Hello!

Storage type is a storage area and Storage Unit Type is strategies are used in the warehouse process for creating transfer orders.

A storage type is a storage area, warehouse facility, or a warehouse zone that you define in Warehouse Management (WM) for a warehouse number. This is a physical or logical subdivision of a warehouse complex that is characterized by its warehouse technique, the space used, its organizational form, or its function. A storage type generally contains several storage spaces or slots. These are called storage bins in Warehouse Management (WM).

Storage Unit Type is putaway strategy, the system processes different storage unit types (for example, pallets) and allocates them to the appropriate section. Often, one storage bin is divided into several smaller sections. Typically, only the same storage unit types can be placed into a storage bin at one time.
