Activity Area 
Definition
Logical section of the warehouse that groups storage bins based on defined warehouse activities.
Examples of activity areas include:
● Putaway
● Picking
Use
You use activity areas to provide logical subdivisions in your warehouse. In these activity areas, different warehouse workers execute certain warehouse activities, such as putaway or picking.
You create activity-dependent bin sortings within an activity area. Extended Warehouse Management (EWM) uses these bin sortings to optimize the execution of warehouse tasks.
Structure
An activity area consists of one or more assigned storage bins.
You can define the assigned storage bins using the following attributes:
● Aisle
● Stack
● Level
● Bin subdivision
● Depth
● Information about the storage type
● Any assigned deconsolidation groups
You can sort these storage bins into any sequence you want, and assign as many activities to them as you require.
For more information, see the Implementation Guide (IMG) for Extended Warehouse Management under Master Data ® Activity Areas ® Assign Storage Bins to Activity Areas and Define Sort Sequence for Activity Area.
To be able to work with activity areas, you have to generate the bin sorting.
On the SAP Easy Access screen, choose Extended Warehouse Management ® Master Data ® Storage Bin ® Sort Storage Bins.
You can generate activity areas from storage types in Customizing. For more information, see the IMG for EWM under Master Data ® Activity Area ® Generate Activity Area from Storage Type. In this case, the activity area has the same storage bins as the storage type.
Integration
EWM generates warehouse orders for each activity area.
When EWM generates warehouse tasks, it considers the activity area and copies attributes from this activity area, such as the deconsolidation group.
