Let us look at the changes SAP EWM 9.5 brought to the Labor Management module as far as processors are concerned.

 1. It is now possible to maintain processor types, reporting groups and work categories:

SAP EWM 9.5 - Enhancements to Processors

And then assign these indicators in the master record of the processor business partner:

SAP EWM 9.5 - Enhancements to Processors

2. In transaction BP you can also create processor groups and assign processors and supervisors to them through the TLM* relationships:

This lets the system build analytics not only for an individual processor, but for a whole group. Groups can contain nested subgroups, for example:

3. Mass processing of processors has appeared in the Warehouse Management Monitor:

4. Processors can be loaded into SAP EWM from a CSV file using transaction «/SCWM/PRR_UPLOAD - Upload Processors» (or report /SCWM/R_BP_LM_UPLOAD). The data structure looks as follows:

Overall these are useful changes, worth using if you have the Labor Management module in place.
