some ideas : morphology is the study of structures and forms

so purchasing requirements are grouped together in "families" or categories according to shape and structure criteria, or so it says.

maybe you could just say "According to type and category" ???
I hardly think the term "morphological" would work in English.
I feel the most important thing is that storage is not according to manufactured but according to generic type

some more ideas

As has already been said above, 'famille morphologique' basically means a family of things which have the same basic 'root', although they may vary in shape and structure. So, the 'root' might be 'hat', and the items would all be different types of hats - deerstalkers, bowlers, etc, but all belonging to the same family. A very fancy way of saying something quite basic: 'category' or 'family'.

by package size / carton size

Goods being transported are sorted by size to make them easier to pack into lorries etc?
