  • Key Concepts: 
    Sequence strategy is a feature of SAP Extended Warehouse Management (EWM) that allows users to define the order in which warehouse tasks are performed. It is used to optimize the efficiency of warehouse operations by ensuring that tasks are completed in the most efficient order. The sequence strategy can be used to define the order in which goods are picked, packed, and shipped, as well as the order in which warehouse tasks are performed. 
    
    How to use it: 
    The sequence strategy is configured in the EWM system. Users can define the sequence of tasks by creating a sequence strategy template and assigning it to a warehouse task. The sequence strategy template defines the order in which tasks should be performed, as well as any additional parameters that need to be taken into account when performing the task. Once the sequence strategy template has been created, it can be assigned to a warehouse task and used to optimize the efficiency of warehouse operations. 
    
    Tips & Tricks: 
    When creating a sequence strategy template, it is important to consider all of the factors that could affect the efficiency of warehouse operations. This includes factors such as the size and weight of goods, the number of items to be picked or packed, and any other relevant parameters. Additionally, it is important to consider how different tasks may interact with each other when creating a sequence strategy template.
