Strategy: Fixed Storage Bin 

Use

You apply this strategy if you want to put away a product in fixed storage bins in a storage type. You use this strategy primarily in storage types from which picking is done manually. You assign fixed storage bins manually.

If you want to put away a product without fixed bin assignment in a storage type for which you have defined the strategy “Fixed Storage Bin”, the system determines a suitable storage bin and assigns it to the product as a fixed storage bin.

The following figure is an example of a fixed bin assignment. In this example, warehouse 0001 has several fixed storage bins: FIX-AA, FIX-BB, and FIX-DD. Multiple fixed storage bins can be available for a product, for example, FIX-1-BB and FIX-2-BB for product BB.
