storing a plurality of goods of different types of good into a first storage zone using a plurality of loading aids, wherein the loading aids respectively receive the plurality of goods and are respectively configured so as to be different from a hanging bag,
generating a transfer request for rearranging a plurality of transfer goods of a first type of good of the different types of good from the first storage zone into a second storage zone when goods of the first type of good are low in stock in the second storage zone,
reloading the plurality of transfer goods, on the basis of the transfer request, from at least one loading aid of the plurality of loading aids into at least hanging bag, and transporting the at least one hanging bag into the second storage zone,
obtaining a picking order for picking the at least one ordered good and ascertaining the at least one ordered good required for this picking order, and
retrieving the at least one ordered good from the second storage zone and loading the at least one ordered good into or onto the target loading aid on the basis of the picking order,
wherein the transfer request is generated and executed without reference to the picking order.
