Q&A

• What is Advanced Production Integration in SAP EWM?
  It integrates production planning with warehouse management to optimize staging, consumption, and goods receipt processes.
• What is the difference between Cross-Order and Single-Order Staging?
  Cross-Order Staging allows shared resources across multiple production orders, while Single-Order Staging dedicates resources to a single production order.
• What role do Production Supply Areas (PSAs) play?
  PSAs are defined zones near manufacturing lines where raw materials and components are staged for production.
• What technologies enhance advanced production integration?
  Automated Guided Vehicles (AGVs), Programmable Logic Controllers (PLCs), and automated storage systems like SRS improve efficiency and accuracy.
• What is the importance of distribution models in SAP EWM?
  Distribution models facilitate communication between SAP ERP and EWM for tasks like staging, consumption, and goods receipt updates.
• How does staging differ in embedded vs. decentralized SAP setups?
  Embedded setups integrate all functions in one system, while decentralized setups separate ERP and EWM systems, offering resilience and scalability.
