• Key Concepts: 
  Interim storage area is a feature of SAP Warehouse Management (LE-WM) that allows goods to be stored temporarily in a designated area. This area is used for goods that are not yet ready to be put away in their final storage location, or for goods that are waiting to be picked for delivery. 
  
  How to use it: 
  Interim storage areas can be created in the SAP system and assigned to specific storage types. Goods can then be moved into the interim storage area and stored until they are ready to be put away or picked. The system will track the goods in the interim storage area and provide information on their location and status. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  It is important to ensure that the interim storage area is monitored regularly, as goods may remain in the area for an extended period of time. It is also important to ensure that the goods are properly labeled and tracked so that they can be easily identified and located when needed.
