(Lager)Fach

Warehouse Management System
I'm looking for an idiomatic translation for "Fach" (Lagerfach), used in a warehouse management software. Background: Storage locations in the WMS are sometimes further divided into several "Fächer".
The translation 'bin' should not be used acc. to the customer and 'sub-location' is unfortunately not possible either (already used in another context).
Can anyone suggest a translation other than 'bin' and 'sub-location' which is widely accepted in a logistics context?
Thanks in advance!

storage space/compartment
these are fairly common terms used in warehousing

Example sentence:
This logical address can be either the coordinates (e.g. shelf designation and X-Y coordinate) or the EAN code of the product stored in the warehouse compartment.
Since the rack feeder (a telescoping fork) needs to lift the pallets from their storage spaces, more room is needed for each storage space in comparison with a compact store

: compartment was my first thought, but that usually has some sort of walls around it. Storage space would fit, too.

Comment: "Thanks! Compartment is probably the best term within the software, it's not too long for the buttons and it's specific enough for the users to quickly grasp its function"

Discussion
It depends on the individual customer whether a Fach is an acutal Fach in the warehouse or just a logical unit within the WMS. But I guess both 'divisions' and 'units' would be suitable.
