Warehouse Process Types and Warehouse Tasks Flashcards
The importance of warehouse process types, including their setup and modification.
- The warehouse process type is determined on the inbound delivery notification
document. True or false?
A. True
B. False
False
The warehouse process type is determined during inbound delivery creation, or a warehouse request document carries the warehouse process type and other warehouse process-specific information. An inbound delivery notification contains delivery information specific to the SAP S/4HANA system in a decentralized EWM landscape.
- Which fields are used to determine the warehouse process type? (There are four correct answers.)
A. Warehouse numbers
B. Document type
C. Item type
D. Delivery priority
E. Activity area
Warehouse numbers
Document type
Item type
Delivery priority
In combination, a warehouse number, a document type, an item type and a delivery priority are used to determine the warehouse process type.
The warehouse process type determination process is customized in EWM. Not all this information is required for warehouse process type determination, but if the system finds a warehouse process type with this combination, then it is applied to the item on a warehouse request.
- The warehouse process type is used for storage type determination. True or false?
A. True
B. False
True
Source and destination storage types/bins can be defined at the warehouse process type level. If a storage type is not defined in the warehouse process type, then the system tries to find it from a process step or a rule-based indicator. Source storage types are identified based on the staging area/door determination group.
- The warehouse process type is determined at the header level of a warehouse request document. True or false?
A. True
B. False
False
A warehouse process type defines the movement of a product in the
warehouse. Since it is item-level information and not header-level information, the movement is determined at the item level. Using information such as product master, stock type, and party entitled to dispose, the system determines the source or destination storage type.
- What are the different types of warehouse tasks? (There are two correct answers.)
A. Product warehouse tasks
B. HU warehouse tasks
C. Storage bin warehouse tasks
D. Storage type warehouse tasks
Product warehouse tasks
HU warehouse tasks
A warehouse task can move products within a warehouse; thus, EWM creates warehouse tasks at the product level or the HU level since the HU contains the product to be moved within the warehouse. Also, products can be stored in storage bins either in an HU or directly as products.
- A warehouse order creation rule is defined at which of the following elements?
A. Warehouse process type
B. Storage type
C. Storage process
D. Warehouse task
Warehouse process type
A warehouse order creation rule is also defined at the warehouse process type level. When defined at this level, the system applies the rules from this warehouse order creation rule to the warehouse tasks to group tasks in the warehouse order. If a warehouse order creation rule is not defined at the warehouse process type level, then the system uses a warehouse order creation rule search sequence to find the warehouse order creation rule.
- Which of the following is not defined in a warehouse process type definition?
A. Activity area
B. Storage process
C. Warehouse order creation rule
D. Priority
Activity area
An activity area is combination of multiple storage bins based on the activity; it is not defined in the warehouse process type definition. A warehouse order creation rule, a storage process, and a priority are defined in the warehouse process type definition.
- Process block profiles are defined in the warehouse product master data. Trueor false?
A. True
B. False
True
A process block profile is defined in the warehouse product master data, in the warehouse data view. The purpose of a process block profile is to control certain processes at the product level, such as no putaway or picking for a specific product. In such cases, the system will block those processes either as an error or with a warning.
- Where is the process type control indicator defined?
A. Warehouse process type
B. Warehouse product master
C. Storage type
D. Storage bin
Warehouse product master
A process type control indicator is defined at the warehouse product master level and helps in warehouse process type determination. For products requiring putaway using POSC, you can specify a different warehouse process type than for products that don’t require putaway with POSC.
- What do you need to configure before you can create warehouse tasks for an outbound delivery order or for an inbound delivery order? (There are two correct answers.)
A. Warehouse process type
B. Process-oriented storage control (POSC)
C. Warehouse creation rules
D. Warehouse process type determination
Warehouse process type
Warehouse process type determination
When an outbound delivery order or an inbound delivery is created in EWM, the system determines warehouse-specific attributes, such as the warehouse process type for a specific outbound delivery, based on certain parameters like delivery document type, item type, and control indicators from the product master.
- Which of the following documents can be used as a reference document for putaway task creation?
A. Inbound delivery
B. Outbound delivery
C. Inbound delivery notification
D. Expected goods receipt
Inbound delivery
A putaway warehouse task is created with reference to an inbound delivery; it can either be a product warehouse task or a handling warehouse task.
- Which warehouse process type category is used for a picking warehouse task?
A. Putaway
B. Stock removal
C. Replenishment
D. Internal
Stock removal
For an outbound delivery or picking process, a stock removal warehouse process category is used to picking warehouse tasks. The warehouse process category determines the direction of product movement within a warehouse.
- A warehouse process type controls a goods movement in a warehouse through which of the following parameters?
A. Warehouse process category
B. Storage process
C. Availability group
D. Activity
Warehouse process category
A warehouse process category defines the nature of movement in a warehouse. These warehouse process categories are predefined in the EWM system, for example, putaway, physical inventory, stock removal, goods receipt posting, goods issue posting, internal movements, etc.
- Which of the following warehouse process type settings triggers warehouse order creation rule determination?
A. Consolidation group
B. Activity
C. Delivery priority
D. Stock type
Activity
You can define activities to represent goods movements within an activity area. An activity in a warehouse could triggers goods movements. For example, perform physical inventory, perform picking, perform replenishment, and perform putaway. An activity must be uniquely assigned to a warehouse process category.
- Which of the following are examples of warehouse process categories? (There are three correct answers.)
A. Stock removal
B. Putaway
C. Packing
D. Check-in
E. Posting change
Stock removal
Putaway
Posting change
Warehouse process categories are predefined in the EWM system, for example, putaway, physical inventory, stock removal, goods receipt posting, goods issue posting, internal movements, etc.
