• Key Concepts: 
  Operational simulation is a feature of SAP Extended Warehouse Management (EWM) that allows users to simulate warehouse operations and processes. This feature enables users to test and optimize their warehouse processes before they are implemented in the live system. It also helps users to identify potential problems and bottlenecks in their warehouse operations.
  
  How to use it: 
  To use operational simulation, users must first create a simulation model in the EWM system. This model contains all the necessary information about the warehouse operations, such as the number of resources, the types of resources, and the tasks that need to be performed. Once the model is created, users can then run simulations to test different scenarios and optimize their warehouse operations.
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When creating a simulation model, it is important to ensure that all relevant information is included. This includes the number of resources, types of resources, and tasks that need to be performed. Additionally, it is important to consider how different scenarios may affect the warehouse operations and plan accordingly.
