Extended Warehouse Management

For companies that utilize SAP S/4HANA® with Extended Warehouse Management, BCCD has a robust mobile, RF scanning, and barcode printing solution for SAP Extended Warehouse Management (EWM) inventory transactions.

BCCD has designed, automated, and optimized SAP EWM software transactions and movement types, TranASAP software, and is purpose-built for simplicity and with today’s rugged and mobile radio frequency (or RF scanning) devices using enterprise-grade Android operating systems (OS). BCCD’s optimized and native SAP RF transactions work in conjunction with existing EWM mobile transactions. The transactions utilize BCCD’s best practice standards to create consistent data collection screens for the material handlers. Each transaction has been designed for Zebra mobile RF scanners with minimal words and little need to use the physical keypad on the device. This has been done to make the system extremely easy to use for the material handler. BCCD’s methodology is to utilize the concept of “data validation.” Within every RF scanning transaction, TranASAP validates every scan, in real-time, with the SAP data, so as to validate that the correct item, quantity, and location is being used. Custom transactions, to include SAP-integrated barcode label printing functionality, have also been built and exists in BCCD’s Software Transaction Library to achieve additional functionality specific to warehousing so as to allow for additional business efficiency. The RF software transactions have been developed in a real-time, directly integrated architecture using SAP’s ITSmobile development and connectivity tools, to include additional SAP connectivity options for select applications: SAP Console, UI5 design and Store and Forward (batch). The software has been designed and optimized to utilize certified mobile RF scanning devices, such as Zebra barcode scanners, hands-free wearables, vehicle-mounted terminals with tethered or Bluetooth barcode scanners, along with enterprise and rugged tablets.
