On April 20, we released a new set of features for the SAP Logistics Management mobile App – SAP Warehouse Logistics, focusing on improving usability, increasing flexibility in warehouse execution, and enabling more efficient day-to-day operations.
Summary of Key Innovations
This release introduces several enhancements designed to streamline warehouse processes and improve the user experience:
- New Home Screen for faster and more intuitive navigation
- Putaway Task Handling, enabling seamless task processing on the go
- Product, Bin, and HU Lookup for quick access to warehouse information
- Ad Hoc Warehouse Tasks to handle unplanned work more efficiently
- Localized Units of Measure, displayed in the user’s selected language
Together, these updates help users work more efficiently, respond to changes faster, and reduce operational complexity.
New Home Screen Experience
With this release, we introduce a completely redesigned home screen to streamline navigation and improve the overall user experience.
Key improvements include:
- Simplified and intuitive layout, allowing users to quickly access core warehouse functions
- Faster navigation, reducing the number of steps required to start common tasks
- Improved visual structure, helping users focus on what matters most
The new home screen ensures that users can begin their work more efficiently right from the moment they open the app.
Putaway Tasks Handling
Warehouse operatives can now execute putaway tasks directly within the app, enabling a more seamless and guided workflow.
With this release, we introduce a new entry point “Putaway” in the Quick Access area, making it easier to find and process relevant tasks.
This enhancement allows users to:
- Access putaway tasks quickly via the new Quick Access entry point
- Enter or scan a product or storage bin to identify associated putaway tasks
- Select and review task details in a dedicated task screen before execution
- Start and confirm tasks seamlessly, similar to the picking process
- Verify destinations using manual input or barcode scanning, ensuring accuracy during execution
During task processing, users also have additional flexibility:
- Adjust the quantity if required during execution
- Change the destination storage bin directly within the task screen
In addition, users benefit from multiple ways to locate putaway tasks:
- Queue-based processing for structured task execution
- Search by delivery for inbound-related tasks
- Direct lookup via specific warehouse task numbers
By combining flexible search options with guided execution and verification, this feature significantly improves efficiency and accuracy in putaway processing while aligning with familiar picking workflows.
Product, Bin, and Handling Unit Lookup
A new lookup capability makes it easier to access key warehouse information in real time, directly within the app.
Users can now enter or scan a product, storage bin, or handling unit (HU) to quickly retrieve relevant information and improve decision-making during operations.
Depending on the object, users gain different insights:
- Product lookup
- View key product attributes such as weight and dimensions
- Check the current stock situation
- Identify where the product is stored within the warehouse
- Storage bin lookup
- See what is currently stored in a bin, including products or handling units
- Gain better visibility into bin utilization and contents
- Handling unit (HU) lookup
- Identify the current location of the HU
- View what materials or products are contained within the HU
This functionality provides full transparency across warehouse objects and reduces the need to switch between systems or rely on manual checks, enabling faster and more informed execution of warehouse tasks.
Ad Hoc Warehouse Task Processing
To better handle unexpected situations, the app now supports receiving and performing ad hoc warehouse tasks.
With this feature, users can:
- Search for ad hoc warehouse tasks directly within the app
- Select and execute tasks on demand, without prior planning
- Quickly respond to unplanned work, ensuring operational continuity
During task processing, the process is guided to ensure accuracy:
- Source, product, and destination must be verified
- Verification can be performed via manual input or barcode scanning, following established warehouse execution patterns
This ensures that even unplanned tasks are carried out with the same level of control and reliability as standard warehouse processes, improving both flexibility and execution quality.
Commercial Units of Measure in User Language
The app now displays commercial units of measure for products in the language selected in user settings.
Benefits include:
- Improved clarity for international users
- Reduced risk of misinterpretation
- More user-friendly and localized experience
This enhancement supports global warehouse teams by making product information easier to understand and use.
Conclusion
The April 20 release focuses on enhancing usability, flexibility, and real-time access to information within the SAP Warehouse Logistics App. These innovations help warehouse operatives work smarter, faster, and with greater confidence in their daily operations.
We hope these new features help improve your daily warehouse operations and enhance the overall user experience.
