• Key Concepts: 
  Pickup is a process in SAP Extended Warehouse Management (SCM-EWM) that allows goods to be collected from a warehouse and delivered to a customer. It is used when goods are not shipped directly from the warehouse, but instead are picked up by the customer or their representative. The process involves creating a pickup order, which is then used to manage the collection of goods from the warehouse. 
  
  How to use it: 
  To use the pickup process in SAP EWM, first create a pickup order. This can be done in the EWM system by selecting the “Create Pickup Order” option from the menu. Once the order is created, it can be used to manage the collection of goods from the warehouse. The order will contain information about the goods to be collected, such as quantity and location. The order can then be printed and given to the customer or their representative for collection. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When creating a pickup order, it is important to ensure that all relevant information is included. This includes details such as quantity, location, and any special instructions for collecting the goods. It is also important to ensure that all necessary documents are included with the order, such as invoices or packing slips.
