Master Data Integration

Master data objects, such as customers and vendors, are created as business partners in SAP S/4HANA and can be
reused in embedded EWM.

Material masters created in SAP S/4HANA can be used in embedded EWM directly after extending the product master in
embedded EWM by providing the embedded EWM warehouse number and the party entitled to dispose.

Embedded EWM uses business partner, material, and batch master data directly, as well as batch classification data
created in SAP S/4HANA.

Storage Type
A storage type is a distinct physical area in the warehouse. A warehouse is distributed into storage types based on the
nature of the storage, type of storage, spatial layout, and so on. A warehouse can have many different storage types,
which can be used for different purposes: stocking products, providing work centers for packaging, serving as staging
areas for loading.

Storage Sections
A storage type is divided into storage sections based on bins with the same attributes. These attributes vary based on
the products that need to be put away into the storage section. You can create sections in a storage type for attributes
such as temperature, load-bearing capacity.

Storage Bins
A storage type is a collection of multiple storage spaces called storage bins, the smallest spatial units used to store a
product in the warehouse. There are multiple storage types in embedded EWM representing various entities, such as
work centres, doors, yards, and so on, but each one must be linked to a storage bin in the warehouse.

or sent outside the warehouse. Warehouse doors are areas in the warehouse through which goods come into and out of
the warehouse.
