  Key Concepts: 
  Intermediate storage type is a feature of SAP Extended Warehouse Management (SCM-EWM) that allows users to store goods in an intermediate storage area before they are moved to their final destination. This feature is useful for managing large warehouses, as it allows goods to be stored in a more organized manner. It also helps to reduce the amount of time and effort required to move goods from one location to another. 
  
  How to use it: 
  In order to use the intermediate storage type feature, users must first create an intermediate storage area in the warehouse. This can be done by selecting the “Create Intermediate Storage Type” option from the Warehouse Management menu. Once the intermediate storage area has been created, users can then assign goods to it by selecting the “Assign Goods” option from the Warehouse Management menu. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When creating an intermediate storage area, it is important to consider the size and layout of the warehouse. This will help ensure that goods are stored in an efficient manner and that they can be easily accessed when needed. Additionally, it is important to ensure that all goods assigned to an intermediate storage area are properly labeled so that they can be easily identified when needed.
