deliveries. Yard Management Yard Management is an integrated part of EWM. Transportation units and vehicles are created to trace the presence of trucks on the yard. EWM integrates Yard Management in the warehouse operations and uses warehouse tasks to move transportation units from a checkpoint to a parking space (mapped as a storage bin) or to a warehouse door, before starting the unloading process. A feature, which does not (yet) exist in EWM is the door and lane scheduling. Door and lane assignment exists in ERP Yard Management. Bonded warehouse A Bonded warehouse is used to store products that are not yet imported in the EU (i.e. no import taxes and or VAT are paid). This requires an authorization to keep stock bonded (i.e. under customs control). EWM uses Stock Types to distinguish the bonded stock as a separate stock category. ERP has the Stock Categories available, in quality inspection, blocked and return stock. EWM uses the term Stock Types to make the same distinction. In addition new stock types can be defined by the user. SAP Global Trade System (GTS) can use these stock types to make the link with the Bonded Warehouse. weight Probably your products have different weights. However, you may also have weight variations within one product. Catch weight enables you to capture the weight while executing a warehouse tasks, and put that on the quant. In ERP WM this functionality does not exist. RF Transactions Basically, the RF is routed via ITS Mobile (same as in ERP WM). But EWM comes with much more RF transactions and it’s easier to change their screens (out of the box, there may be too much information). In addition, there is a standard transaction for voice picking. Some of the features in the RF area which only exist in EWM: Semi system guided. This means that the worker is sent to a source bin (e.g. the incoming staging area) where he can take any handling unit. After scanning the handling unit chosen (the easiest reachable one) the system shows where to bring it. User decides bin. This means that the warehouse task is created without a destination bin (only storage type and eventually storage section), and the user decides himself on the bin.
