SAP is an integrated software package for business
applications. SAP is divided into many 'Modules' for ease of implementation.
Each module covers a special aspect of business. Examples are "MM" module covers
'Materials Management', 'CO' module deals with 'Costing' etc. All these modules
are integrated i.e., they look at the same data when queried. Thus data
redundancy can be eliminated. SAP is a real time system. You always look at
current data and not historical data.
SAP R/3 also acts as a 'facilitator' for a number of
other improvement projects, finally resulting in business benefits such as
increased sales and lower cost of operations.
'WM' sub-module of 'MM' module takes care of
'Warehouse Management ' functionality. Warehouses can be managed efficiently at
'Bin location' level using WM module.

automated support that enables you to:
manage complex warehouse
structures

storage bins in the warehouse

storage, such as high rack storage, block storage or fixed bin
