• Key Concepts: 
  Storage groups are used in SAP Extended Warehouse Management (EWM) to group together storage bins that have similar characteristics. This allows for more efficient storage and retrieval of goods in the warehouse. Storage groups can be used to define different types of storage bins, such as those for hazardous materials, or those with specific temperature requirements. 
  
  How to use it: 
  Storage groups can be created in the EWM system by defining the characteristics of the storage bins that should be included in the group. Once a storage group is created, it can be assigned to a warehouse task, such as a goods receipt or goods issue. This will ensure that the goods are stored in the correct storage bin according to the characteristics of the storage group. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When creating a storage group, it is important to consider the characteristics of the goods that will be stored in the warehouse. This will ensure that the correct storage bins are assigned to each task and that goods are stored safely and efficiently.
