The key takeaways are that wave management is used to group warehouse tasks like order picking and replenishment to improve efficiency. Waves can be automatically or manually generated based on defined rules, conditions, capacity profiles, and templates.

The different types of waves are defined by wave types and wave categories. Wave types define the characteristics and behaviors of waves while wave categories are used as filters for warehouse order creation rules.

Condition tables are used to determine the combination of fields for condition records. Condition records are used to determine which wave template is assigned based on the fields and their values.

Wave templates serve as the infrastructure for automatic wave assignment . They enable the same wave attributes to be reused
for different warehouse request itemsthat comply with the same conditions.You can also use wave templates to manually create
waves, or, in the case of automatic wave assignment, to assign items or split items from the warehouse requests to existing
waves that are based on the wave templates.
