  Key Concepts: 
  Pick strategy is a feature of SAP's Supply Chain Management (SCM) Master Data module. It is used to determine the order in which materials are picked from a warehouse. The pick strategy can be based on various criteria, such as the most efficient route, the most cost-effective route, or the fastest route. 
  
  How to use it: 
  To use the pick strategy feature, you must first define the criteria for picking materials. This can be done by setting up a pick strategy in the SCM Master Data module. Once the criteria have been set, the system will automatically select the most efficient route for picking materials from the warehouse. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When setting up a pick strategy, it is important to consider all of the criteria that will affect the picking process. For example, if you are picking materials from multiple warehouses, you should consider factors such as distance and cost when determining which warehouse to pick from first. Additionally, it is important to consider any special requirements that may affect the picking process, such as hazardous materials or temperature-sensitive items.
