Storage Bins
The storage bin describes the position in the warehouse where the goods are or can be stored. Since
the address of a storage bin is frequently derived from a coordinate system, a storage bin is often
referred to as a coordinate.
SOC has no standard number of Bin Location ranges inside each shelf. Therefore, after collective
creation of storage bins, SOC will delete the not physically exited storage Bin. Moreover, it is
requested to take in consideration that some of the Storage between mentioned prefixes L, M, X and
Z (i.e. from LA to LH means LA, LB, LC …etc.).
