Difference Between Storage Type and Storage Bin in SAP WM

Storage Type:

• Defines a specific area within a warehouse where materials can be stored.
• Can have specific properties such as temperature control, hazardous materials storage, etc.
• Used for grouping similar materials together for efficient storage and picking processes.

Storage Bin:

• Represents a specific physical location within a storage type where materials are actually stored.
• Can have a unique identification number for easy tracking of materials.
• Can be further divided into sub-bins for more detailed storage organization.

Overall, while storage types define broader areas for material storage, storage bins represent specific physical locations within those areas.
