Sample Questions

1. The outbound delivery plant for each item is defined in the order. The system canautomatically determine theoutbound delivery plant. Identity the highest priority outbound delivery plant in descending priorityorder?

a) Outbound delivery plant defined in material master, Outbound delivery plant defined in ship-toparty masterrecord, Outbound delivery plant defined in Customer material information master record

b) Outbound delivery plant defined in ship-to party master record, Outbound delivery plantdefined in Customermaterial information master record, Outbound delivery plant defined in material master

c) Outbound delivery plant defined in Customer material information master record, Outbounddelivery plant definedin ship-to party master record, Outbound delivery plant defined in material master

d) Outbound delivery plant defined in Customer material information master record, Outbounddelivery plant definedin ship-to party master record, Outbound delivery plant defined in material master

Answer: d

Explanation:1. The system locates a customer material information master record and an outbound deliveryplant is definedthere, this plant is proposed with the highest priority for the order item.

2. If no customer information master record exists or if no plant is maintained there, the systemdetermines theoutbound delivery plant from the ship-to-party master record.

3. If no plant is maintained in the ship-to-party master record either, the system accesses thematerial master record.

The responsible shipping point is determined for each order item. The system automaticallyproposes a shipping pointthat you can change within given limits.

The shipping point depends on the following criteria:

1. The delivering plantthat is determined for each order item (from the customer-material inforecord, the ship-to-party record, or the material master record).

2. The shipping requirements (for example, express) contained in the ShippingConditionsfield

3. The required loading equipment contained in the Loading Group field in the materialmaster.

The shipping condition is proposed from the sales document type if a shipping condition has beenassigned to it. If not,

5/21/2018 SAP WM

3/15

the shipping condition is proposed from the master record of the sold-to-party.

An outbound delivery is always issued from one shipping point only. The shipping point cannot bechanged in theoutbound delivery. When an order processed for delivery by the shipping point, the system onlycopies into the

outbound delivery those order items that are defined for this shipping point.

Order items with different shipping points are therefore not copied into the same outbound delivery.

2. What happens when no storage location for picking is specified in the order item? (more thanone option iscorrect)

a) The system determines the storage location when it creates the outbound delivery and copiesit into the deliveryitem.

b) The storage location entered in the order item is used in the outbound deliveryc) The system determines the storage location from plantd) The storage location entered in the customer master is considered

Answer: a & b

Explanation:If no storage location for picking is specified in the order item, the system determines the storagelocation when it createsthe outbound delivery and copies it into the delivery item. Otherwise, the storage location entered inthe order item is

used in the outbound delivery.

The system determines the picking location bases on a rule defined in the delivery type. Thefollowing rules are shippedin the standard system:

MALA:The picking location is determined based on the shipping point, the delivering plant, and thematerials storagecondition defined in the material master.

RETA and MARA:These rules are mainly used in trade scenarios.You can also use the customer exit in SAP enhancement V02V0002 to implement storage locationdetermination. The

picking location search is activated for each delivery item category.

3. What is the goods movement status of the outbound delivery after a goods issue has beencancelled?

a) Cancelledb) Restartedc) Not yet startedd) Reversed - sign

Answer: c

Explanation:If goods issue for an outbound delivery is canceled, the goods issue posting is reset. The systemcopies the quantitiesand values from the original goods issue document and carries out an inventory posting based onthese quantities andvalues with a reversed +/- sign.

If you cancel goods issue, this affects the entireoutbound delivery. The cancellation document

created duringcancellation is entered into the document flow for the outbound delivery.

After goods issue has been canceled, the goods movement status of the outbound delivery is resetto Notyetstarted. This allows you to further process the outbound delivery as usual. The deliveryrequirements are alsorecreated. Canceling goods issue comprises two steps if the outbound delivery has been fully orpartially billed. In this

5/21/2018 SAP WM

5/15

case you must first cancel the billing document. Then you can cancel goods issue.

For each movement type in Inventory Management, you must define a reversal movement type inCustomizing. Noadditional settings are required for the movement types used for goods issue posting in the standardsystem.

