A method for storing multiple storage objects (4, 4a, 4b) of different storage-object types in a storage rack (3a, 3b), which comprises uprights, rack levels located on top of one another and a plurality of storage regions (B, B1..B3), wherein the storage regions (B, B1..B3) are respectively arranged between two uprights spaced apart from each other in a longitudinal direction (x) of the storage rack (3a, 3b), wherein a storage of the storage objects (4, 4a, 4b) is controlled by a warehouse management system, to which an electronic memory is allocated, and wherein the method comprises the following steps: a) assigning multiple storage region segmentations (S1..S6) to a storage region (B, B1..B3) of the storage regions (B, B1..B3) in the electronic memory for the plurality of storage regions (B, B1..B3), wherein the storage region segmentations (S1..S6) respectively comprise a plurality of virtual receiving locations (P', P1'..P5') for the storage objects (4, 4a, 4b) and specify a possible arrangement of the storage-object types inside said storage region (B, B1..B3), b) acquiring the storage-object type of a storage object to be stored (4, 4a, 4b), c) selecting a virtual receiving location (P', P1'..P5') for the storage-object type of the storage object (4, 4a, 4b) to be stored in the plurality of storage region segmentations (S1..S6) by means of the warehouse management system, wherein the virtual receiving location (P', P1'..P5') enables the storage of the storage-object type of said storage object (4, 4a, 4b), wherein the virtual receiving location (P', P1'..P5') is selected according to the criterion of priority of rear virtual receiving locations (P', P1'..P5'), in case of multiple virtual receiving locations (P', P1'..P5') located one behind another, d) storing the storage object (4, 4a, 4b) on a physical receiving location (P, P1..P5) of the storage region (B, B1..B3) which is assigned to the selected virtual receiving location (P', P1'..P5') by means of a storage and retrieval unit displaceable in the longitudinal direction (x) of the storage rack (3a, 3b), e) changing a status of the virtual receiving location (P', P1'..P5') in the electronic memory, which specifies whether the assigned physical receiving location (P, P1..P5) is occupied by a storage object (4, 4a, 4b), from unoccupied to occupied, f) limiting the virtual receiving locations (P', P1'..P5') in the storage region segmentations (S1..S6) assigned to the storage region (B, B1..B3) to virtual receiving locations (P', P1'..P5') which enable the storage of another storage object (4, 4a, 4b) on a physical receiving location (P, P1..P5), in the electronic memory, and g) repeating the steps b) to f). a) assigning multiple storage region segmentations (S1..S6) to a storage region (B, B1..B3) of the storage regions (B, B1..B3) in the electronic memory for the plurality of storage regions (B, B1..B3), wherein the storage region segmentations (S1..S6) respectively comprise a plurality of virtual receiving locations (P', P1'..P5') for the storage objects (4, 4a, 4b) and specify a possible arrangement of the storage-object types inside said storage region (B, B1..B3), b) acquiring the storage-object type of a storage object to be stored (4, 4a, 4b), c) selecting a virtual receiving location (P', P1'..P5') for the storage-object type of the storage object (4, 4a, 4b) to be stored in the plurality of storage region segmentations (S1..S6) by means of the warehouse management system, wherein the virtual receiving location (P', P1'..P5') enables the storage of the storage-object type of said storage object (4, 4a, 4b), wherein the virtual receiving location (P', P1'..P5') is selected according to the criterion of priority of rear virtual receiving locations (P', P1'..P5'), in case of multiple virtual receiving locations (P', P1'..P5') located one behind another, d) storing the storage object (4, 4a, 4b) on a physical receiving location (P, P1..P5) of the storage region (B, B1..B3) which is assigned to the selected virtual receiving location (P', P1'..P5') by means of a storage and retrieval unit displaceable in the longitudinal direction (x) of the storage rack (3a, 3b), e) changing a status of the virtual receiving location (P', P1'..P5') in the electronic memory, which specifies whether the assigned physical receiving location (P, P1..P5) is occupied by a storage object (4, 4a, 4b), from unoccupied to occupied, f) limiting the virtual receiving locations (P', P1'..P5') in the storage region segmentations (S1..S6) assigned to the storage region (B, B1..B3) to virtual receiving locations (P', P1'..P5') which enable the storage of another storage object (4, 4a, 4b) on a physical receiving location (P, P1..P5), in the electronic memory, and g) repeating the steps b) to f).
