• Key Concepts: 
  Flexible bin pattern is a feature of SAP Extended Warehouse Management (EWM) that allows users to define and manage multiple storage bin patterns for different types of materials. This feature enables users to store different types of materials in different bins, allowing for more efficient storage and retrieval. 
  
  How to use it: 
  To use the flexible bin pattern feature, users must first define the different bin patterns they want to use. This can be done in the EWM system by creating a new bin pattern and assigning it to a material type. Once the bin pattern is defined, users can assign it to specific materials in the system. The system will then automatically assign the appropriate bin pattern to each material when it is stored in the warehouse. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When defining a new bin pattern, it is important to consider the size and shape of the material that will be stored in it. This will help ensure that the bins are properly sized and configured for efficient storage and retrieval. Additionally, it is important to consider how frequently materials will be retrieved from the bins when designing a bin pattern. This will help ensure that materials are stored in an efficient manner and can be retrieved quickly when needed.
