• Key Concepts: 
  Latest Starting Date (LSD) is a feature in SAP Extended Warehouse Management (EWM) that allows users to set a date for when a certain task should be started. This date is used to plan and schedule tasks in the warehouse. It is also used to determine the order in which tasks should be completed. 
  
  How to use it: 
  The LSD can be set for any task in the warehouse, such as picking, packing, or shipping. To set the LSD, users must first select the task they want to set the LSD for. Then, they must enter the desired date into the LSD field. Once the LSD is set, it will be used to plan and schedule tasks in the warehouse. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When setting an LSD, it is important to consider how long it will take to complete the task. If the task will take longer than expected, it may be necessary to adjust the LSD accordingly. Additionally, it is important to consider any other tasks that may need to be completed before or after the task with an LSD. 
  
  Related Information: 
  The LSD feature is part of SAP EWM’s Task and Resource Management (TRM) module. The TRM module allows users to plan and manage tasks in the warehouse more efficiently by setting deadlines and assigning resources. Additionally, users can use TRM to monitor progress and ensure that tasks are completed on time.
