With SAP solutions for warehouse management, you can optimize warehouse activities – including inbound and outbound processing, facility management and storage, physical inventory, and planned and opportunistic cross docking. You can take advantage of data collection technologies such as radio frequency identification (RFID) and voice and new workload balancing tools.

SAP solutions for warehouse management support inbound processing and receipt confirmation with RFID technology – so your company can receive and process externally procured goods into warehouses with a single radio frequency scan. You can capture detailed and overview information, including process details of inbound deliveries. Outbound processing can leverage RFID technology to manage distribution and proof-of-delivery activities.

Using SAP solutions for warehouse management, employees can direct inbound goods through cross-docking processes. These processes can help you:

• Minimize duplicate goods movements within warehouses
• Optimize flow of goods inbound to outbound and shorten routes within warehouses
• Optimize internal movements and storage of goods within a warehouse
• Plan and execute physical inventory or cycle counts

To help you maximize the use and productivity of your warehouse workforce, SAP provides labor management functionality to track employee performance against engineered labor standards or other performance metrics. You can measure employee activities by tracking direct and indirect labor and providing an accurate overview of all warehouse employee activities
