I have been working with SAP WM – Warehouse Management nearly 30 years now. I began with R/2 AS400 main-frame system, sounds like the stone age.
Since 2008, I’m working with SAP EWM – Extended Warehouse Management. I was the first student of SAP EWM Training class in Houston, TX. Glen Gordon was our instructor and we were trained on SCM EWM 5.0… shortly after 5.1 then 7.0, 7.1, 7.2, 9.0, 9.1, 9.2, 9.3, 9.4, 9.5, 9.6 are released, now we have Embedded EWM on S/4HANA with Embedded EWM version as well.
Now, I’m implementing S/4HANA 2021 FSP02 EWM Decentralized solution with Department of National Defense including EWM-Explosives Management.
Working 32 years strictly with SAP WM & EWM made me gain unbelievable experience in the Supply Chain Management and particularly in Warehouse Management solutions. In the last 32 years, I worked in varies industries such as; Pharmaceuticals, Medical Devices, Health Care, Food, Consumers Packaged Goods, Aerospace, Defense & Military, Airlines, Ceramics & Tiles, Cement, Central Banking, Public Sector, Utilities, Automotive & Parts, Wholesale Distribution Centers, Apparel & Fashion industries .
I thought I should create an online tool to share my knowledge with others, young consultants and also exchange knowledge between the seasoned SAP’s Supply Chain professionals.
I hope you find this platform and my knowledge transfer helpful. But please keep in mind that these are only my experience and my resolutions for the problems that I had in the past. It may not exactly work for you as it is described here.
Because of this, you always have to contact to SAP directly before you cause more issues in your system.
