• Key Concepts: 
  A conveyor system is a type of material handling system used in SAP Extended Warehouse Management (SCM-EWM) to move goods from one location to another. It is an automated system that can be used to transport goods from one area of the warehouse to another, such as from the receiving dock to the storage area. The conveyor system can also be used to move goods from one warehouse to another. 
  
  How to use it: 
  In SAP EWM, a conveyor system is set up by defining the conveyor lines and the associated resources. The conveyor lines are defined by specifying the start and end points of the line, as well as the type of conveyor (e.g., roller, belt, etc.). The resources associated with the conveyor line are then defined, such as the type of material handling equipment (e.g., forklift, pallet jack, etc.) and any other necessary resources (e.g., personnel). Once the conveyor line is set up, it can be used to move goods from one location to another within the warehouse. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When setting up a conveyor system in SAP EWM, it is important to consider the size and weight of the goods that will be transported on the line. This will help ensure that the right type of material handling equipment is used for each line. Additionally, it is important to consider any safety requirements that may be necessary for operating a conveyor system in a warehouse environment.
