Function documentation Strategy: General Storage Locate the document in its SAP Library structure

Use

The system uses this strategy to find a storage bin in a general storage area. General storage is a type of warehouse organization in which you define a single storage bin per storage section. The quants in the storage bin can also be in the form of mixed storage. For each storage type, you can define one or more general storage areas.

The following figure illustrates general storage. Two general storage areas (bin XXX and bin YYY) are available with mixed storage in storage type 0005. This means that you can put away product F in bin XXX even though product X has already been put away there.
