Hi Siva,

Its purely depends on the flow of goods into your warehouse and the business process which your company is following.

If you are having a very small warehouse with a very small quantities of materials, you don't need random bins, instead you can have a fixed bin by material.

The disadvantage is....in future, if you are getting huge quantities of materials in your warehouse, it is not possible to create new fixed bin again for the same material, because SAP supports only one fixed storage bin.

In case of random bin, irrespective of the quantity or the new materials, you can go on in crease the no. of bins in the same storage type.

Hope it helps you.
