"Effortless Stock Management with SAP EWM"
5/5
What do you like best about SAP Extended Warehouse Management?

I find SAP Extended Warehouse Management extremely easy to use with a very intuitive navigation system. It's made everything so much easier, especially simplifying the ordering of stock. I appreciate how detailed the movement and HU background are, which keeps traceability intact, solving a big issue we had before. The ability to reverse or edit transactions when a mistake is made is invaluable for managing ingredients and raw materials accurately. Transitioning to SAP was very smooth for our company, and users found it easy to learn and switch over. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about SAP Extended Warehouse Management?

I'd just have to say some transactions can take a while to load up such as checking a location for stock can sometimes take 4/5 minutes to load, other than that I don't have any improvements Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Real-Time Inventory Gains, Challenging Setup"
3.5/5
What do you like best about SAP Extended Warehouse Management?

I like the real-time stock visibility that SAP Extended Warehouse Management provides, allowing me to see exact quantities at every storage bin level and having them updated instantly as goods move through the warehouse. The solid integration with the rest of the SAP ecosystem is another aspect I appreciate, especially the seamless connection with procurement and sales, where a purchase order flows directly into the module for receiving without the need for retyping data. The inbound workflows are also excellent, with a structured step-by-step process from goods receipt to putaway, which suggests optimal storage locations based on predefined rules, so operators don't have to guess where to place stock.

What do you dislike about SAP Extended Warehouse Management?

The learning curve is steep. Configuration is complex and usually requires consultant support. The UI is inconsistent, some use modern Fiori apps, others still look dated. Troubleshooting is also harder than it should be, error messages are often unclear. The initial setup was not easy at all and required significant planning and consultant involvement from the start.

What do you dislike about SAP Extended Warehouse Management?

While SAP Extended Warehouse Management is a powerful and feature-rich solution, there are a few areas that could be improved. The initial implementation and configuration can be quite complex and usually require experienced consultants, which can increase project time and cost. The user interface could also be more intuitive for new users. Some screens feel outdated and navigating through certain functions may take time for employees who are not very familiar with the SAP environment. Additional simplification and modern UI improvements would help improve user adoption. Another area for improvement is the learning curve. Because the system offers many advanced features, proper training is often required for warehouse staff to fully utilize its capabilities. Improving documentation and providing more user-friendly guidance would make onboarding easier. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about SAP Extended Warehouse Management?

I find SAP Extended Warehouse Management (EWM) to be a game-changer for warehouse operations. It effectively helps in streamlining warehouse processes like receiving, storing, and shipping goods. The system is great for managing inventory, optimizing storage space, and automating tasks, which reduces manual errors and increases efficiency. I appreciate the wave management functionality because it optimizes the picking and packing processes, making them extremely efficient, and this boosts productivity while reducing labor costs.

Additionally, integrating it with barcode scanning and RFID tools has significantly improved accuracy and speed in our operations. Transition from our previous system was smooth, thanks to SAP's migration tools, making it a big upgrade in terms of flexibility and scalability. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about SAP Extended Warehouse Management?

It requires a good understanding of SAP's data structures and warehouse processes. Plus, some users might find the UI a bit clunky, especially if they're not super familiar with SAP systems. Also, while EWM is super powerful, some advanced features need careful tuning to get the most out of them. For example, getting the most accurate slotting and storage recommendations requires feeding in good data. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

While SAP EWM is a powerful tool, a few things can be tricky: - Complexity: The initial setup and configuration can be overwhelming, especially for new users. More intuitive guidance or simplified templates would help. - Customization limitations: Sometimes, we hit a wall with customization – certain processes require complex coding or workarounds, which can be time-consuming. - Integration challenges: While it integrates well with other SAP products, connecting with non-SAP systems can be a bit of a pain.
