C_S4EWM Extended Warehouse Management Practice Question
Your warehouse uses a two-step picking process for full pallet movements. During the pick step, the system creates a pick handling unit (HU) that aggregates the picked quantities. After the pick step, you need the system to automatically create warehouse tasks to move the pick HUs to their final destination. Which configuration element must you set up to enable this automatic creation?
⚠ Common exam trap
The trap here is assuming that activating a simple indicator on a standard warehouse process type is sufficient for two-step picking; instead, a dedicated process type must be configured and assigned in the two-step picking settings.

Correct answer & explanation
✓
Set up a warehouse process type for the pick HU movement and assign it in the two-step picking configuration.
In two-step picking, the pick step creates pick HUs that aggregate picked quantities. To automatically move these pick HUs to their final destination, you must define a warehouse process type specifically for the pick HU movement and assign it in the two-step picking configuration. This process type determines the movement type and controls task creation, ensuring the system generates the necessary warehouse tasks after the pick step.
Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✗
Activate the 'Pick HU Management' indicator in the warehouse product master for all relevant products.
Why it's wrong here
The warehouse product master controls product-specific settings like storage bin types and putaway/picking strategies, but it does not trigger the automatic creation of warehouse tasks for moving pick HUs. Two-step picking task creation is configured at the warehouse process type level and in the two-step picking customizing, not via product master indicators.
- ✗
Configure a warehouse order creation rule that includes the pick HU as a reference document.
Why it's wrong here
Warehouse order creation rules group warehouse tasks into warehouse orders based on criteria like activity area, but they do not directly create tasks for moving pick HUs to final destinations. While they can include pick HUs as reference, the automatic creation of movement tasks for pick HUs is driven by a separate process, often using a warehouse process type specifically for the pick HU movement or a follow-on function.
- ✗
Define a warehouse process type with the 'Two-Step Picking' indicator activated.
Why it's wrong here
The warehouse process type determines the movement type and controls putaway/picking procedures, but it does not trigger the automatic creation of warehouse tasks for moving pick HUs after the pick step. Two-step picking requires a separate configuration for the pick HU movement, typically through a warehouse order creation rule or a specific process type for the pick HU movement, not by simply activating an indicator on a standard process type.
- ✓
Set up a warehouse process type for the pick HU movement and assign it in the two-step picking configuration.
Why this is correct
In two-step picking, after the pick step, the system creates warehouse tasks to move the pick HUs to a staging area or directly to the destination. This is controlled by a warehouse process type that is specifically assigned in the two-step picking configuration (e.g., in the warehouse process type for the pick HU movement). This process type determines the movement type and other parameters for these tasks.
