  Key Concepts: 
  A communication point is a component of SAP Extended Warehouse Management (SCM-EWM) that enables communication between the warehouse and external systems. It is used to send and receive data from external systems, such as barcode scanners, RFID readers, and other warehouse management systems. The communication point is responsible for translating the data into a format that can be understood by the EWM system.
  
  How to use it: 
  The communication point is used to send and receive data from external systems. To use it, you must first configure the communication point in the EWM system. This includes setting up the connection parameters, such as the IP address, port number, and protocol type. Once configured, the communication point can be used to send and receive data from external systems.
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When configuring the communication point, make sure to use a secure connection protocol such as SSL or TLS. This will ensure that all data sent and received is encrypted and secure. Additionally, make sure to test the connection before using it in production. This will ensure that all data is being sent and received correctly.
