The SERKEM solution in detail

Increasing customer demands are leading more and more companies to outsource additional logistics services.

Particularly in the area of packaging, it is often uneconomical for companies to maintain the capacity, necessary specialized machinery, or specific process know-how for certain packaging processes.

Outsourcing of packaging processes

That’s why companies turn to co-packers, fillers, contract packers, and packaging contractors. These entities handle the packaging and set-building processes on behalf of the manufacturer, taking on tasks such as assembling, packaging, and distributing products or product bundles.

Outsourcing these packaging processes is particularly common in the food, beverage, and pharmaceutical industries.

At a glance

Over the whole supply chain SAP helps to make the processes more efficient and more transparent, whether under SAP WM or SAP EWM. The optimized further processing and packaging of goods is also included in SAP like the optimized warehouse and transportation logistic.

Production planning and control

  • Transparent monitoring of production orders
  • Continuous traceability (SSCC, Charge,MHD,etc)
  • System-based recall in co-packing
  • Better availability statements
  • More efficient usage of resources
  • Mapping of kitting and display-building processes

  • More transparency at warehouse stock and material usage
  • More efficient order processing due to clearer planning
  • Needs-based procurement and control
  • Lower capital commitment due to less stocks

  • Easier stock management without interfaces
  • Supply and disposal of production
  • Clearer price development of property
  • Higher transparency over storage retention time

  • Service provider/customer receives the delivery as a kit
  • Kit-to-stock (kit creation at stock)
  • Kit-to-order (order-based kit creation)

With the SERKEM kitting solution, the kitting processes can be integrated in SAP EWM as well as SAP WM. The kitting order will be released in SAP WM through the customer order. SAP EWM uses the Value Added Services for kitting orders. The combination of kits takes place at working places in the warehouse.

With the solution of SERKEM the supplier works, depending on constellation, either directly at the SAP system of the customer or is closely interconnected with that.

  • Needs registration for ordered packaging orders
  • Material disposition of packaging materials and acquisition positions of logistics service provider
  • Settlement of packaging orders including all necessary documents for production
  • Logistical invoicing of orders

According to the situation, the purchasers can offer the packing material and packages of themselves or hand de material purchase over to the co-packer. Also the handover of up-and downstream services through the co-packer is possible.

These customer-specific decisions can be included additionally in SAP WM at the mapping of processes.

Further Highlights of the SAP co-packing solution from SERKEM for SAP (SAP WM and SAP EWM):

  • Optimized user interfaces
  • Optimized, independent transactions
  • Integrated master data control
  • Integrated print functions
  • Automated stock list takeover and migration, e.g. from Excel
