Yes, SAP® EWM by KNAPP can also be integrated with non-SAP® ERP systems – through middleware or interfaces, for example.

From a technical and strategic point of view, however, we recommend planning the solution in combination with SAP® ERP, as this makes integration seamless and lowers the effort associated with implementation.
Yes, SAP® EWM by KNAPP can be integrated with non-SAP® warehouse control systems through standardized interfaces. In addition, SAP® EWM offers an integrated MFS (material flow system) module for controlling automated warehouse technology. The module makes direct communication between conveyors and control systems possible without any additional middleware.
