• Key Concepts: 
  Storage unit type is a component of the Warehouse Management (LE-WM) module in SAP. It is used to define the physical characteristics of a storage unit, such as its size, weight, and volume. This information is used to determine the capacity of a storage unit and how it can be used in the warehouse. 
  
  How to use it: 
  Storage unit types are created in the SAP system and assigned to each storage unit. This allows the system to track the capacity of each storage unit and determine how it can be used in the warehouse. The storage unit type also determines which processes can be performed on the storage unit, such as picking, packing, and loading. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When creating a storage unit type, it is important to consider the size and weight of the items that will be stored in the storage unit. This will help ensure that the capacity of the storage unit is sufficient for its intended use. Additionally, it is important to consider any special requirements for handling certain items, such as temperature or humidity control.
