C_S4EWM Extended Warehouse Management Practice Question
You are configuring a new EWM warehouse and need to set up the storage bin determination for putaway. Which TWO of the following statements accurately describe the role of the storage section in this process? (Choose two.)
⚠ Common exam trap
The trap here is assuming the storage section is mandatory or globally defined, when it is optional and storage-type-specific.
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
✓
The storage section search can be included in the storage type search sequence to refine bin selection.
The storage section is a subdivision of a storage type used to group bins based on physical or logical criteria. It can be included in the storage type search sequence to refine bin selection during putaway. It is optional and defined per storage type. These characteristics make it a flexible tool for optimizing putaway processes.
Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✗
The storage section is defined at the warehouse number level and applies to all storage types.
Why it's wrong here
The storage section is defined per storage type, not at the warehouse number level. It is a subdivision of a specific storage type. Therefore, it does not apply globally to all storage types within a warehouse.
- ✗
The storage section determines the putaway strategy to be used for a product.
Why it's wrong here
The putaway strategy is determined by the warehouse process type and the storage type, not by the storage section. The storage section only refines the bin selection within a storage type. It does not control which putaway strategy is applied.
- ✓
The storage section search can be included in the storage type search sequence to refine bin selection.
Why this is correct
The storage type search sequence can include a storage section search step. This allows the system to narrow down the search to a specific storage section within a storage type. It is a powerful way to control putaway based on product requirements or physical conditions.
- ✓
The storage section is used to divide a storage type into smaller areas based on physical or logical criteria.
Why this is correct
The storage section is indeed a subdivision of a storage type. It allows you to group storage bins based on criteria such as temperature zone, aisle, or other physical characteristics. This helps in directing putaway to specific areas within a storage type, improving efficiency and organization.
- ✗
The storage section is mandatory for every storage type in EWM.
Why it's wrong here
The storage section is not mandatory. You can use storage sections only when needed. If a storage type does not have storage sections defined, the system skips the storage section search step. Therefore, it is optional and depends on the warehouse design.
