The storage group is a grouping of storage bins within a storage type that is used to determine intermediate storage bins.
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.
The storage group consists of a four-character identifier that you assign to a warehouse number and a storage type.
EWM uses storage groups in layout-oriented storage control and in the material flow system.
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.
