Production Integration
SAP Extended Warehouse Management (SAP EWM) offers robust options for integrating production processes and ensuring a seamless flow of materials between production and the warehouse.
The key areas of production integration in SAP S/4 HANA EWM
1. Production Supply Area (PSA) Integration
PSA Integration focuses on defining dedicated areas for efficiently supplying production lines.
2. Replenishment for Production
Replenishment for Production ensures that required materials are always available by triggering stock movements based on predefined thresholds.
3. Staging for Production Orders or Process Orders
Staging for Production Orders involves the precise preparation and movement of materials to the production area based on specific order requirements.
These types of integration help optimize production workflows, enhance material availability, and ensure real-time communication between the warehouse and manufacturing operations. EWM facilitates the efficient and systematic management of storage and material staging processes for production through various advanced methodologies.
Types of Production Integration
1. Delivery-Based Production Supply
2. Advanced Production Integration
3. MES-Driven
4. JIT Supply to Production
Just-in-Time (JIT) Call in SAP S/4HANA is a method used in production supply to ensure that materials arrive precisely when needed, reducing inventory costs and improving efficiency
JIT supply to production is available in Extended Warehouse Management (EWM) embedded in SAP S/4HANA only. This feature isn’t available in decentralized EWM based on SAP S/4HANA.
