of an implementation. However, this example can be easily adjusted to fit the

warehouse of SAP customer.

Using Lean WM

When you implement Lean WM, inventory management takes place solely at

storage location level. The system does not update the stock data at storage bin

level using the quants like the Warehouse-Management-System (WMS) .

You use Lean WM solely for processing goods receipts and goods issues.

Using Lean WM, you process the warehouse movements in basically the same

way as if using the Warehouse Management System: you work with deliveries,

and you create transfer orders for these deliveries. These transfer orders serve

as pick lists.

The use of transfer orders in Lean WM provides the following advantages:

You can reprint transfer orders at any time.

You can split transfer orders and thus distribute the workload better among

the staff in your warehouse.

You can use mass processing functions based on the transfer order (for

example wave picks).



Mass Processing of Deliveries

Manual creation in the outbound delivery monitorusing selection by:

Shipping point

Picking date

Route, carrier ...

Free selection

Automatic generation using selection by: Picking date / time

Additional filter by several criteria

(e.g. route, shipping point, ship-to-party ...)

Considering capacity restrictions: Weight, volume

Maximum items on the picking list

Working time
