• Key Concepts: 
  Source storage type is a feature of SAP Warehouse Management (LE-WM) that allows users to define the source of goods in a warehouse. This source can be either an external supplier or an internal production process. The source storage type also defines the rules for how goods are stored and handled in the warehouse. 
  
  How to use it: 
  The source storage type is used to define the source of goods in a warehouse. This can be done by assigning a source storage type to each material in the warehouse. The source storage type will then determine how the material is stored and handled in the warehouse. For example, if a material is sourced from an external supplier, it may need to be stored in a different area than if it was sourced from an internal production process. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When assigning a source storage type to a material, it is important to consider how the material will be handled in the warehouse. For example, if a material is sourced from an external supplier, it may need to be stored in a different area than if it was sourced from an internal production process. Additionally, it is important to ensure that the source storage type is consistent across all materials in the warehouse.
