A staging area is an interim storage area for goods that have been received from goods receipt and afterwards need to be transferred into the warehouse.

You can assign different functions to a staging area:

Or you can assign functions such as cross-docking and flow-through to the staging area. You can also assign a door to a staging area as a default value. This value is added as the staging area in the delivery document, if the "Door and staging area search" do not have a different entry.
