C_S4EWM Extended Warehouse Management Practice Question

Answer analysis

Option-by-option breakdown

For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.

• ✓

  Storage sections are used to divide a storage type into areas with similar characteristics, such as fast-moving or slow-moving areas, and can be included in the storage type search sequence.

  Why this is correct

  Storage sections allow you to group storage bins within a storage type based on characteristics like picking frequency, temperature, or hazardous materials. They can be included in the storage type search sequence, enabling the system to search for bins in a specific section first. This helps optimize putaway and picking efficiency by directing products to appropriate areas.

• ✗

  Storage sections are defined at the warehouse number level and are shared across all storage types.

  Why it's wrong here

  Storage sections are defined at the storage type level, not the warehouse number level. Each storage type can have its own storage sections. This allows different storage types to have different sectioning schemes based on their specific characteristics. They are not shared across all storage types.

• ✗

  Storage sections are only relevant for inbound putaway and are ignored during outbound picking.

  Why it's wrong here

  Storage sections are relevant for both putaway and picking. During picking, the system can use storage sections to optimize the picking path or to prioritize picking from certain areas. The storage section can be considered in the storage type search sequence for both processes, depending on configuration.

• ✓

  The storage section search can be activated in the storage type search sequence, and the system will then search for bins in the specified storage section before moving to the next storage type.

  Why this is correct

  In the storage type search sequence, you can include storage sections as a search level. When activated, the system will first search for bins within the specified storage section of the current storage type. If no suitable bin is found, it proceeds to the next storage type or section according to the sequence. This provides finer control over bin selection.

• ✗

  Storage sections are mandatory for every storage type and must be defined before storage bins can be created.

  Why it's wrong here

  Storage sections are optional. You can create storage bins without assigning them to a storage section. However, if you want to use storage sections in the search sequence, you must define them and assign them to storage bins. They are not a prerequisite for bin creation.
