The Extended Warehouse Management module is a component of the Supply Chain Management (SCM) business suite and can be implemented as a centralised part of an SAP ERP installation or as a decentralised system, depending on the business requirement. EWM integrates with:
- ERP Logistics Execution
- Master Data Management

The Warehouse Management System can integrate with internal and external subsystems such as:

Mobilising EWM
Significant performance benefits in productivity, accuracy and labour management can be realised with the mobilisation of EWM. Mobilisation can be achieved using the RF presentation management transactions, RFID, voice integration and mobile printing. This is possible through various SAP technologies, predominantly ITSMobile which is now a fully integrated part of SAP, but also SAPConsole and WebSAPConsole.
