Hello Eric,

The link below explains a storage type well. Storage Type - SAP Help Portal

Stock type is a complex word but if you try to match it to S/4 stock type and storage location it is easy to understand. Each storage location of an EWM managed warehouse, becomes an availability group in EWM. In ERP we have basically 3 stock types or 4 stock types in S/4. they are Unrestricted, Blocked, Quality and Return (Customer Return) stocks. If you combine a storage location and stock type, it becomes a stock type in EWM.

example:

  • Storage location ROD = 001 availability group.
  • Unrestricted stock in storage location ROD becomes F1
  • Blocked stock in storage location ROD becomes B1
  • Quality stock in storage location ROD becomes Q1
  • Return stock in storage location ROD becomes R1