4. You must always specify a batch before goods are issued. What is the solution if the deliveryquantities of an itemare to be taken from different batches? (more than one option is correct)

a) In Ware house Managementb) Manually in the batch split screen of the delivery itemc) Using automatic batch determination when creating the outbound delivery

d) Manually in the outbound delivery

Answer: a, b & c

Explanation:You can specify a batch in the relevant detail screen for materials handled in batches (whether ornot a material ishandled in batches is indicated in the material master record in the Storage 1 and Purchasingscreens). Whendelivering a sales order, this batch is copied to the outbound delivery. You cannot change it there.

If a batch has not been specified in the sales order, you can enter in the picking overview screen ofthe outbounddelivery. You must specify a batch before goods are issued.

You have to use the batch split function if the delivery quantities of an item are to be taken fromdifferent batches. Youcarry out batch split as follows:

1. Manuallyin the batch split screen of the delivery item.2. Using automaticbatch determination when creating the outbound delivery (this function mustfirst be activated inthe delivery item category.3. Through manually triggered batch determination in thebatch split screen

4. In Warehouse Management

6/15

You can assign a unique serial number to each material. This allows you to monitor goodsmovement for individualmaterials; for example, when selling materials to a customer. Using serial numbers you can alsomanage themaintenance of individual materials more easily in the system, if equipment master record exists forthese materials. Touse serial numbers, enter serial number profiles in the master for the relevant materials. Serial

numbers are usuallyspecified in the delivery item. However, you can also define them in the order.

You can also have serial numbers assigned automaticallyby the system. You must specify allserial numbers beforeposting goods issue.

5. What is the requirement for the Purchase order items that are included when the inbounddelivery is created?

a) They should have material control keyb) They should have confirmation control keyc) Planned confirmation keyd) Order item confirmation key

Answer: b

5/21/2018 SAP WM

7/15

Explanation:Inbound deliveries can be created with reference to purchase orders. You can do this using severalpurchase orders,entire purchase orders, or just partial quantities of purchase order items. The inbound delivery thenserves as the basisfor further activities, such as transfer order creation, packing, and goods receipt posting. Inbound

shipments are plannedon the basis of inbound deliveries.

Purchase order items that are to be included when the inbound delivery is created must havea confirmation controlkey. The confirmation control key governs whether confirmations are relevant for goods receipt ormaterials planning. Ifa material document is to be created when the goods receipt posting for the inbound delivery iscarried out, then thegoods receipt assignment must be defined in the confirmation control.

6. Movements involving the Inventory Management system use storage areas that are definedas storage types inthe Warehouse Management system and as storage locations in the IM system. The goods receiptfor a purchase order

5/21/2018 SAP WM

8/15

is posted first in Inventory Management and the goods are then brought into the warehouse via astorage area, thegoods receipt area. What are these storage areas called?

a) Storage sectionsb) Interim storage area

c) Putawayd) One storage

Answer: b

Explanation:The interim storage area plays a special role and can be generally be recognized at first glance inthe standard systemby their key ( which starts with a 9). These storage areas form a sort of bridge to InventoryManagement. Good receiptarea and goods issue area are typical examples of interim storage areas.

An exception to this convention is the interim storage area 100, which is used to connect WarehouseManagement toProduction Control via the WW-PP interface.Every goods movement that affects both WarehouseManagement anInventory Management is processed using an interim storage area. An everyday example is a goodsreceipt for apurchase order, which is posted first in Inventory Management.

The goods are then brought into Warehouse Management via an interim storage area, the goodsreceipt area. A masterrecord is assigned to each storage type in Customizing. This is where you make the settings tocontrol goods receipt and

goods issue processes for putaway and removal from storage.

7. Where can we find exact whereabouts of a material quantity in the warehouse?

a) Warehouse binsb) Storage binsc) Storage Sectionsd) Bin Sort Locations

Answer: b

Explanation:In Warehouse Management, Storage bins are master data created either from the application menu

or in Customizing.Based on this master data, the stock overview in Warehouse Management shows the exactwhereabouts of a materialquantity in the warehouse.

Storage bins are always created withina storage section. You can also assign a picking area andwhere necessary, afire-containment section for a hazardous goods management. Every storage bin is uniquelyidentified by coordinates inthe storage type. Up to 10 characters are available for constructing the storage bin coordinates. Youcan usealphanumeric characters and a selection of other characters (such as hypens ) for the coordinates.

