Which document is skipped when SAP EWM is embedded in SAP S/4HANA?

When SAP Extended Warehouse Management (EWM) is embedded in SAP S/4HANA, the document that is skipped is the warehouse order. In this scenario, the integration allows for a more seamless processing flow by eliminating the need for an additional document that traditionally manages the assignments of tasks to resources within the warehouse.

In typical standalone EWM implementations, warehouse orders are used to group warehouse tasks for execution. However, when EWM is embedded within SAP S/4HANA, the system leverages direct integration to manage tasks and resources more efficiently. This integration enables the system to generate warehouse tasks directly from the outbound delivery order, effectively bypassing the need for a separate warehouse order document.

This streamlined process enhances efficiency, reduces paperwork, and minimizes the possibility of discrepancies since it allows for more real-time inventory and order management within a single functional environment. The other documents involved, like outbound delivery requests and outbound delivery orders, continue to play essential roles in the overall logistics and fulfillment processes in SAP S/4HANA.
