C_S4EWM Extended Warehouse Management Practice Question
You are configuring a warehouse order creation rule for an outbound process. The rule should combine warehouse tasks into warehouse orders based on the same resource and ensure that the total weight of each warehouse order does not exceed 500 kg. Which TWO parameters must you set in the warehouse order creation rule to achieve this? (Choose two.)
⚠ Common exam trap
A common mix-up: candidates confuse sorting with grouping, or weight with task count, leading to selection of sort profile or maximum number of tasks instead of the correct parameters.

Correct answer & explanation
✓
Grouping Criterion: Resource
To combine warehouse tasks into warehouse orders based on the same resource and limit total weight to 500 kg, the warehouse order creation rule must have the grouping criterion set to Resource and the maximum weight set to 500 kg. The grouping criterion ensures tasks are grouped by resource, while the maximum weight parameter enforces the weight limit. Other parameters like sort profile or maximum number of tasks do not achieve these specific goals.
Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✗
Sort Profile: Resource
Why it's wrong here
A sort profile determines the sequence in which tasks are processed within a warehouse order, not how they are grouped. While sorting by resource might order tasks by resource, it does not combine them into orders based on resource. Grouping is controlled by the grouping criterion, not the sort profile. Thus, this alone would not achieve the required grouping.
- ✓
Grouping Criterion: Resource
Why this is correct
Setting the grouping criterion to Resource ensures that warehouse tasks are grouped by the resource that will execute them. This allows the system to combine tasks that are assigned to the same resource into a single warehouse order. This is essential to meet the requirement of combining tasks based on the same resource. Without this, tasks might be grouped by other criteria, not resource.
- ✓
Maximum Weight: 500 kg
Why this is correct
Setting the maximum weight to 500 kg ensures that the total weight of all tasks in a warehouse order does not exceed this limit. The system calculates the weight of each task based on the product master data and stops adding tasks to the order once the limit is reached. This directly enforces the weight restriction. Without this parameter, orders could exceed the weight limit.
- ✗
Maximum Number of Tasks: 500
Why it's wrong here
The maximum number of tasks parameter limits the count of tasks per warehouse order, not the weight. Setting it to 500 would allow up to 500 tasks, which is unrelated to the weight constraint. It does not enforce the 500 kg limit. Therefore, it does not meet the requirement and could result in orders exceeding the weight limit if tasks are heavy.
- ✗
Warehouse Process Type: Outbound
Why it's wrong here
The warehouse process type determines the process steps for a warehouse task, such as picking or putaway. It does not control grouping or weight limits in the warehouse order creation rule. While it is relevant for task creation, it does not influence how tasks are combined into orders. Thus, it is not a parameter to set for this requirement.
