In SAP Extended Warehouse Management (EWM), Just-in-time (JIT) calls and tour processing can be integrated to manage the flow of goods within a warehouse. JIT calls are used to manage the delivery of goods to a production line in a just-in-time manner, meaning that the goods are delivered exactly when they are needed on the production line. Tour processing is used to manage the movement of goods and materials within a warehouse, including the scheduling of pick-up and delivery of goods and the management of warehouse resources such as labor and equipment.
When JIT calls and tour processing are integrated, the EWM system will create a delivery schedule based on the production plan, and send delivery requests to the suppliers or vendors. The system will also create tours based on the warehouse layout, resources available, and priority of the tasks. The system will then track the delivery status of the JIT calls and the progress of the tours, to ensure that the materials are delivered on time and the warehouse operations are running efficiently.
By integrating JIT calls and tour processing, businesses can achieve a more efficient and accurate flow of goods within the warehouse. By ensuring that goods are delivered exactly when they are needed on the production line, and that the movement of goods within the warehouse is optimized, inventory costs can be reduced and the efficiency of warehouse operations can be improved.
EWM provides the capability to create tours manually or automatically. The system will optimize the tour based on the warehouse layout, the resources available, and the priority of the tasks. This helps to reduce the amount of time and resources required to move goods from one location to another, which can help to improve the efficiency of warehouse operations and reduce inventory costs. The tour processing flow typically involves the following steps:
As a result, the EWM system provides real-time visibility of the delivery and tour status, allowing warehouse managers to make informed decisions and take corrective actions if necessary.
It's important to note that in order to integrate JIT calls and tour processing in EWM, it is important to have a good understanding of the system and to work with experienced consultants who can configure the system according to the specific requirements of the warehouse.
