- /SAP EWM Architecture Review
An independent senior review of your SAP EWM architecture.
A structured, senior-led review of an existing or proposed SAP EWM architecture — surfacing risk, validating design decisions and producing a prioritised set of recommendations.
Who this is for
Your EWM programme is about to start and you want an independent check on the proposed architecture
An architecture already exists and you want a second, senior opinion before implementation locks it in
An implementation is under delivery pressure and design decisions are being made faster than they're being reviewed
You're seeing performance or scalability concerns in an existing EWM environment
You need to make an embedded-vs-decentralized deployment decision and want it validated independently
Your EWM implementation needs to integrate with warehouse automation and the boundary isn't clearly defined
The programme needs recovery support and a clear-eyed view of where the architecture is contributing to the problem
Questions we help answer
- Is the proposed or current deployment model — embedded EWM in S/4HANA, or decentralized EWM — actually right for this landscape?
- Where are the process design decisions likely to cause operational problems at go-live?
- Are the integration points with ERP, automation and third-party systems designed with the right boundaries and failure handling?
- Is the SAP BTP extension strategy (side-by-side vs. in-app) consistent with clean-core principles?
- Where is custom development being used where standard EWM capability would do?
- What are the biggest architectural risks to this programme, ranked by impact and likelihood?
What we review
Review dimensions are scoped to what's relevant for your programme.
- EWM architecture and deployment model
- Process design (inbound, outbound, internal execution)
- Integration design (ERP, automation, third-party systems)
- Master data structure and governance
- RF transaction design
- Automation integration (MFS/WCS boundary)
- Custom development scope and extension points
- SAP BTP extensions and clean-core alignment
- Operational resilience and exception handling
Approach
Discover
Review architecture documentation, design decisions and, where relevant, the live or in-build system.
Analyse
Assess design choices against EWM best practice and the operational reality of the landscape.
Challenge
Pressure-test decisions that carry the highest risk or the least reversibility.
Recommend
Deliver findings, a risk and dependency map, and a prioritised set of design recommendations.
Typical deliverables
Deliverables are scoped per engagement — not every review includes every item below.

Why ERP Factory
- The review is led by senior architects who have implemented EWM, not delivered a generic architecture audit template
- We understand where SAP EWM's responsibility ends and the automation/integration layer begins — a boundary many reviews miss
- The output is a prioritised set of recommendations, not an exhaustive list with no sense of what matters most
- We're independent of your implementation partner, which is the point of a second opinion
