Set up the foundation of EWM Embedded in S/4HANA, from the ERP connection to the outbound test.
Until the ERP and EWM are connected, no delivery reaches the warehouse side. 28 short lessons to set everything up in the right order, then prove it with a goods receipt and a goods issue.
- 1 The basics
- 2 Connecting the ERP and EWM
- 3 The warehouse structure
- 4 Testing the goods receipt
- 5 Testing the goods issue
A foundation to build in the right order, and an error message that does not say why.
EWM Embedded lives inside your S/4HANA system, but it does not run on its own: you first connect it to the ERP, then describe the warehouse to it.
A connection with many layers
Logical systems, destinations, queues, schedulers, distribution model: if one link is missing, the delivery does not reach EWM.
A message that does not tell the whole story
When nothing arrives, the error message does not always tell you why. You need to know which settings to check, and in which order.
A warehouse to describe on both sides
The warehouse exists on the ERP side and on the EWM side, with its partners and its storage locations. You have to link them properly.
This micro-training follows the order in which this foundation is built, setting by setting, on a system shown on screen.
You watch each step, then you redo it on your own system.
Six things you will be able to do on an SAP system.
You do not become an expert in warehouse processes: you can build the technical foundation of EWM Embedded and test it.
Place EWM Embedded in context
The three forms of warehouse management in SAP, and where EWM Embedded sits among them.
Understand how systems exchange data
RFC, qRFC, the scheduler, IDocs and ALE: what each one does, and why the connection between the ERP and EWM needs them.
Connect the ERP and EWM
Logical system, qRFC destination, Business System Group, queues, schedulers, distribution model: you chain the settings in the right order.
Describe the company
Organizational structure, Business Partner, Supply Chain Unit: you can represent the logistics site in the system.
Create the warehouse on both sides
The warehouse on the ERP side, the warehouse number on the EWM side, their parameters, then the link between the two, the business partners and the storage locations.
Prove that it works
A purchase order becomes an inbound delivery, a sales order becomes an outbound delivery: two tests that show the foundation holds.
We would rather tell you honestly who it is for, and who it is not for.
This is a configuration course, built around on-screen practice. Check that it matches what you are looking for before you click.
This micro-training is for you if…
- You are a logistics consultant and you are preparing or taking over an EWM Embedded setup.
- You are a key user or part of an SAP team, and you want to understand what is set up behind the connection between the ERP and EWM.
- You know the basics of SAP logistics (purchase order, delivery) and you want to see how EWM connects to them.
- You would rather watch a configuration redone step by step, in order, than listen to a lecture.
This micro-training is not for you if…
- You are looking for the warehouse processes themselves (goods receipt, putaway, picking): look at the SAP EWM specialization instead.
- You have no background in SAP logistics: the course assumes you know the basics.
- You have no access to an S/4HANA system with EWM in Embedded mode where you are allowed to configure: you can watch everything on video, but not redo the settings. No system is provided.
- You want a complete SAP path, beyond this configuration: look at the Expert Training Center instead.
Six chapters, twenty-eight lessons, from the first concept to the outbound test.
Each lesson opens with a short video. It is followed by a text that tells you where to find the setting, what the video shows on screen and what to remember, then by a three-question quiz.
The goal of this micro-training
End up with a working EWM Embedded foundation, proven by a goods receipt and a goods issue. The warehouse processes themselves are not the goal here.
01 Introduction 1 lesson · 4 min +
02 The basics 3 lessons · 8 min +
03 Connecting ERP and EWM 12 lessons · 31 min +
04 Warehouse structure 9 lessons · 22 min +
05 Testing the connection 2 lessons · 10 min +
06 Conclusion 1 lesson · 1 min +
Three simple principles, applied to every lesson.
You watch, then you redo it
The video shows the setting on an SAP system. The text tells you where to find it and what to remember, so you can redo it yourself without scrubbing back.
We go in order
The settings depend on one another. The lessons follow the order in which the foundation is built: the connection first, then the warehouse, then the tests.
You check what you understood
Three questions at the end of each lesson. You know right away whether you can move on, or whether a point is worth another look.
Michael guides you from the first setting to the last test.

Michael has been an SAP Logistics consultant since 2022, in-house at Ceratizit, where he works on S/4HANA and EWM. He has been SAP EWM certified since August 2023. Before becoming a consultant, he was a key user on an SAP implementation project: that is where the name Key User Training comes from.
Co-founder of Key User Training with Pierre Balbinot, he designed this micro-training so you can build the EWM Embedded foundation in order, without guessing which setting comes next.
What our learners say about Key User Training.
A leap forward in my SAP practice
I had already been an SAP user across several modules for a few years, and the Key User Training team really helped me take a leap forward and genuinely moved my SAP practice ahead. The professionalism and availability of the trainers are their main strengths.
Structured, progressive, concrete
Key User trainings take you by the hand. They are structured and progressive, and combine theory with practice through demonstrations based on concrete situations encountered every day in companies.
Five trainings, same clear structure
Five trainings already with Key User Training. It is really the same structure whatever the course: theory and practice through concrete situations. The big plus is the responsiveness, the trainers getting back to you on questions or difficulties.
A complete path, to reopen the day you configure.
You go through the course once, end to end, then come back to a setting the day you have to redo it.
SAP EWM Embedded micro-training
Configure the foundation of EWM Embedded in S/4HANA, from the connection between the ERP and EWM to the outbound test.
How systems exchange data, the connection between the ERP and EWM, the warehouse structure and two end-to-end tests, in short lessons you follow at your own pace.
14-day money-back guarantee
If the micro-training isn't right for you, just send us an email within 14 days of buying it. You get a full refund and you don't need to give a reason.
The nine questions to ask yourself before you sign up.
Do I need an SAP system to follow the course?
To watch the lessons, no: everything is shown on screen. To redo the settings, you need an S/4HANA system with EWM in Embedded mode, where you are allowed to configure. No system comes with the micro-training.
What level do I need?
Knowing the basics of SAP logistics helps: purchase order, delivery, the idea of a warehouse. The concepts of data exchange between systems (RFC, qRFC, IDocs, ALE) are explained before they are used.
Does this course replace a real implementation?
No. You follow a base configuration on a case shown on screen. The choices specific to your company (flows, volumes, authorizations) are still for you and your team to define.
How long does it take to finish?
The 28 videos add up to 1 h 16. Plan for more with the texts and the quizzes, and more still if you redo each setting on a system. You go at your own pace.
Is the course available in French?
Yes. This page is for the English version: videos in English with English subtitles. The French version has its own page, on the French site.
How long do I have access?
For life. You can come back to a lesson the day you need it. Access covers the course content, not an SAP system.
Can I ask a question while I follow the course?
Yes, by email: just reply to the email that gives you access. This micro-training includes no live session and no one-to-one coaching.
What if the course isn't right for me?
You have a 14-day money-back guarantee, counted from the day you buy. A simple email is enough, no justification required, and we refund you in full.
Can I get an invoice for my company?
Yes. Key User Training is a training company based in Luxembourg. Just email us after you pay and we will send you an invoice in your company's name. If you need a specific reference on it (such as a purchase order number), write to us before you buy.
