if your existing stock and storage bin is in a storage type that is not covered by the new storage type search, then it will probably be forgotten forever except you move the stock manually out and place it into another bin where it can be found

Based on storage type indicator, system selects the storage type search strategy and suggest put away and picking. if you are planning to change the indicator then you need to make sure that the new indicator related value are defined into the Storage type search strategy.

e.g. existing Putaway indicator (PI1)

Storage type search strategy(LE--WM---Stragies---Activate storage type search)

E  RI1                 ST1, ST2,ST2

(based on the above entry for operation E and putaway indicator  system will suggest putaway into ST1,ST2,& ST3

now if you will change the value to PI2 then you need to make sure that entry also need to be changed in the above node

E  RI2             ST1, ST2,ST2
