• Key Concepts: 
  A wave template is a feature of SAP Extended Warehouse Management (SCM-EWM) that allows users to define and manage the picking process for goods in a warehouse. It is used to create a “wave” of orders that are grouped together and picked at the same time. The wave template defines the criteria for grouping orders, such as order type, priority, and delivery date. 
  
  How to use it: 
  To use the wave template, users must first define the criteria for grouping orders. This includes selecting the order types, priorities, and delivery dates that should be included in the wave. Once the criteria have been defined, users can create a wave template and assign it to an order. The wave template will then be used to group orders together for picking. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When creating a wave template, it is important to consider how orders should be grouped together. For example, orders with similar delivery dates should be grouped together in order to maximize efficiency. Additionally, it is important to consider the order type and priority when creating a wave template in order to ensure that orders are picked in the correct order.
