• Key Concepts: 
  Screening area is a feature of SAP Extended Warehouse Management (EWM) that allows users to define and manage areas in the warehouse where goods are screened for quality control. It is used to ensure that only goods that meet the required quality standards are accepted and stored in the warehouse. The screening area also helps to identify any defective goods and take appropriate action. 
  
  How to use it: 
  To use the screening area feature, users must first define the screening area in the warehouse. This can be done by creating a new area or by assigning an existing area as a screening area. Once the screening area has been defined, users can then assign goods to be screened in this area. The goods will then be checked for quality and any defects will be identified and reported. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When defining a screening area, it is important to ensure that it is located in an easily accessible part of the warehouse. This will make it easier for staff to access the goods that need to be screened and will also help to reduce any delays in the process. Additionally, it is important to ensure that all staff members who are responsible for screening goods are properly trained and have access to the necessary tools and equipment.
