(10 digits)

EWM (Warehouse 800000000 – 899999999 (9 None (all numbers outside the

specific) digits)
PL01 internal number ranges allowed)
1000000 – 1999999 (7
digits)

If your customer needs different HU number ranges, Section 3.5 in the pdf document, BasicSettings_EWMinS4_V01.pdf, provides setup guidelines.

3.6 Activating Transaction Data Transfer

SAP S/4HANA transfers the transaction data (inbound deliveries, outbound deliveries, and production material requests) to SAP EWM in SAP
S/4HANA using queued remote function call (qRFC).

You need to allow the split of delivery so that the deliveries are split for EWM and non-EWM warehouse if an order contains items from different
warehouses.

You configure Define delivery split by warehouse under customizing Path:

Logistics Execution → Shipping → Deliveries → Define Split Criteria for Deliveries → Delivery Split by Warehouse Number → Define delivery split per
delivery type

Select the Delivery Split checkbox for all delivery types you use in your EWM warehouse, e.g., EL, LF, LR, etc.
In Delivery Split by Warehouse Number, choose the activity Determine delivery split per warehouse number, and select the checkbox.

For qRFC transaction data transfer, you need to generate the distribution model for the Logistics Execution warehouse:

Customizing Path:

Logistics Execution → SAP EWM Integration → Basic Setup of Connectivity → Generate Distribution Model from SAP S/4HANA to SAP EWM.

Enter data in the following fields:

Warehouse Number:                    W01
Logical System of SAP EWM:    BESEWM300
Distribution Model View:             EWM (not in the help drop down list)
In the Objects screen area, select All.
In the Action screen area, select Create Entries.
Execute.
Select Yes in the following popup window.

Click the green check icon to continue the generation of the distribution model.

Optional Configurations

4.1 Using Reference Number from ERP as document number of the EWM Warehouse Request

ERP document number can be used as EWM warehouse request number (released with 1809).
Customizing: Inbound Deliveries
SCM Extended Warehouse Management -> Extended Warehouse Management -> Goods Receipt Process -> Inbound Delivery -> Define Document
Types for Inbound Delivery Process.

Outbound Deliveries
SCM Extended Warehouse Management -> Extended Warehouse Management -> Goods Issue Process -> Outbound Delivery -> Define Document
Types for Outbound Delivery Process.

Posting Change
SCM Extended Warehouse Management -> Extended Warehouse Management -> Internal Warehouse Processes -> Delivery Processing -> Posting

Changes -> Define Document Types for Posting Change Process.

4.2 Synchronous Goods Movements to ERP instead of qRFC for non-delivery related stock postings

For following tcodes, synchronous stock posting can be activated (released with 1809)
Difference Analyzer (tx. /SCWM/DIFF_ANALYZER)
Posting Changes (tx. /SCWM/POST, EWM Monitor, Change Stock Type report)
Post Unplanned Goods Issue (tx. /SCWM/ADGI)
Stock Data Transfer (tx. /SCWM/ISU)
Customizing:
SCM Extended Warehouse Management -> Extended Warehouse Management -> Interfaces -> ERP Integration-> Goods Movements -> Activate
 Synchronous Goods Movement Posting
