• Key Concepts: 
  External access code is a feature in SAP Extended Warehouse Management (EWM) that allows external users to access the system. It is used to authenticate and authorize external users, such as suppliers, customers, and other third-party users, to access the system. The external access code is a unique code that is assigned to each user and is used to identify them when they log in. 
  
  How to use it: 
  To use the external access code, the user must first be registered in the system. Once registered, the user will be assigned an external access code which they can use to log in. The user can then use the system as normal, with all of the features and functions available to them. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  It is important to ensure that the external access code is kept secure and not shared with anyone else. It should also be changed regularly to ensure that it remains secure. Additionally, it is important to ensure that the user has all of the necessary permissions and privileges in order to use the system properly.
