What is non-storable in SAP SCM-IBP-PLA - Planning Framework?

SAP Term: non-storable

• Component: SCM-IBP-PLA

• Component Name: Planning Framework

• Description: Relating to an attribute value of a location product which specifies that no inventory can be held. A location product is a logical object rather than a physical object and as such is non-storable if the product cannot be stored at that location. This means that inventory for a non-storable location product must always be equal to zero. To avoid inventory, any receipts of that product in that location must be transported immediately after arrival to another location. For example, an output product cannot be stored at the production plant where it is made because there is no space to store output products, and so it is shipped to a distribution center right after production.
