The purpose of a warehouse management system (WMS) is the management and optimisation of the internal systems for storage and transportation. To provide the WMS, it is necessary that the subordinate systems provide throughput, data quality and stability. The standard describes task and performance areas of an IT system for warehouse management. The terms and abbreviations are defined, the administrative and functional environment is described and the integration of a warehouse management system (WMS) in lower- and upper-level IT systems is explained.
