Correct answer & explanation
✓
Automatic Warehouse Task Creation for Putaway
To automatically create warehouse tasks for putaway when an inbound delivery is posted, the 'Automatic Warehouse Task Creation for Putaway' setting must be activated. This is typically configured in the warehouse process type or via specific putaway control settings. Other options affect goods receipt posting, bin determination, or task grouping, but not the automatic creation of putaway tasks.

- ✗
Warehouse Order Creation Rule
Why it's wrong here
Warehouse Order Creation Rules define how warehouse orders are grouped or created for tasks. They do not automatically create warehouse tasks for putaway upon inbound delivery posting. This setting is more about organizing tasks into orders, not initiating them.
- ✓
Automatic Warehouse Task Creation for Putaway
Why this is correct
This setting in SAP EWM triggers the creation of warehouse tasks automatically upon posting an inbound delivery. It is configured in the warehouse process type or via specific settings for putaway. Activating it ensures immediate task generation without manual intervention, streamlining the putaway process.
- ✗
Putaway Strategy 'Fixed Bin'
Why it's wrong here
The Fixed Bin putaway strategy determines the destination bin based on a fixed assignment per product. It does not control whether a warehouse task is created automatically. This strategy is about bin selection, not task creation. You still need to trigger task creation separately.
- ✗
Immediate Goods Receipt Posting
Why it's wrong here
Immediate Goods Receipt Posting controls whether goods receipt is posted automatically upon inbound delivery notification. It does not directly create warehouse tasks; it affects inventory posting. Even if goods receipt is posted, a warehouse task may not be created unless the appropriate setting is enabled.
