To optimize the putaway and picking processes in your warehouse, you can define doors and staging areas in a warehouse number. You can also assign the dock doors to the staging areas as receiving and shipping points. Items can then be picked for a delivery and sent to a particular door for shipping.

You define doors and staging areas using configurable search strategies that help to optimize stock handling procedures for putaways, flow-through warehousing, crossdocking and picking.

You define this organization structure in Customizing under Master Data in the Warehouse Management IMG.
