• Key Concepts: 
  Intermediate storage section is a feature of SAP Extended Warehouse Management (SCM-EWM) that allows goods to be stored in a designated area between two processes. This feature is used to temporarily store goods that are waiting to be processed or moved to another location. It is also used to separate different types of goods, such as hazardous materials, from other goods. 
  
  How to use it: 
  Intermediate storage sections can be created in SAP EWM by defining the section in the warehouse structure. The section can then be assigned to a specific process or location. Goods can then be moved into the intermediate storage section and stored until they are ready to be processed or moved to another location. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When creating an intermediate storage section, it is important to consider the size and type of goods that will be stored in the section. This will help ensure that the section is large enough and has the necessary safety features for storing the goods. Additionally, it is important to ensure that the section is properly labeled so that workers know which goods are stored in the section.
