C_S4EWM Practice Test 9 — 10 Questions

Question 1

You are configuring a physical inventory process in SAP S/4HANA EWM. Which TWO of the following statements accurately describe the physical inventory process in EWM? (Choose two.)

Accepted Answer

Physical inventory can be performed at the storage bin level.. Physical inventory in EWM can be performed at the storage bin level and for handling units. These two statements are accurate. Physical inventory documents are created for specific bins or HUs, not just based on warehouse number. It is not required to count all bins at once, and results are posted to EWM stock, not directly to the material master.

Answer

Physical inventory documents are created based on the warehouse number.

Answer

Physical inventory must be performed for all storage bins at the same time.

Answer

Physical inventory results are posted directly to the material master in SAP S/4HANA.

Question 2

A consultant is explaining the concept of a storage type search sequence to a client. The client wants to know what the sequence actually controls during putaway. Which of the following best describes the purpose of the storage type search sequence?

Accepted Answer

It defines the order in which storage types are searched to find a suitable storage bin for a product during putaway.. The storage type search sequence defines the order in which storage types are searched to find a suitable storage bin during putaway. It is determined by the Putaway Control Indicator and can include storage sections and bin types. It is a fundamental configuration for directing products to the correct storage areas.

Answer

It specifies the picking strategy for outbound deliveries, such as FIFO or LIFO.

Answer

It controls the number of warehouse orders that can be created simultaneously.

Answer

It determines the physical layout of the warehouse, including aisle widths and bin sizes.

Question 3

A warehouse uses a two-step picking process where picked quantities are first staged in a picking area and then consolidated to the destination bin. After picking, the system created a pick HU and posted the stock into it. A warehouse operator now needs to move the pick HU from the picking area to the consolidation bin. Which EWM action is required to trigger this movement?

Accepted Answer

Create a warehouse task for the pick HU to the consolidation bin.. In two-step picking, the first step picks goods into a pick HU, and the second step moves that pick HU to a consolidation bin. This second movement requires a warehouse task to transfer the HU, which updates the HU's location and triggers any necessary putaway or consolidation logic. Without this task, the HU remains in the picking area and cannot be further processed.

Answer

Post a goods issue for the pick HU.

Answer

Run the Warehouse Process Type for internal movement.

Answer

Change the pick HU to a storage bin of type 'Consolidation'.

Question 4

A warehouse manager needs to track the real-time movement of a specific handling unit (HU) as it is unloaded from a truck and moved to an interim storage area. Which SAP EWM feature provides this visibility without manual data entry?

Accepted Answer

RFID technology integrated with EWM. RFID technology integrated with SAP EWM automatically captures handling unit movements as they occur, updating the system in real time. Unlike monitoring or configuration tools, RFID directly tracks physical objects without manual scanning. This makes it the correct choice for gaining visibility of an HU from unloading through to interim storage, ensuring accurate and timely data for warehouse operations.

Answer

Warehouse Process Type (WPT)

Answer

Warehouse Management Monitor (WMM)

Answer

Labor Management

Question 5

Your company wants to implement a cross-docking process in SAP EWM where inbound goods are directly transferred to outbound without putaway. You need to ensure that the system automatically identifies and assigns the inbound delivery to an outbound delivery based on matching criteria. Which EWM feature should you use?

Accepted Answer

Cross-docking with delivery assignment. Cross-docking with delivery assignment in SAP EWM uses a cross-docking profile to define matching criteria. When an inbound delivery is created, the system searches for outbound deliveries that match the criteria and automatically assigns them. This creates cross-docking tasks that move goods directly from inbound to outbound staging areas without putaway. This feature is essential for efficient cross-docking operations.

Answer

Transportation unit (TU) matching

Answer

Warehouse order creation

Answer

Yard management

Question 6

A company wants to use a conveyor system to automatically transport goods from the goods receipt area to the putaway bins. Which EWM feature must be configured to enable this automated material flow?

Accepted Answer

Material Flow System (MFS). The Material Flow System (MFS) is the EWM component that interfaces with automated warehouse equipment. By configuring MFS, you enable EWM to send and receive signals to and from conveyor systems, thereby automating the physical movement of goods.

Answer

Storage Control

Answer

Warehouse Process Type

Answer

Warehouse Order

Question 7

A warehouse uses a fixed bin replenishment strategy for fast-moving items. The replenishment controller runs and creates replenishment warehouse tasks, but the tasks are not being confirmed because the destination storage bin is blocked for putaway due to an open inventory count. What is the most appropriate action to resolve this?

Accepted Answer

Release the blocked storage bin by completing or canceling the inventory count document.. The storage bin is blocked for putaway because an inventory count is open. Until that count is completed or canceled, the system prevents any putaway into that bin, including replenishment. The correct resolution is to finish the inventory count process, which releases the block and allows the replenishment tasks to be confirmed.

Answer

Change the replenishment strategy to a random bin replenishment to bypass the blocked bin.

Answer

Increase the replenishment threshold so that the tasks are not generated until the bin is unblocked.

Answer

Manually confirm the replenishment warehouse tasks using transaction /SCWM/TO_CONF despite the block.

Question 8

A company wants to implement a putaway strategy where the system searches for the next empty storage bin in a predefined sequence within a storage section. The sequence is determined by the sort sequence of the storage bins. Which putaway strategy should be configured to achieve this?

Accepted Answer

Empty Storage Bin. The 'Empty Storage Bin' putaway strategy is designed to find the next empty bin based on the sort sequence of storage bins. It ignores existing stock and simply selects the first empty bin in the defined order. Other strategies either consider existing stock, use fixed bins, or rely on broader search sequences, making them unsuitable for this specific requirement.

Answer

Addition to Stock

Answer

Near Fixed Bin

Answer

General Putaway

Question 9

A warehouse planner wants to group outbound delivery orders into waves based on the same ship-to party and carrier. Which Wave Template configuration element controls this grouping?

Accepted Answer

Grouping Characteristic. Grouping Characteristic is the wave template element that splits deliveries into separate waves based on the value of a chosen field, such as ship-to party or carrier. When the characteristic is set, each unique value produces its own wave. This matches the planner's need to group outbound delivery orders by the same ship-to party and carrier, enabling more efficient picking and staging.

Answer

Wave Assignment Rule

Answer

Wave Filter

Answer

Wave Release Sequence

Question 10

A warehouse manager notices that during putaway, the system is proposing storage bins that are already occupied by other handling units, even though the bins have free capacity. Which configuration setting in the storage type is most likely responsible for allowing mixed storage of different handling units in the same bin?

Accepted Answer

Mixed storage indicator. The mixed storage indicator in the storage type configuration defines whether different handling units or products can be stored together in one bin. When it is set to allow mixed storage, the system can propose a bin that already contains other handling units, as long as capacity is sufficient. This setting directly causes the observed behavior, while the other options relate to different aspects of storage type configuration.

Answer

Putaway control indicator

Answer

Capacity check indicator
