storage type

[Former Member]

Hello Professionals,

Here is a process flow of GR.

1. Goods Receipt : Door --> Staging area -> Storage Type 901 GR Zone -> Storage type 001 consisting of storage section.

May I know why is the Storage type in the storage section different than that in the GR zone ?

Must it always be like that as in from 1 storage type re-assigned to a different storage type?

Or is it that it should be same storage type only?

regards

Pascal

Storage type 901 (and generally storage types 9** in standard system) are INTERIM storage types, they serve as an interface between Inventory Management and Warehouse Management.

Since they are interim (logical) storage types, it's reasonable to place the goods to a "normal" storage type (like storage type "001" in your case). "Normal" storage types, sections, bins correspond (generally) to physical places/locations within your WH.

(in certain cases goods are not moved to "normal" storage type, e.g. in case of cross docking)
