S/4HANA Stock Room Management is available as of release S/4HANA 1909 and is included in the license for S/4HANA Enterprise Management. This is not a new module for warehouse management with new functionalities, but a successor to the old module WM with limited functions. Stock Room Management is primarily aimed at existing SAP customers who want to continue using their classic WM after 2027. Further developments of this module are not expected.
The functional scope of S/4HANA Stock Room Management is limited to the mapping of core logistics functionalities. Manual manual warehouses can thus continue to be mapped in full. This means that transfer orders can still be created for manual goods movements. Processing via mobile scanner dialog is still possible. However, further functions of the classic SAP WM are no longer available. These include:
SAP's Task and Resource Management (TRM) increases the efficiency
of your warehouse processes through:
Via this interface, third-party systems, such as
be connected to the warehouse management.
Cross-docking or cross-coupling refers to a type of handling for goods in logistics that is linked to the functions of
the duplication of unnecessary handling of goods by minimizing cycle times, warehousing and handling costs.
A decentralized WM represents an independent decentralized system that is operated independently of a central ERP system.
S/4HANA Stock Room Management is an option for existing SAP customers with small warehouses and a low level of automation, even after 2027. It is the sensible transitional solution on the way to SAP Extended Warehouse Management. Customer-specific developments can still be used in Stock Room Management, as WM data structures are accessed. SAP EWM remains SAP's strategic and recommended product for your future-oriented warehouse management.
