1. OVERVIEW
Context
This workbook includes the standard SAP reports available in
the Warehouse Management (MM-WM) module. At this stage, it
is anticipated that the standard reports will meet BUSINESSs
requirements. Note that, these reports will only be available to
PLANT sites implementing the WM functionality.
Background
The SAP WM module provides standard reports for use. Most of
these are accessed via the WM application menu paths, under
> Evaluations > . .
What is covered
The following reporting features in SAP WM module is included:
1.Standard evaluation reports provided within the WM
application
2.Warehouse Info System (sub-set of LIS)
3.Stock Comparison between WM and IM
What is not covered
Reports in Warehouse Management which functionality is
not being used by BUSINESS, for example:
Storage Unit Management reports
Decentralised systems reports

When using WM, each warehouse is set up individually. All


plants to implement WM should have appropriate training to
use the system effectively. Plant employees will need to be
familiar with SAP terminology.

Storage Bin Reporting

About Storage Bin Reporting


Storage bins are the smallest addressable unit in the
warehouse. It identifies the exact location in the warehouse
where goods are stored or can be stored. Each storage bin is
created for a storage type and belong to a specific storage
section. It contains details like, storage bin type, the capacity (if
used) and other parameters.
The following storage bin reports are available in SAP:
1.List of Empty Bins
2.Bin Status Report
3.Capacity Used Report
4.Fixed Bin Information Report (if fixed bins used)
3.1.1 List of Empty Bins
Why?
To obtain a list of empty storage bins in the warehouse.
Before you start
You may display empty bins for the entire warehouse or
for a range of storage types within the warehouse.
You may want to determine which warehouse or storage
types you want to display empty bins for.

Materials Reporting

About Materials Reporting


Items are identified in the system using a material master
record. A material number is assigned and this will be used
consistently throughout the system to represent the item. The
existence of a quantity of a material of a particular batch in a
particular storage bin in the warehouse is known as a quant.
The following standard materials reports are available in SAP:
1.Stock per Material report
2.Stock Overview report
3.WM Stock List
4.Evaluation of Material Movement Frequency
5.Expiration Date Information List

3.2.1 Stock per Material Report

Hazardous Material Reporting

About Hazardous Material Reporting


In the SAP system, a separate hazardous material master
record can be created in the WM system to represent hazardous
material types that are deemed hazardous.
The hazardous material master is then linked to the material
master record by specifying the hazardous material number on
the Storage or Warehouse View.
When a material master record is linked to a hazardous
material record and the hazardous material storage checks
have been activated, characteristics defined in the hazardous
material record are then taken into consideration for storage
type and storage section search. Several material masters can
be linked to the same hazardous material (with same properties
and characteristics).
The hazardous material functionality is used purely to facilitate
the storage type and storage section search. Note: Dangerous
goods may not be the same as a hazardous material. The
hazardous material master does not sufficiently cater for
dangerous goods (DG) information. Therefore, DG information
will be tracked using the Classification functionality for
material.
Where the hazardous material master is set up in WM, the
following standard reports are available:
1.Fire Department Inventory List
2.Analysis: Correct Storage of Hazardous Materials
3.Warehouse Index according to Accident Regulations

3.3.1 Fire Department Inventory List

WM Documents Reporting

About WM Documents Reporting


The following documents are relevant in the WM system in SAP:
transfer requirements
transfer orders
posting change notices
Transfer requirements are goods movement requests that are
mainly automatically created by transactions in other SAP
modules.
For example, when a goods receipt document is posted in
Inventory Management, a corresponding transfer requirement
detailing the material, quantity and movement parameters is
created.
Similarly, when a delivery in Sales and Distribution (SD) is
created, a corresponding transfer requirement is created
automatically for picking. All this will happen provided the
plant and storage location is activated for WM processing.
A posting change notice on the hand; is used to show a change
in information about the stock itself. A posting change generally
refers to a book-keeping change (for example, the change in
stock category or special stock information).
Usually, the goods itself remain in the same physical location.
Posting changes are also raised automatically in the
background triggered by a transaction, primarily in Inventory
Management.
Both transfer requirements and posting changes are then
converted to a transfer order, which is a document used to

support every movement in the warehouse. It contains all the


important movement data, such as the material, quantity,
storage bins involved, etc.
In some cases, transfer orders can be set to be generated
automatically from posting changes and transfer requirements.
The following standard SAP WM document reports are
available:
1.Transfer requirement overview
2.Evaluation of movement per storage type
3.Transfer order document overview
4.Transfer order detailed overview
5.Transfer order with differences
6.Evaluation of material movement frequency

Stock Comparison (WM vs. IM)

About Stock Comparison between WM and IM


For each Inventory Management document posted for a plant
and storage location with WM active, a corresponding goods
movement should be triggered in WM.
Sometimes, the stock in IM may not correspond to the WM
stock. This may happen if the link is broken, eg. Someone
intentionally deletes a transfer requirement before the transfer
order is generated.
The stock comparison function compares stock in the
Warehouse Management system with stock in the Inventory
Management system and searches for differences. To clear
differences, you can create a batch input file.
3.6.1 Stock Comparison IM/WM
Why?
To compare if there are any discrepancies between IM and
WM and to take action to resolve.
Before you start
Consider whether batch input file should be created.

Standard Analyses (Warehouse Info System)

About Standard Analyses


The Warehouse Management system is integrated with the SAP
Logistics Information System (LIS) to support the analysis of
the physical flow of quantities in the warehouse. The
evaluations for Warehouse Controlling are integrated with the
Inventory Controlling menu as standard analyses.
The data on which all five standard analyses for Warehouse
Controlling are based form data that are updated to the
information structures S090 and S091.
The following five standard analyses for Warehouse
Management exist in Inventory Controlling:

Stock placement/removal
Quantity flow
