Storage type

In stock, several areas can be specified. The storage type is the storage specified in SAP. The warehouse diagram is divided into Storage Types, and these designated spaces are closely connected to the items that will be kept in the warehouse. Fast-moving materials, bulk pallet storage, rack-mounted storage, slow-moving materials, and exceptional storage are examples. 

The path specified below is used to specify the Storage Type. SPRO-> Logistics Execution-> Warehouse Management-> Main Data-> Define the storage type Since the repository number is the data entered by copying from the standard repository number, all standard repository types will be copied and accessible for the new repository number, as shown below. 

 According to the needs, new storage types can be generated. See the screen below for the new storage type. 

Storage section

An archive type is divided into several sections called an Archives section. Warehouse area for storage containers where materials are stored. Because there is no obligation to split the Storage Type into additional separate sections, many storage types have only one storage section. A storage-type must have at least part of it. Pallet products, bulk goods, quick-moving things, slow-moving items, and so on. The route shown below is being used to define the Storage part. SPRO-> Logistics Execution-> Warehouse Management-> Master Data-> Storage Section 

EWM Physical Warehouse Mapping

 In warehouse management, the warehouse structure is hierarchical and includes the following elements:

• Warehouse identification number
• Storage type: Warehouses or warehouse facilities including warehouse complexes can be defined as storage types based on their geographical, technological, and organizational characteristics
• A single warehouse number can be used to handle a single warehouse in the EWM
• Archives: Each archive type has an archive section. All storage containers have specified general characteristics, such as a fast-moving cargo container near the loading area, corresponding to a storage area
• Storage bins: Each storage section and storage type is made up of a number of storage compartments called a storage bin in the EWM. The size of the storage bin indicates the exact location in the warehouse where items can be stored
• Dosing is used to maintain a product's inventory in storage containers.
• The active area is a logical set of storage containers. It can refer to a particular storage bin or to coupling buckets from a variety of storage types.
• You can manually allocate storage bins to active areas, or let the system generate an order if there is a 1: 1 link between the storage type and the active area.

You define the warehouse structure in the EWM under Customizations to map your physical warehouse structure in the system. When you want to configure the structure of the warehouse in the system. You can use the following procedure. Select Scalable Warehouse Management Dashboard in the EWM Deployment Guide (IMG).

• Create Warehouse Numbers
• Define the Type of Storage
• Specify the Storage Section
• Storage Bin Types are defined by Storage Bins
• Areas of Activity Define the Activity Zone
• Areas of Activity Assign Activity Areas Storage Bins

Organizational Unit Types

A warehouse system has many organizational units at many different levels.

• A number of warehouses: In the warehouse management system, each warehouse has a number of warehouses that are considered the highest level. Each repository number is made up of a structure that represents the repository connection
• Type of storage:There is some form of storage in a warehouse where everything is physically stored, such as open storage, delivery, and delivery
• An archive is a type of storage that represents a group of groups of similar quality. For example, fast or slow-moving cargo often uses different compartments
• Storage bins: Storage bins reflect the actual location of the storage space in the warehouse where items are kept. They are at the bottom of the organizational hierarchy, and when you place an item in the Warehouse, you must provide its specific location
• Active Area: This active area further categorizes the containers. It includes activities like actual picking, storing, and inventory. You can allocate the same storage compartment to multiple zones of activity based on that activity
• Quant: represents the number of things in the storage container. Quantum is applied to manage inventory in storage containers.
