Relation Stock - Material
The following image shows the relation between material set type and stock type or storage area.
The material set type (e.g. image) determines the storage area description and the stock type of the stock. Because of this, a tape can be in a warehouse, but not in a file server. A file can't be in a warehouse, but there are different tapeless options to choose from.
