A use case for yard management in SAP EWM (Extended Warehouse Management) could be as
follows:
1. Inbound delivery of goods: The inbound delivery of goods arrives at the yard, and the SAP
EWM system captures the delivery information, such as delivery date, time, and the type of goods
being delivered.
2. Yard storage assignment: The system automatically assigns a storage location in the yard
based on the type of goods being delivered, the quantity, and the priority of the delivery.
3. Yard entry and exit management: The SAP EWM system tracks the entry and exit of vehicles in
the yard, ensuring that the right vehicles are entering and exiting at the right times.
4. Yard capacity planning: The system continuously monitors the capacity of the yard and alerts
the user when the capacity is reaching its limits. This helps in planning the yard operations and
avoiding congestion.
5. Yard slot management: The SAP EWM system assigns parking slots in the yard based on the
type of vehicle, size, and the type of goods being carried. This helps in managing the space in the
yard effectively.
6. Yard security management: The system tracks the movement of vehicles in the yard, ensuring
that only authorized vehicles are entering the yard. It also tracks the time taken for the vehicle to
unload or load the goods.
7. Yard reporting: The SAP EWM system generates real-time reports on the yard operations, such
as the number of vehicles entering and exiting the yard, the time taken for loading and
unloading, and the space utilization in the yard.
This use case demonstrates how SAP EWM can help in managing the yard operations effectively,
ensuring efficient use of space, and reducing the time taken for loading and unloading of goods.
