What is the difference between IM and WM

· Since the lowest level at which stock can be managed is the Storage Location level, the system displays the inventory levels as summarized values and provides very limited information about individual pick slots, such as which materials are stored in specific storage bins.

· Where and how stock is placed within the warehouse is random as placement strategies are nonexistent.

· When there is a requirement for SAP transactions to be executed on a radio frequency device, Advanced Business Application Programming (ABAP) coding is required because SAP Console does not provide standard out-of-the-box RF transactions for IM.

· The ability to replenish dedicated picking areas is not available in IM.

· Automation of pick logic and travel paths is not possible; picking is according to the sequence in which the order was entered / received and is not based on material and bin locations.

· Performing cycle counts at the individual bin location is not possible because quantity is presented to the end user as a summarized value. Operators cannot record the inventory at each bin; therefore, each bin quantity will have to be added up first to get total, and then it can be entered into the system

For example, suppose the system says there is a total quantity of 200 gaskets in the rack. When it is time to do the cycle count, the 200 gaskets are spread throughout three locations in these quantities: 100, 50 and 50 respectively. IM does not allow you to enter the individual quantities at each of the bins. Instead verification of physical inventory is limited to the confirmation that there are 200 gaskets in the rack.
Where and how they are stored is not visible.

· IM does not have the ability to determine space/bin utilization for a warehouse facility, and does not provide any space optimization business functions.

Why Bill Gates decides to Sell OFF Microsoft?

Letter from Banta Singh to Mr. Bill Gates
Subject: Problems with my new computer
Dear Mr. Bill Gates,We have bought a computer for our home and we have found some problems, which I want to bring to your notice.
1. There is a button 'start' but there is no 'stop' button. We request you to check this.
2. One doubt is whether any 're-scooter' is available in system? I find only 're-cycle', but I own a scooter at my home.
3. There is 'Find' button but it is not working properly. My wife lost the door key and we tried a lot trace the key with this 'find' button, but was unable to trace. Please rectify this problem.
4. My child learnt 'Microsoft word' now he wants to learn 'Mi crosoft sentence', so when you will provide that?
5. I bought computer, CPU, mouse and keyboard, but there is only one icon which shows 'My Computer': when you will povide the remaining items?
6. It is surprising that windows says 'MY Pictures' but there is not even a single photo of mine. So when will you keep my photo in that
7. There is 'MICROSOFT OFFICE' what about 'MICROSOFT HOME' since I use the PC at home only.
8. You provided 'My Recent Documents'. When you will provide 'My Past Documents'?
9. You provide 'My Network Places'. For God sake please do not provide 'My Secret Places'.
I do not want to let my wife know where I go after my office hours.Regards,BantaLast one to Mr. Bill கேட்ஸ்
