C_S4EWM Practice Test 8 — 10 Questions

Question 1

During putaway, a warehouse worker needs to know which storage bin to place a product into. The system should determine the bin based on the product's dimensions and the available space. Which SAP EWM feature is used to define these storage bin determination rules?

Choose an answer to begin — your selection is scored in the full session.

Accepted Answer

Putaway Strategy. Putaway strategies in SAP EWM encapsulate the logic for selecting a destination storage bin within a storage type. They evaluate criteria like product dimensions and bin capacity to find the best fit. While storage type search sequences and process types are part of the putaway flow, the specific bin determination rules are configured in the putaway strategy, making it the correct answer.

Answer

Warehouse Process Type

Answer

Storage Bin Master Data

Answer

Storage Type Search Sequence

Question 2

A warehouse manager wants to use a layout-oriented storage control to optimize putaway and picking. They define a layout with multiple aisles and assign storage bins to aisles. During putaway, the system should determine the storage bin based on the layout. Which of the following must be configured to enable layout-oriented storage control?

Accepted Answer

The storage type must have the 'Layout-Oriented Storage Control' indicator set, and the storage bins must have aisle assignments.. Layout-oriented storage control requires the storage type to be flagged for it and storage bins to be assigned to aisles. This enables the system to group bins by aisle and optimize the travel path during putaway and picking. The indicator is set on the storage type, not on the warehouse process type or storage section. Aisle assignments are mandatory for the system to know which bins belong to which aisle.

Answer

The storage type must be assigned to a layout, and the layout must be assigned to a storage section.

Answer

The warehouse process type must have the 'Layout-Oriented Storage Control' indicator set, and the storage bins must have aisle assignments.

Answer

The storage type must be assigned to a layout and the layout must be assigned to a warehouse process type.

Question 3

A warehouse uses SAP EWM with embedded EWM in SAP S/4HANA. The logistics manager wants to trigger an automatic creation of a warehouse task for a production material staging process based on a production order. Which object must be configured to enable the automatic creation of warehouse tasks for staging?

Accepted Answer

Control Cycle. The control cycle is the key configuration that enables automatic staging warehouse task creation for production. It defines the staging strategy and links the production order to EWM's warehouse task creation logic. When a production order is created or released, the control cycle determines the staging method and triggers the corresponding warehouse tasks.

Answer

Production Order

Answer

Production Supply Area (PSA)

Answer

Warehouse Process Type

Question 4

A warehouse is implementing SAP EWM and needs to configure the system to handle serialized materials. The warehouse manager must ensure that serial numbers are captured during inbound and outbound processes, and that they can be tracked throughout the warehouse. Which TWO of the following statements accurately describe the use of serial numbers in SAP EWM? (Choose two.)

Accepted Answer

Serial numbers can be used to track the exact location of a material in the warehouse.. The two correct statements are that serial numbers can be assigned automatically during goods receipt based on a number range, and that they can be used to track the exact location of a material in the warehouse. These capabilities enhance efficiency and traceability. Automatic assignment reduces manual effort, while location tracking supports inventory accuracy and recall processes. The other statements are incorrect because serial numbers are not mandatory for all materials, can be entered at multiple stages, and profiles are material-specific.

Answer

Serial number profiles are defined at the warehouse level and apply to all storage types.

Answer

Serial numbers are mandatory for all materials in EWM.

Answer

Serial numbers can only be entered manually during outbound delivery creation.

Question 5

You are implementing a new putaway strategy in your SAP S/4HANA EWM warehouse. The business requires that during putaway, the system automatically determines the destination storage bin based on the storage section and the quantity of the product. Which of the following putaway strategies should you use to achieve this?

Accepted Answer

Putaway with Quantity Check. The Putaway with Quantity Check strategy is designed to determine the destination storage bin by evaluating the storage section and the quantity of the product. It ensures that the selected bin has sufficient capacity and is located in the correct storage section. This strategy is ideal when the business requires automatic bin determination based on quantity and storage section, as it prevents overfilling and optimizes space utilization.

Answer

General Putaway

Answer

Putaway with Storage Unit Type Check

Answer

Addition to Existing Stock

Question 6

During a physical inventory count in a high-rack storage area, the counter records a discrepancy for a product. The warehouse manager needs to adjust the book quantity to match the counted quantity. Which EWM transaction should be used to enter the count results and initiate the difference analysis?

Accepted Answer

Enter Count Results (/SCWM/INV_COUNT). After a physical inventory count, the counted quantities must be entered into the system to compare with book quantities. The Enter Count Results transaction is designed for this purpose. It captures the actual counts, calculates differences, and triggers further processing such as difference analysis and adjustment postings. The other options are either for creating the document, posting differences after they are known, or simply displaying information, and thus do not support entering count results.

Answer

Display Physical Inventory Overview (/SCWM/INV_OVERVIEW)

Answer

Post Differences (/SCWM/INV_DIFF)

Answer

Create Physical Inventory Document (/SCWM/INV_CREATE)

Question 7

You are setting up a new warehouse in SAP EWM and need to define the physical areas where work is performed, such as picking, packing, and staging. These areas group storage bins and are used for activity-based warehouse order creation. Which master data object must you create to represent these physical areas?

Accepted Answer

Activity Area. Activity areas are master data objects that represent physical work areas in the warehouse, such as picking, packing, or staging. They group storage bins and are used for activity-based warehouse order creation, enabling efficient task grouping and resource utilization. Creating activity areas is essential when setting up a new warehouse to reflect the physical layout and work organization.

Answer

Storage Type

Answer

Storage Section

Answer

Warehouse Process Type

Question 8

You are configuring a putaway process in SAP EWM. The business requires that during putaway, the system first attempts to place the product into an existing storage bin that already contains the same product, and only if that is not possible, it should use an empty bin. Which putaway strategy should you configure?

Accepted Answer

Addition to Existing Stock. The 'Addition to Existing Stock' strategy is designed to first look for bins that already contain the product and have capacity. Only if no such bin is found does the system proceed to other strategies like empty bin. This aligns with the business requirement to consolidate stock before using empty bins, optimizing space and reducing fragmentation.

Answer

Near Picking Bin

Answer

Fixed Bin

Answer

Empty Bin

Question 9

A warehouse manager needs to handle returns from customers. The returned goods arrive at the warehouse and must be inspected before being put back into stock. In SAP EWM, which document type is specifically designed to manage the return process, including inspection and subsequent putaway or scrap?

Accepted Answer

Returns Delivery. The returns delivery is the correct document for managing customer returns in SAP EWM. It enables the warehouse to receive returned goods, inspect them, and then determine the appropriate follow-up action such as putaway, scrap, or return to vendor. This process ensures that returned items are properly accounted for and handled according to quality and disposition rules.

Answer

Stock Transport Order

Answer

Inbound Delivery

Answer

Outbound Delivery

Question 10

Which TWO of the following statements accurately describe the use of the 'Storage Type Search Sequence' in SAP EWM? (Choose two.)

Accepted Answer

It determines the sequence of storage types to be searched during putaway or stock removal.. The storage type search sequence determines the order of storage types to search during putaway or stock removal and can be assigned to a warehouse process type to control the search. It does not create tasks, is not exclusive to outbound, and does not directly assign bins. These two statements correctly describe its purpose and assignment.

Answer

It automatically creates warehouse tasks for all storage types in the sequence.

Answer

It overrides the storage bin determination logic and directly assigns a bin.

Answer

It is used exclusively for outbound processes to determine the picking storage type.
