• Key Concepts: 
  Storage type is a feature of SAP Warehouse Management (LE-WM) that allows users to define different storage areas within a warehouse. Storage types are used to differentiate between different types of goods, such as hazardous materials, temperature-controlled items, and bulk items. Each storage type has its own set of rules and regulations that must be followed when storing goods in that area. 
  
  How to use it: 
  When creating a storage type in SAP Warehouse Management, users must specify the type of goods that can be stored in the area, the size of the area, and any special requirements for storing goods in that area. Once the storage type is created, users can assign it to a specific warehouse or storage bin. This will ensure that only the specified goods can be stored in that area. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When creating a storage type, it is important to consider the size of the area and any special requirements for storing goods in that area. For example, if hazardous materials are being stored in an area, additional safety measures may need to be taken. Additionally, it is important to ensure that all goods are properly labeled and stored according to their storage type.
