Hi,
Storage search strategy indicator defines the sequence in which you will search the storage types, and putaway strategy for a certain storage type explains how you do your putaway.
E.g. let's see this on an example.
You have storage searxh indicator STR.
You have fixed bin storage type, you have one bulk storage type and you have one shelf storage type.
First you want to putaway in shelf storage type (002), then in bulk storage type (003), and last in fixed bin ST (001).
You will define:
WHNum => E => STR => 002 => 003 => 001
This only tells us the sequence of storage types, the order in which your putaway strategy tries to place the pallets.
But the explicit strategy defined for a particular storage type tells us how you want to place pallets in that storage type when strategy chooses it for putaway.
