• Key Concepts: 
  Time slot capacity is a feature of SAP Extended Warehouse Management (SCM-EWM) that allows users to define the maximum number of goods movements that can be processed within a certain time frame. This feature helps to ensure that the warehouse does not become overloaded with too many goods movements at once, which can lead to delays and other issues. 
  
  How to use it: 
  Time slot capacity can be set up in the EWM system by defining the maximum number of goods movements that can be processed within a certain time frame. This can be done by setting up a “time slot” in the system, which is a period of time during which goods movements are allowed. The maximum number of goods movements that can be processed during this time slot can then be specified. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When setting up time slot capacity, it is important to consider the size and complexity of the warehouse operations. If the warehouse is large and complex, it may be necessary to set up multiple time slots with different capacities in order to ensure that all goods movements are processed efficiently.
