business system, then enters ERP warehouse number and EWM warehouse number and
then click on save icon.

2. CIF Plant from ECC to EWM: Now we shall CIF the created plant from ECC to EWM. In
decentralized EWM system we need Ciffing process to transfer configurational data
(Enterprise structure) and master data (materials, vendors, customers etc.). However, in
embedded EWM system ciffing is not required it is done by the system automatically.

➔ Login to the ECC system and use t-code CFM1 for CIF the plant from ECC to EWM. Enter the
model’s name (use your own, destination logical system (EWM SERVER), APO application

Scheduling, Transport Management etc.)
