  Key Concepts: 
  A material flow system action is a type of action that is used in SAP Extended Warehouse Management (SCM-EWM) to control the flow of materials within a warehouse. It is used to define the sequence of steps that must be taken in order to move materials from one location to another. This includes defining the route, the type of transport, and the timing of the movement. 
  
  How to use it: 
  In order to use a material flow system action, you must first define the route that the material will take. This includes defining the start and end points, as well as any intermediate stops along the way. Once this is done, you can then define the type of transport that will be used for the movement (e.g. truck, train, etc.). Finally, you can set up a schedule for when the movement should take place. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When setting up a material flow system action, it is important to consider any potential obstacles that may arise during the movement. For example, if there are any hazardous materials involved, you should ensure that they are handled in accordance with safety regulations. Additionally, it is important to consider any potential delays that may occur due to traffic or other external factors.
