• Key Concepts: 
  A one-time location is a type of storage location in SAP Extended Warehouse Management (EWM) that is used to store goods for a short period of time. It is typically used for goods that are in transit or awaiting further processing. The one-time location is not assigned to any particular material, and it is not part of the regular warehouse structure. 
  
  How to use it: 
  One-time locations can be used to store goods temporarily while they are in transit or awaiting further processing. They can also be used to store goods that are not part of the regular warehouse structure, such as goods that are being returned or exchanged. To create a one-time location, go to the “Storage Locations” tab in the EWM system and select “Create One-Time Location”. Enter the details of the one-time location, such as its name and description, and click “Save”. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When creating a one-time location, make sure to enter a unique name and description so that it can be easily identified. It is also important to assign the correct storage type and storage bin type to the one-time location so that it can be used for the intended purpose.
