  • Key Concepts: 
    Storage class is a feature of SAP Warehouse Management (LE-WM) that allows users to define and manage different types of storage bins in a warehouse. Storage classes are used to group similar storage bins together, making it easier to manage and track inventory. Storage classes can be used to define the size, shape, and type of storage bin, as well as the type of material that can be stored in it. 
    
    How to use it: 
    To use storage classes in SAP Warehouse Management, users must first create a storage class in the system. This can be done by entering the relevant information such as the size, shape, and type of storage bin, as well as the type of material that can be stored in it. Once the storage class is created, users can assign it to specific storage bins in the warehouse. This will allow them to easily track and manage inventory in those bins. 
    
    Tips & Tricks: 
    When creating a storage class, it is important to consider how it will be used in the warehouse. For example, if a certain type of material needs to be stored in a specific type of bin, then it is important to create a storage class that reflects this requirement. Additionally, it is important to ensure that all relevant information is entered correctly when creating a storage class, as this will ensure that inventory is tracked accurately.
