Extended Warehouse Management (EWM) includes the implementation of a radio frequency (RF)
framework satisfying the following objectives:
• Decouples business logic from the physical presentation of application data on a selected
presentation device
• Supports a large variety of device sizes, device types, and data entry types
• Provides appropriate forms of data presentation according to application data, device capabilities,
and user preferences
• Calls appropriate services according to resource inputs (such as verification/input data, keystroke, or
logon request)
• Enables personalized menus and screens
• Enables flexible and user-friendly screen and flow logic generation and modification
The RF framework supports both GUI and character-based devices, as well as browser-based devices.
The system uses ITS Mobile for connecting browser-based devices.
The RF framework supports the use of bar codes for identification and verification purposes. SAP
currently supports EAN 128 bar code types, but you can also support other types within the RF
framework.
