Value Added Services Configuration in SAP EWM
This blog will discuss about the configuration steps in SAP EWM VAS (Value Added Services)
SAP EWM Value-Added Services
Configuring Value Added Services (VAS) in SAP Extended Warehouse Management (EWM) involves several steps. VAS allows you to add value to your products through additional processing, such as assembly, packaging, labeling, and kitting. Below are the key configuration steps:
1. Define VAS Activities
VAS activities are the individual tasks or operations performed as part of the value-added process.
Transaction: /SCWM/VASDEF
Path: SAP Easy Access -> Extended Warehouse Management -> Master Data -> Maintain Value-Added Services -> Define VAS Activities
2. Create VAS Orders
VAS orders represent the work orders for value-added services.
Transaction: /SCWM/VASORDER
Path: SAP Easy Access -> Extended Warehouse Management -> Master Data -> Maintain Value-Added Services -> Create VAS Orders
3. Define Packaging Specifications
Packaging specifications are used to define how products are packed, including the packaging materials and techniques used.
Transaction: /SCWM/PACKSPEC
Path: SAP Easy Access -> Extended Warehouse Management -> Master Data -> Maintain Packaging Specifications -> Create Packaging Specification
4. Define Work Centers
Work centers are the physical locations within the warehouse where VAS activities are performed.
Transaction: /SCWM/WORKCENTER
Path: SAP Easy Access -> Extended Warehouse Management -> Master Data -> Work Center -> Maintain Work Center
5. Define Process-Oriented Storage Control
Process-oriented storage control helps define the sequence of warehouse tasks and activities.
Transaction: /SCWM/POSC
Path: SAP Easy Access -> Extended Warehouse Management -> Master Data -> Storage Control -> Define Process-Oriented Storage Control
6. Configure Warehouse Process Types
Warehouse process types define the processes in the warehouse, including VAS activities.
Transaction: /SCWM/WPT
Path: SAP Easy Access -> Extended Warehouse Management -> Master Data -> Warehouse Process Types -> Maintain Warehouse Process Types
7. Assign VAS Activities to Warehouse Process Types
You need to link VAS activities to the relevant warehouse process types.
Transaction: /SCWM/VASDEF
Path: SAP Easy Access -> Extended Warehouse Management -> Master Data -> Maintain Value-Added Services -> Define VAS Activities (Include assignment to warehouse process types)
8. Configure the Packaging Profile
The packaging profile determines how items are packed during the VAS process.
Transaction: /SCWM/PPROF
Path: SAP Easy Access -> Extended Warehouse Management -> Master Data -> Packaging Profile -> Maintain Packaging Profile
9. Create and Manage VAS Workflows
Define workflows for VAS activities to ensure smooth execution of value-added services.
Transaction: /SCWM/WF
Path: SAP Easy Access -> Extended Warehouse Management -> Master Data -> Workflow -> Create and Manage Workflows
10. Test and Validate Configuration
Finally, test the VAS configuration in a controlled environment to ensure that everything is set up correctly.
Transaction: Perform various tests using transactions such as /SCWM/RFUI for RF transactions and /SCWM/MON for monitoring.
Conclusion
By following these steps, you can effectively configure VAS in SAP EWM to enhance your warehouse operations. If you have specific requirements or scenarios, additional customization may be required.
