Overview
Storage Section contains an organizational subdivision of a Storage Type that groups together Storage Bins with similar features for the purpose of putting away stock. The criteria for grouping bins can be defined on a user-individual basis, for example, heavy parts, bulky materials, fast-moving items, slow-moving items. A storage area consists of one or several Storage Bins. The Storage Section can serve as an organizational aid for putting away goods in the warehouse. If user decides on using storage types and storage sections, he must define his organizational goals. Here the physical location is often a decisive organizational factor. It is not absolutely mandatory that user subdivide a storage type into two or more storage sections. However, user must create at least one storage section for each storage type.
