For the sorting, you use information from the storage bin, such as, the aisle, the stack, or the level as sort criteria. To optimize the picking or putaway process, storage bins are logically grouped. In extended warehouse management (ewm), structure isn’t just about storage bins — it’s about precision!
Sap ewm understands and relates the same that a is for aisle, s is for stack and l is. For aisle, stack, level and subdivision you can decide whether you want to sort ascending or descending as well as whether you want to alternate or not. The activity areas provide logical subdivisions in the warehouse.
In the normal inventory management process in the materials management module, quantities and stocks are managed to the storage location level. Logical section of the warehouse that groups storage bins based on defined warehouse activities. In the first figure of this blog, we used the letters a for aisle, s for stack and l for level. In sap ewm, the combination of aisle, level, and stack provides a precise address or coordinate system for identifying the location of goods within the warehouse.
You can define the bin structure for mass. Since a storage bin denotes a specific physical location in a warehouse, it can be identified by coordinates such as aisle, stack, and level.
