Project overview
A consumer goods warehouse was losing too much time during stock counts. Paper-based counting created delays, recounts, and avoidable transcription errors.
Challenges
- Count sheets slowed execution and review
- Cycle counts were not prioritized by business risk
- Variance analysis required too many manual follow-ups
SAP EWM solution design
The redesigned SAP EWM process introduced RF-based counting, tolerance-based recount logic, and structured difference analysis. Instead of treating inventory as a year-end exercise, the model supported more frequent and more reliable control.
Key outcomes
Practical outcomes include faster counting, fewer discrepancies, and a smaller recount workload. SAP community guidance on RF-driven physical inventory supports these efficiency improvements.
Next steps
The next step would be automated cycle-count triggers based on volatility and value.
