A logistics firm is implementing SAP EWM for a client in the fast-moving consumer goods (FMCG) sector. They need to configure a multi-step putaway process that involves an initial quality inspection at a dedicated work center before moving the goods to their final storage type. Which configuration element is essential for directing warehouse tasks through this sequence of intermediate locations?
A warehouse manager observes that during picking for production orders, operators are frequently sent to the same high-rack storage bin for small quantities of the same component, leading to congestion. The goal is to establish a forward picking area with smaller bins that are replenished from the high-rack bulk area. Which combination of settings is required to automate this replenishment process? (Select TWO)
A company is migrating from a legacy Warehouse Management System to SAP S/4HANA EWM. The project team is advised to follow 'Clean Core' principles to ensure future upgradeability and reduce total cost of ownership. A requirement arises to create a custom RF transaction screen with a unique validation logic not available in the standard system. According to Clean Core principles, what is the recommended approach?
True or False: In a decentralized EWM scenario, the Core Interface (CIF) is exclusively used for transferring master data like materials and vendors, while transactional data like deliveries are transferred using IDocs.
A pharmaceutical warehouse uses batch management and needs to enforce a strict First-Expiry-First-Out (FEFO) removal strategy. During configuration, a consultant has set up the stock removal rule based on Shelf Life Expiration Date (SLED). However, during testing, the system sometimes proposes batches with a later expiration date. Which master data element is MOST likely misconfigured, causing this behavior?
A large distribution center is experiencing bottlenecks at the goods receipt area. The process involves unloading pallets, moving them to a deconsolidation work center, and then putting them away. The manager wants to analyze the time spent at each step to identify inefficiencies. Which SAP EWM feature provides the detailed analytics and KPIs for this purpose?
During a cycle counting process, a warehouse clerk finds a discrepancy for a product in a bin. The physical count is 95 units, but the system shows 100 units. The clerk enters the count of 95 in the RF device. What is the immediate next step that the system performs in the standard cycle counting process?
A warehouse uses a large, open floor area for staging outbound deliveries. To manage this space effectively, a consultant needs to ensure that the system directs different shipments to specific, non-fixed locations within this area. Which combination of EWM structural elements should be used to model this staging area?
A company wants to implement opportunistic cross-docking to speed up the fulfillment of backorders. Which of the following are mandatory prerequisites for the system to identify a cross-docking opportunity? (Select THREE)
When integrating SAP EWM with production, components need to be moved from the warehouse to a Production Supply Area (PSA). How does the system determine the exact destination bin within the PSA for a component staging request?
