C_S4EWM Extended Warehouse Management Practice Question
A warehouse is implementing cross-docking to reduce storage costs. They want to ensure that inbound goods are directly transferred to outbound without putaway. Which SAP EWM feature must be configured to determine that a specific inbound delivery is eligible for cross-docking?
⚠ Common exam trap
The trap here is assuming that a storage type or warehouse process type alone can enable cross-docking, when the document-level indicator is the trigger.

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
✓
Cross-Docking Relevance Indicator in the inbound delivery
The Cross-Docking Relevance Indicator on the inbound delivery is the specific feature that marks an inbound delivery as eligible for cross-docking. When set, the system attempts to match the inbound goods with outbound delivery requirements. If a match is found, cross-docking tasks are created to move goods directly from inbound to outbound, avoiding putaway.
Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✗
Outbound Delivery with cross-docking flag
Why it's wrong here
The outbound delivery can have a cross-docking flag, but it is the inbound delivery's cross-docking relevance that initiates the process. The system matches inbound and outbound deliveries based on the indicator. Without the inbound indicator, cross-docking cannot be triggered, so this is not the correct answer.
- ✗
Warehouse Process Type with cross-docking strategy
Why it's wrong here
While the warehouse process type can influence cross-docking by defining a strategy, it is not the primary feature that determines eligibility. The WPT controls the process flow, but the cross-docking relevance must be set at the document level to trigger the cross-docking logic. Therefore, this is not the most direct answer.
- ✗
Storage Type with cross-docking bin
Why it's wrong here
A cross-docking bin is a storage bin designated for cross-docking, but it does not determine eligibility of an inbound delivery. The bin is used as a temporary location, but the decision to cross-dock is based on the cross-docking relevance indicator and matching outbound demand. Thus, this is not the correct feature.
- ✓
Cross-Docking Relevance Indicator in the inbound delivery
Why this is correct
The Cross-Docking Relevance Indicator in the inbound delivery header or item is used to flag that the goods are intended for cross-docking. This indicator triggers the system to check for matching outbound delivery requirements and create cross-docking tasks, bypassing putaway. It is a key configuration for enabling cross-docking.
