  Key Concepts: 
  Packing mode is a feature of SAP Extended Warehouse Management (EWM) that allows users to define the way goods are packed into containers. It enables users to define the packing rules for each product, such as the number of items per container, the type of container, and the order in which items are packed. This helps to ensure that goods are packed efficiently and safely.
  
  How to use it: 
  To use packing mode in SAP EWM, users must first define the packing rules for each product. This includes specifying the number of items per container, the type of container, and the order in which items are packed. Once these rules have been defined, users can then use packing mode to automatically pack goods into containers according to these rules.
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When defining packing rules for each product, it is important to consider the size and weight of the items being packed. This will help ensure that goods are packed safely and efficiently. Additionally, it is important to consider any special requirements for certain products, such as temperature control or hazardous materials handling.
