  Key Concepts: 
  Transfer movement type is a feature of SAP Extended Warehouse Management (EWM) that allows users to define the type of transfer movement that is used for goods movements between different storage bins. It is used to control the flow of goods and materials within a warehouse. 
  
  How to use it: 
  Transfer movement types are used to define the type of transfer movement that is used for goods movements between different storage bins. This includes defining the source and destination of the goods, as well as the type of transfer movement (e.g. pick, putaway, etc.). The transfer movement type also defines the rules and restrictions that apply to the goods movement, such as whether it is allowed to be split or combined with other goods movements. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When setting up transfer movement types, it is important to consider the different types of goods movements that will be taking place in the warehouse. This will help ensure that the correct transfer movement type is selected for each goods movement. Additionally, it is important to consider any restrictions or rules that may apply to certain types of goods movements, such as whether they can be split or combined with other goods movements.
