1. Warehouse Management with SAP EWM
Ordering & Inventory Check:
The products for the supermarket are ordered via the online store from Festive Season LTD. SAP EWM is used there - the software makes it possible to check directly in the system whether the required product stock is available for the order.
Pick process:
SAP EWM ensures that the required products are quickly found in the warehouse and efficiently picked.
Packing station
At the packing station, the products are packed into boxes and onto pallets and prepared for road, air or sea transport - here SAP EWM provides support and shows in which quantities and shipping units the products need to be packed.
Shipping zone
The finished pallet with the filled cartons is directed to the shipping zone and from there loaded into the truck.
2. From Transport Planning to Execution: SAP Transport Management (SAP TM)
