Hi,
the first picture shows no bin for the step OB04, so "rulebased" is flagged? And did you set up the staging area / door determination?
And what is the internal process step assigned to OB03 and OB04? In the standard OB03 should be STAG (so this is already for the staging area or what you call GI-Zone, OB04 should be LOAD (or something like that).
In one test I did I actually used layout oriented storage control.
