• Key Concepts: 
  Capacity check is a feature of SAP Warehouse Management (LE-WM) that helps to ensure that the warehouse has enough capacity to store goods. It checks the available storage space in the warehouse and compares it to the amount of goods that need to be stored. If there is not enough space, it will alert the user and suggest alternative solutions. 
  
  How to use it: 
  To use capacity check, first select the warehouse in which you want to store the goods. Then enter the amount of goods that need to be stored and select “capacity check” from the menu. The system will then compare the available storage space with the amount of goods that need to be stored and alert you if there is not enough space. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When using capacity check, it is important to remember that it only checks for available storage space in the selected warehouse. If you need to store goods in multiple warehouses, you will need to run capacity check for each warehouse separately.
