SAP EWM multiple MM storage locations

[LuizHuelsmann]

Hi

I´m working with S/4HANA 2022 and we have a doubt to create a single warehouse for multiple MM storage locations or create a warehouse for each MM storage location.

PS.: the MM storage locations are in the same plant.

Best Regards

Can you elaborate your answer? A warehouse number is SAP should model a physical warehouse.

How does multiple warehouses provide better control and visibility???

Hi,

I believe the first thing to consider here: how does your physical warehouse look like? Do you have for the goods you store one physical storage building? Means the all the materials are stored physically next to each other? Then the way to go would definitely be one warehouse number, does not really matter how many storage locations you have.

Do you store the materials for each storage location in separate physical entities? And with physical entities I do not only mean having separate racks, but really separate buildings, so you not sharing the same packaging work centers, unloading / loading areas, doors, etc - then you can have separate warehouse numbers.

Both solutions have other things to consider afterwards - but the physical setting should always be the first point in your decision.

All the above is no official SAP statement.

And it is EWM. NOT eWM - Duh!

And if your question includes the word "transfer order" - do NOT tag the question with Extended Warehouse Management!

Hi Juergen, thank you for your answer.
We have three different physical entities, and each of them has its specific buildings.

So I think could be better to have three warehouse numbers.

Best regards.
