What is Lean WM in SAP LE - Logistics Execution?

SAP Term: Lean WM

• Component: LE

• Component Name: Logistics Execution

• Description: A warehousing structure in which you can use transfer orders as pick orders even in warehouses with a simple structure. Without managing storage bins in WM, you can use the Lean-WM function to create transfer orders for deliveries but not for goods receipts or goods issues. For this activity, no bin data and no stock is updated at storage bin level. This takes place at storage location level. In the normal WM structure, stock is managed in individual storage bins or spaces in the warehouse. With Lean WM, quantities of stock can be viewed in Inventory Management IM but not in WM.
