The items remain counted as part of the store's total stock, but are excluded from the immediately available stock until the storage is unpacked. Temporary storage is sorted by create date, with the most recently at the top. ![](https://cdn.document360.io/5c3fbf4a-b177-42ef-a5c9-ab5c60ca2ba9/Images/Documentation/image-338IKCR7.png) From this overview you can: - View an overview of active and unpacked storages.
