Advantages

• track exact stock location within one storage location with FIFO

• provides put away functionality for palletizing. etc

• provides better picking functionality

• allows for picking locations with replenishment when falls below a defined quantity

• allows segregation of stock types within a warehouse

Disadvantage

• increased master data maintenance

• additional process step for receipt and picking

• requires expert knowledge to configure for maximum benefit

• more complex to resolve problems caused by incorrect processing

Generally WM provide better automation of processes, particularly with RF, but requires more maintain and process discipline. I would recommend using WM only if the standard logisitics functionality is insufficant for your needs.

Hi

Warehouse Management is always advantageous when the Inventory management could not handle the materials in storage locations.You can track the material exactly where it is stored and whether it is on the move or in storage bin

I think almost all the disadvantages from basic WM for the complicated scenarios are handled thru Extended Warehouse management.

Hope it helps
