What is Extended Warehouse Management (EWM)?
SAP's advanced warehouse solution for complex warehouse processes, available embedded in S/4HANA or decentralized.
EWM handles inbound, outbound, internal movements, wave management, RF mobile transactions, labor management, and slotting. Basic warehouse management is included with S/4HANA; advanced functions require additional licensing. Testing involves RF devices, label printing, and integration with deliveries.
