Storage type

Storage type is the storage area in the warehouse facility. Warehouse space is divided into smaller areas that can be characterized as storage types. For example, the storage types could be bulk storage, open storage, picking area, shelf storage, high rack storage, and much more. You can create a storage type based on your business requirements. The layout of the warehouse is divided into the storage types, and these definitions of the storage type depend on your business requirements and the material's movements, depending on if the material is fast moving or slow moving.
