• Key Concepts: 
  A Supply Chain Unit (SCU) is a unit of measure used in SAP Extended Warehouse Management (EWM) to define the quantity of goods that are handled in a warehouse. It is used to define the size of a warehouse order, the size of a delivery, and the size of a stock transfer. The SCU is also used to define the size of a storage unit, which is the smallest unit of measure that can be stored in a warehouse. 
  
  How to use it: 
  The SCU is used to define the size of an order, delivery, or stock transfer. For example, if an order contains 10 items, each item would be assigned an SCU value. The total SCU value for the order would then be 10. Similarly, if a delivery contains 10 items, each item would be assigned an SCU value and the total SCU value for the delivery would be 10. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When creating orders or deliveries in SAP EWM, it is important to ensure that the SCU values are correct. This will ensure that the correct amount of goods are delivered or received. Additionally, it is important to ensure that the SCU values are consistent across all orders and deliveries. 
  
  Related Information: 
  The SCU is closely related to other units of measure such as pallets and boxes. Pallets and boxes are typically used to store goods in a warehouse and can be assigned an SCU value. Additionally, SAP EWM provides tools for managing pallets and boxes in a warehouse.
