C_S4EWM Extended Warehouse Management Practice Question
You are setting up a new putaway strategy in SAP S/4HANA EWM. The warehouse wants to use a strategy that considers the empty storage bins in a storage type and assigns the bin with the highest empty space first. Which putaway strategy should you configure?
⚠ Common exam trap
Many candidates confuse 'Empty Storage Bin' with capacity-based strategies, assuming any empty bin is the same, when in fact capacity-based selection requires evaluating available space.
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
✓
Storage Bin Capacity
The Storage Bin Capacity putaway strategy evaluates the available capacity of storage bins and selects the bin with the greatest remaining empty space. This ensures optimal utilization of warehouse space. Other strategies either add to existing stock or simply pick empty bins without capacity ranking.
Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✗
Empty Storage Bin
Why it's wrong here
Empty Storage Bin strategy simply finds any empty bin and assigns it, without considering the amount of empty space. It does not rank bins by available capacity. Thus, it does not satisfy the requirement to use the bin with the highest empty space first.
- ✗
Addition to Existing Stock
Why it's wrong here
Addition to Existing Stock strategy searches for bins that already contain the same product and adds the new quantity there. It does not prioritize bins based on empty space. Therefore, it does not meet the requirement of assigning the bin with the highest empty space first.
- ✓
Storage Bin Capacity
Why this is correct
The Storage Bin Capacity strategy considers the available capacity of bins and assigns the bin with the most empty space. It uses capacity check to determine the best fit. This matches the requirement to assign the bin with the highest empty space first.
- ✗
Next Empty Bin
Why it's wrong here
Next Empty Bin strategy assigns the next empty bin in sequence, typically based on bin sorting. It does not evaluate the available empty space within bins. Therefore, it does not choose the bin with the most empty space.
