enter into storage
There is a world of difference between "storage" and "enter into storage".
Storage = Opslag
Enter into Storage = Inslag

Strictly speaking you would probably want to use "entry into storage"

In that case the "goods are entered into storage". I can't quite grasp what you're looking for here - it is what it is at the end of the day. You can put a pig in a posh suit but it will still grunt!!

I can't see nothing wrong with using the heading "Storage" if the text body goes on to explain the details relating to the "entry into storage", etc, etc. Come to think of it, there's not a lot wrong with "Entry into Storage" as a heading either....

Note from asker:
| I think "entry into storage" as the answer. Note: I am looking for a noun, not a verb here. |
| don't want to be a stickler, but "entered into storage" "goederen worden ingeslagen") is still a verb, just in past tense. "Inslag" is a noun. I need an English noun. The reason I need it is because it is a heading. A heading cannot be a verb. Entry into storage? Doesn't sound great, but I suppose it's as good as it gets. |
| Hat about "intake"? http://www.provida.com.au/inventory-and-warehouse.shtml |
| Sorry for typos, my keyboard is messing with me. |

Yes, it appears to be as "simple" as the word "storage".

Note from asker:
| I agree with Dave. "Storage" is what I would use if "opslag" was not a part of the same text. |
