I really appreciate how the system handles batch management and expiration dates. In a pharmaceutical warehouse, this is critical. Creating new orders is very easy and intuitive, and the same applies to processing credit notes. Tracking stock levels and inventory is accurate, which prevents errors in our daily operations. It is a very stable and reliable system for high-volume warehouse work. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Sometimes you have to go through too many menus and complex processes just to find specific information. The navigation can be slow because some tasks require multiple steps that could be simpler. Also, the interface feels a bit outdated for a modern warehouse. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What I like most is the real-time visibility of stock and movements across the yard. As a dispatcher, I can quickly check where containers are, plan loading and unloading tasks, and coordinate rail operations without chasing information by phone. Warehouse tasks and confirmations are well structured, which reduces mistakes and makes handovers between shifts much smoother. Integration with other SAP modules also means data stays consistent.

The interface feels dated and not very intuitive, so new users need a lot of training before they feel confident. Some processes require many clicks and transaction codes for simple actions, which slows things down during busy shifts. Customization and changes usually need IT or external consultants, and the system can occasionally be slow when handling large volumes of data. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like that everything has a special code and that I can always use it. I also like that I can create my own layout and set my own colors, etc. Compared to other systems, I think SAP is better. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

don’t like that SAP can sometimes feel too complicated and not very intuitive. I don’t like that many transactions require several steps and it takes time to learn them. I don’t like that the system can be slow when working with large amounts of data. I don’t like that customizing certain functions often requires technical support instead of doing it myself. I can compare it to other systems that are easier to use and faster to learn. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like SAP's real-time inventory tracking, efficient warehouse task management, and picking and replenishment features. Its integration improves visibility, reduces manual errors, and streamlines warehouse operations, helping increase productivity and order accuracy. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

SAP can be complex to configure and maintain, especially for advanced warehouse processes. Implementation and integration can be time-consuming, and troubleshooting errors often requires specialised technical knowledge. User training is also important to ensure smooth adoption.

What I like best about SAP EWM is that it gives real-time visibility of all warehouse activities. It helps track every material movement accurately and reduces errors. The system also supports advanced features like picking, replenishment, and slotting, which makes daily operations faster and more efficient. Its smooth integration with other SAP modules further improves coordination and overall productivity. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The main thing I dislike about SAP EWM is that it is complex and not very user-friendly for new users. It takes time to understand the screens and processes. Sometimes even small changes or issues require technical support, which can slow down daily work. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I love how SAP Extended Warehouse Management helps define the location of materials and storage, which shortens lead time. This system immediately defines all the input data, making locating parts much easier than doing it manually. I also like using the specific t-code, MMBE, which helps define the correct part number and quantity in the system. It really simplifies and eases my daily tasks, especially when I need to track or identify urgent parts quickly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Sometimes, if we input data wrongly into SAP, the system has difficulty providing the correct data. It can be a challenge because the system will track the wrong input. Also, SAP Extended Warehouse Management lacks offline mode. This makes it difficult to access the system when we're outside or not connected to the internet.

Most helpful is the extensive, seamless integration with other SAP modules, broad support of warehouse automation, RF devices, stock visibility over stock and overall scalability. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Implementation and UI configuration complexity, high licensing cost, difficult onboarding process, steep learning curve. Troubleshooting is sometimes difficult and user support very general Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What I like most is the granular visibility and control it gives us over virtually every movement in the facility. In an environment like a power plant—where misplacing even a single specialized bolt can stall a multi-million-euro project—Handling Unit (HU) management and serial number tracking are a lifesaver. I don’t have to guess where a part is; the system provides a highly accurate “digital twin” of the physical warehouse.

The standout feature for me is Process-Oriented Storage Control (POSC). It lets us build complex, automated workflows that guide a worker through each step—receiving, quality checks, deconsolidation, and final putaway—without relying on manual paperwork. That removes a lot of uncertainty from the job and helps ensure that, even under the intense pressure of a plant outage, the process is followed exactly as designed. This balance of strict compliance and fast execution is what makes it so valuable to our operation. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What I dislike most is the extreme complexity and the rigid nature of the configuration. While the system is incredibly powerful, it’s also very unforgiving.

My main pain points are the steep learning curve and the ongoing admin overhead. You can’t just “tweak” a setting; even a minor change to a warehouse process requires a deep understanding of the underlying architecture. As a result, we’re heavily dependent on specialized consultants, and internal training for new users takes much longer than it should.

Another issue is that it often feels over-engineered for simple tasks. At times, EWM seems designed for a massive distribution center when we just need to move a part from point A to point B. The number of steps and clicks required to complete a simple, unplanned movement can be frustrating for the guys on the floor.

It’s also highly sensitive to master data. If a material’s dimensions, weight, or packaging units aren’t defined perfectly, the system will frequently throw an error and block the entire process. In a busy industrial environment where data isn’t always perfect, this “perfectionist” behavior can create unnecessary bottlenecks.

The UI still feels clunky and a bit legacy. Although Fiori is improving things, I still find myself constantly jumping back into the old SAP GUI for deeper configuration or troubleshooting. That lack of a unified, modern user experience makes the software feel dated and less intuitive than it could be.

Finally, implementation time and cost are a major drawback. It’s a massive “beast” to implement: mapping every process, testing the logic, and cleaning up the data takes a significant amount of time and effort. All of that makes it one of the more expensive modules to keep running. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I find that the best feature of SAP Extended Warehouse Management is the real-time visibility it provides into warehouse operations. It's interesting how every movement, whether inbound, outbound, or internal, is tracked and reflected. I like how it brings structure and efficiency to complex warehouse processes, making everything system-driven rather than relying on manual testing. This reduces errors and improves accuracy. It also gives a complete real-time visibility into warehouse operations, which makes it much easier to understand what's happening on the ground without physically being there. I appreciate the end-to-end flow perspective it provides. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I have a little issue with the cost; I think it could be reduced. Also, before we had everything set up, it took quite some time, and the learning curve is a bit steep. It could be smoother for new hires to get up to speed quickly. In high-volume warehouses, some transactions or reports can become slightly slow, so improving the system speed and responsiveness would be helpful. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I find SAP Extended Warehouse Management really valuable for maintaining complex warehouse management operations more efficiently than traditional inventory systems. It offers real-time inventory updates, which means I'm not waiting for reports—everything happens live. As soon as a worker scans a product, the inventory updates instantly. I appreciate how it doesn't just store data but actually provides real-time control of the whole warehouse and integrates with automation. The improvements in data quality, productivity, and warehouse management knowledge are significant since switching to this system. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It's expensive to implement and the process design needs fixing. Our customization makes it heavy and hard to maintain. The initial setup was hard to find your way of process, but we made it happen in a few months. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
