Definition & Explanation

A freight forwarder receives goods and must decide: which bin? How to track inventory? When to pick? SAP WM is the classic SAP module for these warehouse tasks. It manages goods receipt with quality checks, optimizes bin utilization, orchestrates picking workflows (by FIFO, LIFO, or zones), logs every movement. The module is transaction-intensive—each warehouse movement is a discrete SAP transaction—and integrates tightly with SAP ERP and S/4HANA. For mid-to-large warehouse networks with complex inbound and outbound flows, SAP WM remains the proven standard.
