Definition

The storage group is a grouping of storage bins within a storage typethat is used to determine intermediate storage bins.

Use

Extended Warehouse Management ( EWM ) uses the storage group in layout-oriented storage control to determine the intermediate storage bins.

The material flow system also uses layout-oriented storage control and thereby the storage group to define conveyor segments.

Structure

The storage group consists of a four-character identifier that you assign to a warehouse number and a storage type.

Integration

EWM uses storage groups in layout-oriented storage control and in the material flow system.

Example

You group all the storage bins in an aisle into a storage group since you want to take the goods that you remove from this aisle to an interim storage bin at the end of the aisle.
