Why Modern Supply Chains Need More Transparency
Supply chains have become more complex and dynamic. Delivery times are changing, demand fluctuates, and at the same time, customers expect high availability.
Those who make decisions based on outdated or separate data react too late. An integrated supply chain creates transparency across the entire process.
Connect the Entire Supply Chain with SAP
SAP connects planning, purchasing, warehousing, and delivery on a common data basis. This allows for better planning of goods flows and earlier identification of bottlenecks.
Where Supply Chain Management Creates Concrete Value
The benefits are evident wherever planning, procurement, warehousing, and shipping have previously operated separately, and inventories only become visible afterwards. With SAP SCM, these areas access the same data, allowing for coordination of demand, availability, and delivery dates across the entire supply chain.
Typical Application Areas:
- Demand and Sales Planning
- Procurement and Supplier Processes
- Inventory Management
- Warehouse Management with SAP EWM
- Logistics and Delivery Processing
- Cross-Location Goods Flows
Supply Chain Consulting with Understanding of Real Processes
The best planning is of little help if it does not interact with purchasing, warehousing, and operational processes. Therefore, SRB does not consider individual functions but the entire goods flow.

What is SAP EWM?
SAP EWM (Extended Warehouse Management) is SAP's warehouse management system. It controls goods receipt, storage, picking, and shipping down to the storage location level and is directly connected to purchasing, production, and sales in S/4HANA. For simpler requirements, there is a leaner variant without its own storage location control called SAP Stock Room Management.
Who offers SAP EWM consulting in Austria?
SAP EWM consulting in Austria is offered by SAP partners with a logistics focus. The SRB Consulting team is an SAP Gold Partner based in Vienna and implements SAP EWM for production and trading companies throughout Austria, from warehouse structure to process definition to ongoing operations after go-live.
Which SAP solution is suitable for warehouse management in an Austrian production company?
In a production company, SAP warehouse management must interact with production and material requirements planning to ensure that materials are available on time at the line. SAP EWM achieves this because warehouse movements and production orders are based on the same master data. Where requirements are simpler, SAP Stock Room Management is often the more economical choice. Which variant fits depends on warehouse size, degree of automation, and number of movements.
Which SAP partner in Austria advises on logistics and supply chain processes in S/4HANA?
For SAP logistics and supply chain processes in S/4HANA, partners like SRB are needed, who consider planning, procurement, warehousing, and shipping together rather than separately. We have been supporting Austrian companies in exactly these processes for over 25 years and develop extensions for them natively in the SAP standard.
How does SAP EWM differ from standalone warehouse management software?
A separate warehouse management software brings its own master data and requires an interface to the ERP, resulting in inventories being managed in two places. SAP EWM works directly on the data of the SAP system, so inventory, order, and delivery share the same foundation. The effort is therefore more focused on setting up the warehouse structure.
For which companies is SAP EWM worthwhile?
SAP EWM is worthwhile from the point where multiple warehouse areas, high movement numbers, or cross-location goods flows come together. For manageable warehouses with few movements, SAP Stock Room Management is usually the more economical choice. We clarify this in advance based on actual quantities and processes.
How does an SAP EWM project proceed at SRB?
We start with a recording of the warehouse and logistics processes, define the warehouse structure and the processes in the system from this, implement the solution, and accompany the go-live in ongoing operations. Afterwards, the same contacts remain responsible for adjustments and extensions.
