Storage Types
Group of warehouse bins with similar characteristics
There are different forms where products are physically stored in a warehouse: - various types of racks, any open storages, goods receipt and goods issue areas. - This is represented with storage types as a group of warehouse bins with similar characteristics. Storage types are defined on the basis of their spatial or organizational features.

 A storage section is a subdivision of a storage type and represents a group of bins that generally have some sort of like attribute. Common used storage sections are fast-moving or slow-moving items or the type of stored products. Storage sections are used for determining the putaway storage bin. On lowest level of organizational structure are storage bins. They are assigned to a storage section (if exist) and a storage type and represent the physical location or storage space where the products are stored in the warehouse. Whenever you keep a product in your warehouse, you have to indicate it's exact residence: the storage bin. The coordinates of the storage bin tell you the precise position in the warehouse. Storage bins are considered as master data.

Storage bins - independent of their assignment to a storage type - are logically grouped in activity areas. Per activity, such as picking, putaway or physical inventory, you define an activity area. Activity areas are used do define the bin Sorting. when warehouse orders are created. According the activity , the same storage bin can be assigned to multiple activity areas. If stock is kept on a storage bin, this quantity is represented as a quant. The quant is therefore the content of a storage bin and is used for inventory management of a product in a storage bin.
