Staging Area
Definition
Organizational unit that is assigned hierarchically to the warehouse number and that is used to organize the flow of goods in the
warehouse.
Use
Staging areas are used for the interim storage of goods in the warehouse. They are located in close proximity to the doors assigned
to them. You can define staging areas for different purposes and even simultaneously for multiple purposes:
Goods receipt
Interim storage of unloaded goods until they are put away
Goods issue
Interim storage of picked goods until they are loaded
In Customizing, you define staging areas and assign the staging areas to the relevant doors. For more information, see the
Implementation Guide (IMG) for Extended Warehouse Management (EWM)underMaster Data Staging Areas Define
Staging AreasandMaster Data Warehouse Door Assign Staging Area to Warehouse Door .
Structure
You can group multiple staging areas into staging area groups. The staging area group corresponds to a storage type (storage type
role "D"), while the staging area corresponds to a storage section. You can divide each staging area into one or more storage bins.
You need multiple storage bins, for example, if you want to define a loading sequence.
