C_S4EWM Extended Warehouse Management Practice Question
A warehouse uses a two-step picking process: first, a pick list is created for a group of outbound deliveries, and then the actual picking is performed. Which EWM object is used to group outbound delivery items for two-step picking?
⚠ Common exam trap
The trap here is assuming that a wave or warehouse order serves as the grouping object for two-step picking, when in fact a dedicated pick list is used to consolidate the pick across multiple deliveries.

Correct answer & explanation
✓
Pick List
Two-step picking uses a pick list to consolidate outbound delivery items for the initial pick. The pick list groups the total quantities to be picked, which are then distributed to individual deliveries after the pick is complete. This object is central to the two-step picking process.

- ✗
Pick Point
Why it's wrong here
A pick point is a physical location where picking is performed, often used in two-step picking to stage goods before distribution. It is not the grouping object for outbound delivery items; rather, it is a destination for the intermediate step. The grouping of items for two-step picking is done via a pick list or a similar object.
- ✓
Pick List
Why this is correct
In two-step picking, a pick list is used to group outbound delivery items for the initial pick step. The pick list consolidates the required quantities from multiple deliveries, allowing the warehouse operator to pick the total quantity in one pass. After picking, the goods are staged at a pick point and then distributed to the individual deliveries in a second step.
- ✗
Wave
Why it's wrong here
A wave is used to group and release outbound delivery items for picking, but it is not specific to two-step picking. Waves are typically used to manage workload and organize picking across multiple deliveries. Two-step picking, however, requires a specific grouping object that separates the overall picking into a pick and a subsequent distribution step.
- ✗
Warehouse Order
Why it's wrong here
A warehouse order groups warehouse tasks for execution by a resource. While warehouse orders are created for picking, they are not the grouping object for two-step picking. In two-step picking, the pick list is the primary grouping, and warehouse orders are generated based on the pick list tasks. The warehouse order itself does not represent the consolidated pick across deliveries.
