPML). For the scoping purpose.
2) Detailed configuration template documents and data conversion documents need to be
prepared separately.

Output:
Rough preparation for BPML for next level for processes
Process level- 3/4/5

With this information Business solution architect & stream leads will able to figure out the
L3/4/5 processes and process variants, this is illustrated for one of the stream. This will create
clear final Business Process Master list (BPML)

What is Business Process Master List?

Business Process Master List (BPML) is a standard chart that helps define an entire project to
guide implementation. It defines business scenarios, business processes and transactions in
the form of excel chart.
Sample BPML- example Inbound from Supplier (maintain in excel sheet)
Warehouse pictures and Videos

Collect the pictures and videos if possible.

Workshop with business

Present final BPML and scope understood the business stakeholders. In order to start the
Business Blue Print (BBP) need to conduct workshop with business stakeholders.
Parallel activity it is optional can be collected from business legacy system for analysis
purpose.
Data from Legacy System

1) Plant list
2) Storage location list
3) Stock report
4) Inter/intra plant movements
5) Purchase order list
6) Sales and customer order list
7) Production order list
8) Plant and internal movements
9) Outbound deliveries to customer
10) Inbound deliveries from suppliers
11) Production RM consumption

Data will give fare picture of business scenarios if anything missed during requirement
gathering.
