SAP MMWM
The SAP ERP system’s SAP Materials Management (MM) and SAP Warehouse Management (WM) modules are combined to form SAP MMWM.
The SAP Materials Management (MM) module manages an organization’s purchasing and inventory control procedures. It includes many activities, including buying, material appraisal, products receiving, inventory management, and invoice verification. The MM module aids organisations in managing their material resources, streamlining procurement procedures, and streamlining supply chain operations.
Another module that focuses on controlling the actual transportation and storage of items inside a warehouse is SAP Warehouse Management (WM). It offers features for stock transfers, physical inventory management, warehouse organisation, commodities receipt and issue, and inventory optimisation. Businesses may track inventory movements, assure precise stock levels, and manage warehouse operations more effectively with the use of the WM module.
Organisations can have an integrated solution for controlling their full supply chain activities by merging these two modules with SAP MMWM. It offers seamless coordination between inventory management, warehouse operations, and procurement processes. This connection boosts visibility throughout the entire supply chain, increases efficiency, and lowers costs.
Integration: The smooth flow of information and procedures is guaranteed by the integration of the SAP MM and SAP WM modules. For instance, the system immediately initiates the relevant goods receipt and putaway processes in WM when a purchase order is created in MM. With this integration, manual data entry is reduced and data accuracy is increased.
Material Master Data: SAP MMWM depends on this database, which has comprehensive details on all the materials utilised by the company. This data consists of descriptions of the materials, information about the purchase process, storage facilities, inventory levels, and other pertinent details. The MM and WM modules share the Material Master data to guarantee correctness and consistency across the whole supply chain.
Inventory Control: The SAP MMWM offers complete inventory control capabilities. Businesses can use it to handle batch and serial numbers, move merchandise between storage facilities, track stock levels, and do physical inventory counts. Additionally, the system supports a number of inventory valuation techniques, such as FIFO (First In, First Out), moving average pricing, and standard pricing.
Business organisations can establish and manage their warehouse organisation, including storage kinds, storage sections, and storage bins, inside SAP WM. This makes it possible to allocate warehouse space effectively and organise it. The technology also offers solutions for cutting trip times, enhancing warehouse productivity overall, and optimising putaway and pickup tactics.
Movement of Goods: Within a warehouse, SAP MMWM manages the complete lifespan of a good. It oversees goods issue operations when materials are issued to clients or other departments and enables internal stock transfers. It facilitates goods receipt activities when materials are received from vendors. Additionally, the system has features for controlling returns, dealing with stock inconsistencies, and making stock modifications.
