- Seek an EWM resource that keeps only talking SAP’s best practices not the custom development
- Seek a resource that has vast knowledge/experience with Advanced Production Integration, Quality Inspection Engine (QIE), Delivery Types & Categories, Inventory Management and especially Transportation Management since it is becoming very popular recently.
- Ask for a preliminary Prototype solution before realization phase. This is a MUST
- Stay away replicating your current legacy system in the new EWM Solution. This is the one biggest mistake that causes plenty of custom development in EWM Solution unnecessarily
- Please keep in mind; SAP’s EWM module can handle 90% of any kind of the industry requirement as out of the box solution, so no need to think custom developing your solution
- Stay away deviating standard EWM functionalities
- Stay away custom developing Handheld RF Transactions – it’s the root cause of most majority of the failed EWM projects
- Use EWM RDS Solution (Rapid Deployment Solution) as your start-up guideline for your EWM project
- Validate SI’s fit/gap analysis with SAP North America or SAP AG before you get trapped with unnecessary custom developed EWM solution
