Storage Place Categories
The storage place category is used to specify the type of storage place. In addition, properties such as height, width, depth, volume and weight can be specified for the respective category. These are required for storage place selection. The max. capacity of inventory is specified in the no. of storage places field.
Changes to a category (e.g. no. of places, height, width, depth, volume) are automatically passed on to all storage places that use this category. A manual storage place update is not required.

- Storage without storage unit: When this field is activated on a category, it is automatically transferred when the category is assigned to a storage place. See SWMS Storage Place Card for details.
- Storing various inventories not allowed: When this field is activated on a category, it is automatically transferred when the category is assigned to a storage place. Set automatically when Storage without storage unit is active.
- Unlimited Capacity: If this flag is activated, a storage place with this category will never be marked with the occupancy "Full", regardless of the entered no. of places. The storage place update will not be performed for these places. A typical use case is function places such as warehouse receipt locations, which should never be considered "full". The storage place selection from the strategies continues to work.
Hinweis
If the No. of Places of a category is reduced, the system checks whether storage places with this category already have more places occupied than the new No. of Ülaces allows. In this case, a warning message appears. The change can still be made, however you should check the affected storage places afterwards.
