C_S4EWM Extended Warehouse Management Practice Question
Exhibit
Config: Storage Type Z01 Putaway Strategy: Fixed Bin Indicator: Empty Bin Issue: System allows multiple products in same bin.
Refer to the exhibit. Which configuration change is required to enforce a 'one-product-per-bin' policy?
⚠ Common exam trap
Candidates frequently look for 'Bin' level configuration. However, the 'Mixed Storage' indicator is a setting at the 'Storage Type' level that governs all bins within that type.

Correct answer & explanation
✓
Set Mixed Storage to 'Not Allowed'
The 'Fixed Bin' strategy often defaults to allowing multiple products if not constrained by storage type configuration. By adjusting the 'Mixed Storage' flag at the storage type level, the warehouse manager can enforce strict single-product or single-batch binning. This is critical for warehouses that manage serialized or high-value items where bin-level integrity is mandatory for accurate counting, stock management, and audit compliance, preventing the common issue of commingled stock in restricted storage zones.
Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✓
Set Mixed Storage to 'Not Allowed'
Why this is correct
Setting mixed storage to 'Not Allowed' at the storage type level is the standard configuration to enforce a one-product-per-bin policy. This forces the system to reject any putaway task that would result in multiple product numbers being present in a single bin, ensuring clean inventory segmentation across the facility.
- ✗
Enable 'Capacity Check' in the Storage Type
Why it's wrong here
Capacity check limits the volume or weight of the bin but does not prevent multiple products from being placed there. Even if the bin is not full by volume, you could still add a second product, meaning capacity check is not the correct tool for enforcing product-based bin exclusivity.
- ✗
Update the Storage Bin Type to 'Single'
Why it's wrong here
The storage bin type defines physical dimensions and is not a logical control for product numbers. Changing the bin type will not prevent the system from allowing multiple products in the bin; it only changes the bin's physical metadata, which is irrelevant to the logical restriction of multiple products.
- ✗
Change the Warehouse Process Type
Why it's wrong here
The warehouse process type governs the movement flow, not the storage type's bin content rules. Changing the process type would impact how the task is executed but would not provide the necessary constraint to prevent mixed products in a bin, as that logic is held within the storage type configuration.
