• Key Concepts: 
  A handling unit type group is a grouping of handling units in SAP Extended Warehouse Management (EWM). Handling units are physical containers that are used to store and transport goods. A handling unit type group is a way to organize and classify different types of handling units, such as pallets, boxes, and bags. 
  
  How to use it: 
  In SAP EWM, handling unit type groups are used to define the characteristics of different types of handling units. This includes the size, weight, and other properties of the handling unit. The handling unit type group also defines how the handling unit can be used in the warehouse, such as whether it can be stacked or not. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When creating a new handling unit type group, it is important to consider how it will be used in the warehouse. For example, if the handling unit will be used for storing goods on shelves, then it should be designed to fit on the shelves. Additionally, it is important to consider the weight of the handling unit when creating a new type group.
