• Key Concepts: 
  Function code is a type of SAP transaction code used in the Extended Warehouse Management (EWM) component of the Supply Chain Management (SCM) module. It is used to control the flow of data and processes within the EWM system. Function codes are used to define the type of action that needs to be taken, such as creating a new document, changing an existing document, or deleting a document.
  
  How to use it: 
  Function codes are used in conjunction with other SAP transactions, such as material documents and warehouse tasks. When a user wants to perform an action in EWM, they must first enter the appropriate function code. This will then trigger the appropriate action in the system. For example, if a user wants to create a new material document, they would enter the function code “CREATE”. This would then trigger the system to create a new material document.
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When entering function codes into SAP, it is important to make sure that they are entered correctly. If an incorrect function code is entered, it can cause errors or unexpected results in the system. It is also important to remember that some function codes may require additional information or parameters in order to be executed correctly.
