• Key Concepts: 
  Floor check is a feature in SAP Extended Warehouse Management (EWM) that allows users to check the accuracy of goods receipt and goods issue processes. It is used to ensure that the right quantity of goods is received or issued, and that the right goods are being handled. The floor check process is initiated by a warehouse worker who scans the barcode of the material being handled. The system then checks if the material is correct and if the quantity matches what was expected. 
  
  How to use it: 
  To use floor check, warehouse workers must first be trained on how to use the system. They must be able to scan barcodes and enter data into the system accurately. Once they are trained, they can initiate a floor check by scanning the barcode of the material being handled. The system will then compare the scanned data with what was expected and alert the user if there is a discrepancy. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  It is important to ensure that all warehouse workers are properly trained on how to use floor check before it is implemented. This will help ensure that all data entered into the system is accurate and that discrepancies are caught quickly. Additionally, it is important to regularly review floor check data to ensure that it is accurate and up-to-date.
