C_S4EWM Extended Warehouse Management Practice Question
A warehouse is implementing a new putaway strategy that uses storage type search and storage section search. Which TWO of the following statements accurately describe the storage type search in SAP EWM? (Choose two.)
⚠ Common exam trap
The trap here is assuming that the storage type search is limited by storage section or has a fixed maximum number of storage types, when it is actually a flexible sequence defined in customizing.
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
✓
The storage type search sequence is determined by the putaway control indicator in the product master and the storage type search sequence defined in customizing.
The storage type search uses the putaway control indicator to determine a search sequence of storage types. This indicator can come from the product master or be overridden by the warehouse process type. The search sequence is defined in customizing and can include multiple storage types. The storage section search follows to determine the appropriate section within the chosen storage type, and then the bin search selects the specific bin.
Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✗
The storage type search can only consider storage types that have the same storage section as the product's storage section indicator.
Why it's wrong here
The storage type search is not limited to storage types with the same storage section. It searches across storage types according to the search sequence. The storage section search is a separate step that refines the bin selection within a storage type. The storage type search can include storage types with various storage sections, depending on the sequence.
- ✓
The storage type search sequence is determined by the putaway control indicator in the product master and the storage type search sequence defined in customizing.
Why this is correct
The storage type search uses the putaway control indicator from the product master or the warehouse process type to determine the search sequence. The search sequence is defined in customizing and consists of a list of storage types to be checked in order. This allows flexible determination of the destination storage type based on product and process parameters.
- ✗
The storage type search is performed before the storage section search, and the storage section search then selects the specific storage bin.
Why it's wrong here
The storage type search determines the storage type, and then the storage section search determines the storage section within that storage type. Finally, the bin search selects the specific bin. The order is storage type search, then storage section search, then bin search. This option incorrectly states that storage section search selects the bin; it actually narrows down the section, and then bin search selects the bin.
- ✗
The storage type search sequence can be defined with a maximum of 10 storage types.
Why it's wrong here
There is no fixed maximum of 10 storage types in a search sequence. The number of storage types in a search sequence is configurable and can be more or less than 10. The limit depends on the system and customizing, but it is not a standard restriction. This statement is incorrect.
- ✓
The storage type search can be influenced by the warehouse process type, which can override the putaway control indicator.
Why this is correct
The warehouse process type can contain a putaway control indicator that overrides the one in the product master. This allows the same product to be put away differently depending on the process. The storage type search then uses this indicator to determine the search sequence, providing flexibility in putaway strategies.
