Why do we need Interim Storage Type ? If you say it's acting as an intermediatary buffer location... Then why don't we need any Interim Storage for Bin to Bin stock movement??
Any pointers will be appreciated .

You have answered the for your question number 1.
I am going to answer for your question number 2:
We usually have interim storage bins in interim storage types. But these will disappear after the stock moved from interim bins.
This interim storage type/bin concept is created to map the real business process. Let's talk about the examply GR from supplier. Usually,
Warehouse personnel, unload the stock from truck and keep a place called staging area. This is in SAP called Interim storage area.
At this time, transaction is completed for IM side, Ie the material document is created and MM-WM trigger point TR also created. and depends the SAP config settings, this TR may be converted to as a TO and waiting for the confirmation.
Hope it helps.

Thanks for the reply ...
Did you mean ???
Bin -to-Bin is a mere WM side activity, there is no IM transactions taking place ...Hence Interim Storage Bin is of no use..
So Interim storage bin is essentially sought only when there is a transactions taking place in both IM - WM side ...arising the need of a 9** type open storage area/ GR area in the requirements...
