Unit 1: Inventory Management
Check stock, receive and issue goods, count inventory, transfer stock, correct or reverse postings, and verify the resulting material documents.
Unit 2: Warehouse Management
Put away received goods, pick, pack, and stage materials, move stock between bins, count warehouse stock, manage handling units, and monitor warehouse work.
- Manage Inbound and Outbound Processes
  Put away received goods, confirm transfer orders, create outbound deliveries, and pick and pack items for delivery.
- Create Storage Bins and Bin Labels
  Use the Bin Creation module to create bins and print the bin labels. When you add a Bin Number in Online mode, the application validates if the Storage Bin exists in SAP. Once the bin is created, you can print the labels.
- Generate and Print Barcode Labels
  Use the Label Printing module to generate and print barcode labels for Outbound Delivery-Handling Unit, Purchase Order/Stock Transport Order, Bin and Return Delivery.
- Kitting and Staging Materials (Kitting)
  Kitting and Staging helps warehouse operators to KIT (collect) the stock items of an order and place order for non stock items. Once all items in the order are kitted and staged using Kitting module, warehouse operators issue them to the maintenance technicians at one go and help complete the work with ease. You can enter and confirm a quantity greater than the required quantity during the kitting process to handle excess material quantities without workflow interruptions.
- Transfer Stock Within Warehouse
  Transfer stock from one bin to another in a warehouse, in Foreground or Background mode.
- Count Warehouse and Handling Unit Stock
  Count stock in handling units and warehouse bins, clear count differences, recount, and run blind counts.
- Manage Goods Movement and Stock Management (Extended Warehouse Management)
  Receive, pack, put away, pick, issue, move, and count stock in Extended Warehouse Management.
  - Record Movement of Goods into Warehouse Using Inbound Delivery
    When you receive goods into the warehouse from a vendor or supplier, you must post a goods receipt using the inbound delivery.
  - Pack/Unpack Items to EWM for Inbound Delivery
    Use the Pack/Unpack sub-module to pack or unpack the items (materials or packing materials) for an inbound delivery. When you receive the packed goods from a vendor, you must repack the goods for putaway purpose, so that each Handling Unit contains a single product.
  - Put Away Received Stocks Using Warehouse Orders
    Once the goods receipt is posted for the inbound delivery, putaway the stock using the warehouse tasks (or warehouse orders) for loose materials or handling units.
  - Generate and Print Barcode Labels for an Inbound Delivery
    Once the goods receipt is posted for an inbound delivery, the warehouse order is created for each inbound delivery. You can then print the warehouse order for the resource using the Warehouse Order sub-module to perform the Product Warehouse task. And when the material is packed, you can print the Handling Unit label using the Labels sub-module.
  - Return Items to the Supplier/Vendor Using Inbound Delivery
    When you receive goods into the warehouse from the vendor, you verify and post the goods receipt. You can return the delivered goods to the vendor for various reasons like quality or damage.
  - Pick Items for Outbound Delivery
    Use the Picking module to confirm the warehouse orders and change the destination bins for outbound deliveries. Select the warehouse orders to be confirmed using the delivery document based on Quantity and Destination Storage Type and Bins.
  - Record Movement of Goods from Warehouse Using Outbound Delivery
    When you issue goods from the warehouse to a customer, you must record the movement of goods using the outbound delivery.
  - Cancel/Reverse Goods Issue Using an Outbound Delivery
    Use the GI Reversal sub-module of the Extended Warehouse Management (EWM) to cancel the items issued for an outbound delivery.
  - Record Handling Units Transfer from One Bin to Another
    You can transfer handling units or goods from one bin to another when there is an internal need for items or when you receive new goods into the warehouse. This feature helps you to accommodate space for the incoming goods by transferring the existing goods to another.
  - Count EWM Items at Regular Intervals (Cycle Counting)
    Use the Cycle Counting sub-module to count the items in Warehouse on a cyclic schedule, to ensure accuracy of the items.
  - Check Warehouse Stock (Stock Overview)
