A Logical Transaction in SAP EWM is a predefined warehouse process or action that represents a business activity, which can then be executed via RF (Radio Frequency) devices or mobile devices.

Think of it as a shortcut or template for a warehouse operation, like “Confirm Picking” or “Pack HU,” which the system knows how to execute on RF screens or apps.

Key Points

• Logical Transactions are abstract representations of warehouse tasks.

• They link a warehouse activity to a specific RF screen or process flow.

• They do not contain physical stock movements themselves, but trigger the underlying warehouse tasks in EWM.

Why Logical Transactions Are Important

1. Simplifies Mobile Operations

   • Operators don’t need to know the complex SAP transactions behind the scenes.

2. Consistency

   • Same logical transaction can be used on multiple RF devices or screens.

3. Flexibility

   • Can configure different screens, fields, or process flows for the same logical transaction.

4. Role-Based Execution

   • Logical transactions can be assigned to roles or personalization profiles.

How it Works

1. Define Logical Transaction

   • In configuration, assign a name, process type, RF screen, and task type.

2. Assign to Personalization Profile / Role

   • Determines which operators see and execute the transaction.

3. Execution on RF Device

   • Operator selects the logical transaction (e.g., “Confirm Picking”).

   • System guides the operator through scanning bins, materials, and confirming quantities.

   • Underlying Warehouse Task (WT) is updated in EWM.
