Containers are created and managed in warehouses. They have their own unique identifier and description. They are located in rooms and allow the storage of various items. All items within the container share the same Status as the container itself (includes: Available, Auctioned, Disposed, In Repair, etc...).
They are standardized by established Container Types, describing the kinds of containers at the warehouse. Examples of Container Types are:
Pallets
Plastic Bins
Wire Mesh Boxes
Cargo Containers
Metal Pods
