Racks are a new construct that help to organise the bin and provide a notion of the physical location of a bins within a warehouse. A Rack logically sits between a Location and a Bin in a basic warehouse scenario and a Zone and a Bin if using directed put-away and pick. Racks are optionally in both cases.
