• Key Concepts: 
  Product freight group is a feature of SAP Extended Warehouse Management (EWM) that allows users to group products together for freight calculations. This feature helps to reduce the complexity of freight calculations by allowing users to assign a single freight rate to a group of products, rather than having to calculate the freight rate for each individual product. 
  
  How to use it: 
  In order to use the product freight group feature, users must first create a product freight group in the EWM system. This can be done by navigating to the “Product Freight Group” tab in the EWM system and entering the necessary information. Once the product freight group has been created, users can assign products to it and set a single freight rate for the entire group. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When creating product freight groups, it is important to consider how products will be grouped together. For example, grouping products by weight or size can help reduce complexity and ensure that the correct freight rate is applied. Additionally, it is important to keep track of which products are assigned to which product freight groups in order to ensure accuracy when calculating freight rates.
