Pick HU in the Configuration steps for the outbound process in SAP S/4HANA EWM

This blog states the pick HU configuration steps in SAP S/4HANA Extended Warehouse Management

In SAP S/4HANA Extended Warehouse Management (EWM), the "Pick HU" (Handling Unit) process is used to efficiently manage picking by consolidating picked items into HUs (like cartons, pallets, or bins) during the picking operation. This helps streamline outbound processing, especially in high-volume or complex warehouse environments.
