Yard Management (YM) in SAP EWM helps you:

• Control and monitor movements of vehicles and transportation units in the yard.

• Manage check-in/check-out, parking, and dock assignment.

• Integrate with warehouse processes (inbound, outbound, cross-docking).

Key Elements in Yard Management

1. Yard Layout

   • Divided into Yard Bins (just like storage bins inside warehouse).

   • Yard bins represent parking spaces, checkpoints, or doors/docks.

2. Yard Resource Objects

   • Vehicle: e.g., truck, trailer.

   • Transportation Unit (TU): The object representing the load carrier (container, truck + load).

3. Yard Movements

   • Check-in / Check-out: Register vehicle entering/leaving yard.

   • Move: Assign a TU from one yard bin (parking) to another (loading door).

   • Docking / Undocking: Position TU at a specific door for loading/unloading.

Yard Management Process Flow

1. Check-In

   • Truck arrives at the gate → Security checks documents.

   • TU created in SAP EWM → Vehicle registered in the yard.

2. Parking Assignment

   • TU is placed in a yard bin (parking space) until a dock is free.

3. Move to Door/Dock

   • TU moved to assigned door (yard bin linked to warehouse door).

4. Loading/Unloading

   • Inbound: Goods unloaded from TU → Goods Receipt process.

   • Outbound: Goods packed and loaded into TU → Goods Issue process.

5. Check-Out

   • After loading/unloading, TU leaves yard → Security confirms check-out.
