C_S4EWM Extended Warehouse Management Practice Question
A company is implementing SAP EWM and needs to manage stock at the storage bin level. They want to ensure that the system can handle mixed storage of different batches in the same bin. Which of the following settings must be configured to allow mixed storage of batches in a storage bin?
⚠ Common exam trap
The trap here is assuming that setting only one level (either storage type or bin) is sufficient, when both must be configured to allow mixed storage.
Answer choices
Why each option matters
Answer the question above first, then reveal the full breakdown to understand why each option is right or wrong.
Correct answer & explanation
✓
Set the storage bin to allow mixed storage and ensure the storage type allows mixed storage of batches.
Mixed storage of batches in a bin requires that both the storage type and the storage bin are configured to allow mixed storage. The storage type setting acts as a default, but the bin must also be set to permit mixing. This dual configuration ensures flexibility and control over where mixed batches can be stored.
Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✗
Set the warehouse number to allow mixed storage of batches; no other settings are needed.
Why it's wrong here
This is incorrect because mixed storage is not controlled at the warehouse number level. It is controlled at the storage type and storage bin levels. The warehouse number is an organizational unit, but mixed storage settings are more granular. Configuring only the warehouse number would not enable mixed batches in a bin.
- ✗
Set the storage type to allow mixed storage of batches only; the bin setting is irrelevant.
Why it's wrong here
This is incorrect because the bin itself also has a mixed storage indicator. If the bin is set to not allow mixed storage, the system will prevent mixing even if the storage type allows it. Both levels must be configured consistently. The bin setting controls the actual physical bin, while the storage type setting is a default for bins.
- ✗
Set the storage bin to allow mixed storage of batches only; the storage type setting is irrelevant.
Why it's wrong here
This is incorrect because the storage type also has a mixed storage indicator that controls whether bins in that storage type can allow mixed storage. If the storage type does not allow mixed storage, the bin cannot override it. The storage type setting is a prerequisite. Therefore, both must be set appropriately.
- ✓
Set the storage bin to allow mixed storage and ensure the storage type allows mixed storage of batches.
Why this is correct
To allow mixed batches in a bin, both the storage bin and the storage type must permit mixed storage. The storage type has a mixed storage indicator that must allow batches. The bin also has a mixed storage indicator that must be set accordingly. This ensures the system allows multiple batches in the same bin without blocking.
