C_S4EWM Extended Warehouse Management Practice Question
A warehouse manager needs to ensure that when a putaway warehouse task is created, the system automatically determines the destination storage bin using the most suitable strategy. They have configured storage type search sequence and putaway strategies. Which of the following is the correct sequence of steps the system performs to determine the destination storage bin?
⚠ Common exam trap
The trap here is assuming that the putaway strategy can be applied before the storage type and section are determined, which would skip essential filtering steps.
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
✓
Determine storage type using storage type search sequence, then determine storage section using storage section search, then determine storage bin using putaway strategy.
The system determines the destination storage bin by first finding a suitable storage type via the storage type search sequence, then identifying the storage section within that type, and finally applying the putaway strategy to select a specific bin. This sequence ensures that the bin selection respects both the storage type and section constraints.
Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✗
Determine storage type using storage type search sequence, then determine storage bin using putaway strategy, then determine storage section using storage section search.
Why it's wrong here
This is incorrect because the storage section must be determined before the bin. The putaway strategy selects a bin within a storage section. If the section is not known, the strategy cannot correctly identify a bin. The proper order is storage type, then storage section, then bin.
- ✓
Determine storage type using storage type search sequence, then determine storage section using storage section search, then determine storage bin using putaway strategy.
Why this is correct
This is correct because the system first uses the storage type search sequence to find a suitable storage type based on the product and process. Then it determines the storage section within that type using the storage section search. Finally, it applies the putaway strategy to select a specific bin. This hierarchical approach ensures optimal bin selection.
- ✗
Determine storage section using storage section search, then determine storage type using storage type search sequence, then determine storage bin using putaway strategy.
Why it's wrong here
This is incorrect because the storage type must be determined before the storage section. The storage section is a subdivision of a storage type, so the system first selects a storage type, then a section within it. Reversing the order would not work because sections are tied to specific storage types.
- ✗
Determine storage bin using putaway strategy, then determine storage type using storage type search sequence, then determine storage section using storage section search.
Why it's wrong here
This order is incorrect because the storage bin cannot be determined before the storage type and section are known. The putaway strategy operates within a storage type and section. The system must first identify the appropriate storage type and section to narrow down the possible bins, and only then can it apply the strategy to select a bin.
