• Key Concepts: 
  A transit handling unit (THU) is a type of handling unit used in SAP Extended Warehouse Management (EWM) to manage the movement of goods from one location to another. It is used to track the movement of goods from the source location to the destination location, and can be used for both inbound and outbound shipments. The THU is also used to track the status of the shipment, such as whether it has been received or shipped. 
  
  How to use it: 
  The THU is created in EWM when a shipment is created. The THU contains information about the shipment, such as the source and destination locations, the type of goods being shipped, and any special instructions for handling the shipment. The THU can then be used to track the status of the shipment throughout its journey. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When creating a THU, it is important to ensure that all relevant information is included. This includes the source and destination locations, as well as any special instructions for handling the shipment. Additionally, it is important to ensure that all relevant documents are attached to the THU, such as packing lists or invoices. 
  
  Related Information: 
  The THU is closely related to other types of handling units in EWM, such as storage units and transfer orders. Storage units are used to store goods in a warehouse, while transfer orders are used to move goods between locations. Additionally, THUs can be linked to other documents in EWM, such as delivery notes or invoices.
