WAREHOUSE MANAGEMENT
The Warehouse management
application is fully integrated into the
sap R/3 system. Transactions that are
initiated in other SAP components
result in corresponding tasks in WM
which activate actual physical
transfers within the warehouse.
Eg: If a good receipt is posted in the Inventory Management
system ,the stock level is increased in the WM system .Because of
the good receipt posting ,an action is started in the WM system
that notifies the user that material must be stored in the
warehouse
Why Warehouse Management
While Inventory Management ,as part of
Materials Management ,can only provide
information on the total quantity of material
in stock ,Warehouse stock enables a precise
specification of the exact location of a
particular quantity of material and informs
you whether this quantity is currently in a
storage bin
Some of the advantage of SAP
WM

others modules like MM and SD
