  Goods to man is a type of order picking process in SAP Extended Warehouse Management (EWM) that optimizes the order picking process by bringing the goods to the picker instead of the picker going to the goods. This process is used to reduce the amount of time and effort needed to pick orders, as well as increase accuracy and efficiency. 
  
  How to use it: 
  In SAP EWM, goods to man is used by setting up a picking route for each order. The route is determined by the system based on the location of the goods and the picker. The system then sends instructions to the picker on where to go and what items to pick. Once all items have been picked, the order is completed and sent for further processing.
