It is important for us before starting to introduce ourselves, to show you our project and our motivations.
For whom? For what? And how?
Hello,
as I said in my welcome e-mail, I'm going to introduce you to our company and, above all, give you your first assignment, so you don't get too bored from the start :)
I'll just give you a quick background so you don't get lost. This is normal at first, just until you get your bearings.
Our marketing department recently published a video presenting our company, which you can watch here.
Personally, I think it's pretty good. I hope it will be a good introduction to our company.
We've just acquired new premises, as the company has expanded. So we're going to have to take possession of our new premises and transfer them to SAP.
I assure you, you'll have some documents to help you, I'm not that sadistic.
I've attached the job description for the position you've just been hired for.
Have fun :)
Michael
SAP Team Manager

Warehousemen are not satisfied with the current way of working.
They have to look for empty slots in the racks, enter the bin by hand, make all the moves manually, etc.
We need to find a solution to help them as much as possible.
The receiving area is small and needs to find the available empty bin quickly.
The storage rack, on the other hand, could allocate a permanent place to each material.
It's up to you!

With more than 400,000 customers worldwide, SAP has established itself over the years as a reference in terms of ERP.
Rare are the software so powerful, and allowing to adapt to all types of business.
It allows a notable improvement of the processes, increases the performance of the companies and especially increases the communication and the exchange of information between service with its single data base.
Training on SAP today is clearly an excellent choice for the future. The application areas are constantly expanding and the need for companies to improve productivity and quality is growing.
However, it must be recognized that it is as powerful as it is complex, which may seem disconcerting at first.
This training, mainly focused on SAP Warehouse Management, a module widely used in companies, addresses in a clear and detailed way all its functionalities in the latest version of SAP ERP.
Who is this training for?
The topics covered are not only of interest to those who work directly with the WM module of SAP. It will be of interest to all those who work in relation with it, such as the Material Manamgement (or MM) module, the Production Planning (or PP) module or the Quality Manamgement (or QM) module.
But not only!
It should also be of interest to warehouse managers, supervisors or managers in the distribution industry who would like to understand in depth the functionalities that are already implemented in their company, or the functionalities that they should consider for the future, as the software offers so many possibilities.
Since this course covers the basics necessary to understand the entire module, people wishing to make a career change in IT and more specifically in SAP are welcome.
However, I advise you to have a taste for logistics as well as a minimal knowledge of SAP. If this is not the case, I refer you to my training "Initiation SAP beginner - The Basics" before venturing into this one.
What will I learn?
This course is designed to be very complete and is divided in an optimal way to allow you to follow at your own pace and to easily consult each small chapter.
We will cover the following topics:
The basic function of a warehouse
Inventory Management
Stock movements
Good Receipt Process
Good Issue Process
Stock Transfer / Bin to Bin
Picking strategies
Putaway strategies
Integration with other modules (PP / QM)
The different inventory procedures
Storage unit management
Hazardous products
And much more (Waehouse Monitor, Mobile Data Entry, RFID or EWM)
A test of 25 questions ends this training, inspired by the SAP LE-WM certification. All answers are clearly detailed and accompanied by a Print Screen
Each part of the course contains downloadable documents that summarize the concepts covered in the video.
No need to take notes, we did it for you!
How will I learn?
The video materials, articles and downloadable documents have been created to make learning enjoyable.
No reading of Powerpoint or other documents !
We wanted to make it more modern, more polished.
In addition, each concept will be clearly explained before moving on to the "Software" part with the help of these explanation videos.
You don't need to have SAP installed on your PC. Everything will be shown to you directly in a real environment.
For those who would like to go further and practice directly in the software, I can recommend the Michael Management website, to get a "Live Access" pass in the ECC 6 with ehP 8 on HANA environment. You will find the link in the last section of the course.
It is with this solution that we have created this course.
What's next?
At the end of this training, you will have learned a lot, not only about the SAP WM module but also about other modules such as IM, PP or QM. But also, you will have learned about Supply Chain.
You'll have everything you need to become a WM consultant.
But as we know that it is sometimes difficult to go beyond the teaching and that, in concrete cases, one can easily get lost, we continue to give you our help and support:
By updating our training courses on a regular basis according to your feedback
By an exchange system via Udemy, notably the Q&A but also by message
By an email address, for more complex cases where it would be necessary to send us files
We want to be close to our community, and above all, to support you in your success.
"What you are tomorrow depends on what you do today".
So take the plunge. Don't hesitate. The best investment you can make is to invest in yourself!
