Define Product Group Types
In this IMG activity, you define product group types. You can then assign values to these under Define Product Groups.
Product group types and product groups serve to group products of the same kind. You define a product group type for the criterion with which the product groups are to be formed.
You can assign product group types to a product in the product master on the Properties 2 tab page.
IMG Menu (SAP EWM): SCM Extended Warehouse Management → SCM Basis → Master Data → Product → Product Groups → Define Product Group Types
Define Product Group
In this IMG activity, you define the possible product groups for a product group type.
IMG Menu (SAP EWM): SCM Extended Warehouse Management → SCM Basis → Master Data → Product → Product Groups → Define Product Groups
Maintain Product Group Type for PSA Assignment
This activity is required if the bin assignment to a production supply area (PSA) is not product-specific but product-group-specific. You need to define a product group type in Customizing before you make this assignment.
IMG Menu (SAP EWM): SCM Extended Warehouse Management → Extended Warehouse Management → Master Data → Production Supply → Maintain Product Group Type for PSA Assignment
Maintain Warehouse Parameters for Production
In this Customizing activity, you can define and change the default stock type that the system uses for staging for production in each of your warehouses.
IMG Menu (SAP EWM): SCM Extended Warehouse Management → Extended Warehouse Management → Master Data → Production Supply → Maintain Warehouse Parameters for Production
Resource Managemen
Define Queues
Warehouse Orders and Tasks to be processed within the RF / Mobile Data Entry UIs are assigned to specialized RF Queues. The Queue Naming follows a logic indicating the “Activity” as well as the source and destination activity area/storage type.
IMG Menu (SAP EWM): SCM Extended Warehouse Management → Extended Warehouse Management → Cross-Process Settings → Resource Management → Define Queues
Define Queue Determination Criteria
You define queue determination criteria such as activity area, bin access type, and warehouse process type to assign warehouse orders to different queues.
IMG Menu (SAP EWM): SCM Extended Warehouse Management → Extended Warehouse Management → Cross-Process Settings → Resource Management → Define Queues
Maintain Queue Sequence for Resource Group
Easy Access Menu (SAP EWM): SCM Extended Warehouse Management – Extended Warehouse Management – Master Data – Resource Management – Maintain Queue Sequence For Resource Group

Transaction Code: /SCWM/ACTLOG
BAdI for Single-Order Staging
After implementing the BAdi, system calculates the proposed quantity for single-order staging material with the following logic:
1. Call the standard logic, look up the open required quantity.
2. If the open required quantity is > 0, exactly the open required quantity is proposed for staging.
3. If the open required quantity is <= 0 , the system will propose 0 as staging proposal.
