German term or phrase: Lagerspiegel
a "Lagerspiegel" specifies what is stored where in the warehouse and also how much free space is available. I can't find a direct translation for this - the best I can come with at the moment is "warehouse status report", which seems a bit fuzzy. Is there a standard term for this? Any help greatly appreciated.

Locator system. a.k.a. Location system, Bin locations. Locator systems are inventory-tracking systems that allow you to assign locations to your inventory to facilitate greater tracking and the ability to store product randomly. Prior to locator systems, warehouses needed to store product in some logical manner in order to be able to find it (stored in item number sequence, by vendor, by product description, etc.) By using locator systems you can increase space utilization by slotting your product by matching the physical characteristics of the product to a location whose physical characteristics match that of the product. You can also increase productivity by locating fast moving product to closer, more accessible locations, and increase accuracy by separating similar items. Location functionality in software can range from a simple text field attached to an item that notes a single location, to systems that allow multiple locations per item and track inventory quantities by location. Warehouse management systems (WMS) take locator systems to the next level by adding functionality to direct the movement between locations. See article on Warehouse Management Systems, also check out My book on inventory accuracy which covers locator systems in more detail.

Thanks to everyone who had a go. It seems that there isn't a standard term for "Lagerspiegel" after all. I decided to go for warehouse tracking report as it is the most descriptive term.
