Process-Oriented and Layout-Oriented Control Flashcards
- In the storage control process, you configure storage groups. How can you use the storage group in EWM? (There are two correct answers.)
A. Assign the storage group to multiple storage bins
B. Use the storage group to define a logical or physical breakdown of a storage
type
C. Assign the storage group as an intermediate storage type or storage bin
D. Use the storage group in POSC and LOSC
Assign the storage group to multiple storage bins
Use the storage group in POSC and LOSC
The storage group for LOSC is a logical or physical breakdown of a storage type. Within a storage type, you can combine a series of storage bins for an area. The criteria for doing this should depend on the physics of the storage bin.
- In EWM, we use storage controls to set up complex processes based on physical movement and the structure of the warehouse. What are the methods of storage control in EWM? (There are two correct answers.)
A. Layout-oriented
B. HU-oriented
C. Process-oriented
D. Warehouse-oriented
A. Layout-oriented
C. Process-oriented
The storage process has two basic methods: POSC and LOSC. You can also combine them, but this isn’t a basic method. Process-oriented is used in case the received products undergo different processes within the warehouse such as unloading, deconsolidation, VAS, and so on. Layout-oriented is used for different resource requirements based on the layout of the warehouse. For example, received products need to be put into a high rack storage area.
- You’re asked to set up POSC in the warehouse. In which case would that be possible?
A. Unloading before counting
B. Staging before loading
C. VAS before putaway
D. None of the above
VAS before putaway
POSC may be required to go through multiple steps in the goods receipt or goods issue process. These inbound process steps are unloading, counting, deconsolidation, quality inspection, VAS, and putaway; the outbound process steps include picking, packing, VAS, staging, and loading. After the HUs are unloaded, the POSC is used to perform VAS before they are put away into the
destination bin.
- When you set up an external step in POSC, you can select rule-based determination for which of the following?
A. Storage type
B. Destination storage bin
C. Warehouse process type
D. All of the above
Destination storage bin
You can set up rule-based determination to determine storage bins automatically in the POSC process steps. For the internal storage process steps, unload, deconsolidate, quality inspection, perform VAS, pack, stage, and load, rule based determination of the destination storage data is supported.
- You have a complex process in the warehouse for receiving and shipping, which includes multiple physical movements and resource changes. What do you configure to achieve the complex processes?
A. Storage process control
B. Outbound delivery
C. Inbound delivery
D. Putaway
Storage process control
Process control is used in both complex putaway and stock removal in EWM. To perform multi-step or complex inbound and outbound processes, for example, unloading, counting, deconsolidation, quality inspection, and putaway, the storage process control is used. For the multistep process for putaway, picking, or internal processes, we use the storage process control.
- In POSC, you create external process steps for the processes performed in the warehouse. What do you assign the external process step to?
A. Packaging specification
B. Internal process step
C. Storage group
D. All of the above
Internal process step
External process steps are linked to internal storage process steps, which represent the process step that is performed in the warehouse. These internal process steps are predefined in SAP such as unload, count, deconsolidate, putaway, remove from stock, pack, stage, and load.
- When you set up complex inbound processes in EWM, which of the following process steps can you choose for POSC? (There are three correct answers.)
A. VAS
B. Staging
C. Deconsolidation
D. Unloading
E. Picking
VAS
Deconsolidation
Unloading
In inbound process unloading, counting, deconsolidation, quality inspection, VAS, and putaway are process steps for the storage process. Picking comes under the stock removal process. Labeling is covered as a VAS process.
- If you’re planning to set up POSC in the outbound process, which of the following are possible process steps? (There are four correct answers.)
A. VAS
B. Loading
C. Picking
D. Packing
E. Deconsolidation
VAS
Loading
Picking
Packing
Picking, packing, VAS, and loading are process steps of stock removal POSC. The deconsolidation process is part of the inbound process for the complex putaway process.
- When you configure POSC with LOSC, EWM always determines POSC first. True or false?
A. True
B. False
True.
When you combine the POSC with the LOSC, EWM always determines the POSC first. This step starts with the unloading process in case there is a complex inbound process that includes process steps and also layout-oriented steps.
- When you set up a complex putaway process using POSC, which of the following process steps are possible in the inbound process?
A. Deconsolidation
B. Quality inspection
C. Unloading
D. VAS
E. All of the above
All of the above
In the storage control definition for POSC, you enter internal storage process steps for the putaway process in the following order: unload, count, deconsolidation, quality inspection, VAS, and putaway.
- In LOSC, the system creates two warehouse tasks: (1) to move HUs from the source bin to the interim storage bin, and (2) to move HUs from interim storage bins to the final destination bin. Immediately after creation, what is the status of the first and second warehouse task?
A. Open and open
B. Open and waiting
C. Waiting and open
D. Waiting and waiting
- In EWM, you configure storage control for POSC. To determine the storage control, which objects do you assign to the storage control? (There are two correct answers.)
A. Warehouse process type
B. Storage type
C. Storage group
D. Warehouse order creation rule
- In POSC, you need to create external process steps for warehouse processes to be performed. Which object in the external process step is assigned?
A. Work center
B. HU type
C. Storage group
D. None of the above
- You’re using POSC for inbound process steps. Using HU warehouse tasks is a requirement for storage control. Which process step can have product warehouse tasks?
A. First unloading process step
B. All the process steps
C. First unloading and final putaway process steps
D. Final putaway process steps
