  Key Concepts: 
  A resource drop-off point is a location in an Extended Warehouse Management (EWM) system where resources such as personnel, vehicles, and equipment can be dropped off and picked up. It is used to manage the resources that are needed to complete tasks in the warehouse. 
  
  How to use it: 
  Resource drop-off points are used to manage the resources that are needed to complete tasks in the warehouse. They can be used to assign resources to tasks, track their progress, and ensure that they are returned when the task is completed. They can also be used to track the availability of resources and ensure that they are not overused or underused. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When setting up resource drop-off points, it is important to consider the size of the warehouse and the number of resources that will be needed. It is also important to consider how often the resources will need to be dropped off and picked up, as this will affect how many drop-off points are needed.