Storage bins can also be assigned to a storage bin type. Storage bin types are optional categoriesthat you define freelyin Customizing for Warehouse Management in order to roughly specify the dimensions of youstorage bins.Storage bin types are particularly useful if storage bins of a particular storage type or storage sectionwithin storage typehave different dimension.

Storage Bin Types

5/21/2018 SAP WM

10/15

The system can use the storage bin types in the storage unit type check to determine whether theload carriers intendedfor the current putaway activity are suitable for the storage bin that was determined by the system,based on theCustomizing settings or information that was entered manually by the user.

In Customizing, storage bin types (groups of storage bins) are assigned to groups of (permitted) load

carriers (storageunit types) for this purpose.

You can also make optional entries for the maximum weight a storage bin can hold and its totalcapacity. These entriesare only taken into account by the system if the capacity check has been activated at storage typelevel with thecorresponding method.

If a storage bin has stock, this stock is displayed in detail in the storage bin master data record. Youcan also tell fromthe master record whether the storage bin inventory has already been counted in the current fiscalyear, and see theresults of the count.

You can block a storage bin for a putaway and/or stock removal directly from its master record.However, if you want toblock a large number of storage bins, you can use a special transaction, Block/Unblock SeveralStorage BinsSimultaneously (transaction code LS06). The system cannot access blocked storage bins duringputaway, stockremoval, and posting change activities.

8. Some kinds of material; for example, certain fluids are not suited to interim storage in a goods

receipt area. Theyare taken directly to the destination storage bin when they arrive (for example, in a road tanker). Inthis case, the goodsreceipt posting in the Inventory Management should not trigger the creation of transferrequirement. How can we setthis?

a) Special Material Indicatorb) Bin putaway indicatorc) Special movement indicatord) Special Storage indicator

Answer: c

Explanation:The main purpose of special movement indicator is to deal with selected materials differently fromthe majority ofmaterials during putaway, stock removal, or stock transfer. However, you can also set the indicatorindependently of thematerial for individual Inventory Management posting activities to control the process flow in thewarehouse in a specialway. Special treatment could include: for example, transfer order creation or putaway in a particularstorage type. Theindicator is always used to allow exceptions to the rule without having to enter the details manually.

The system steers a certain material toward its own goods receipt area during a goods receiptposting for a purchaseorder. With the help of the special movement indicator, which you either store in the material masterrecord or enterduring the goods receipt posting, the system determines a different Warehouse Managementmovement type than theone defined for the standard process. The movement type for this special processing is assigned toa different interimstorage area than the standard movement type.

The special movement indicator can also cause immediate transfer order creation for certainmaterials or for individual

activities. To do this, you add an entry with the special movement indicator in the table linking thereference movementtype and the Warehouse Management movement. There is a description of this procedure later inthe lesson.

9. Sometimes a customer cancels an order at the last minute or wants to postpone the deliveryuntil a much later

time than planned. If the goods have already been picked and taken to the goods issue area, theyhave to be returnedto storage. What is the transaction available and what are its functions?a) Transaction LT0Gb) Transaction LTG1c) You can return an entire delivery quantity to storage

d) You can return the quantity from individual transfer order items

Answer: a, c & d

Explanation:We can use transaction LT0G which makes this easier. You can decide whether you want to returnan entire deliveryquantity to storage or only the quantity from individual transfer order items.

Return Transfer for Outbound Delivery

Regardless of whether you want to return all or some of the picked materials to storage, you canchoose between thefollowing options:

1. Return transfer of the picked quant to the picking bin2. Putaway in another storage bin, possibly in another storage type

5/21/2018 SAP WM

13/15

You can only put away the materials in another storage bin interactively (in the foreground) or let thesystem do it (in thebackground). If you choose background processing, the system searches for a storage typeaccording the settings forthe storage type search, and searches for a storge bin according to the putaway strategy that is validfor the storage

type. If an error occurs, the system creates a log.

10. What are the transactions available to create a transfer order for moving partial stocks withina warehousenumber? (more than one option is correct)

a) LT01b) LT10c) LT02d) LT20

Answer: a & b

Explanation:Two transactions are available to create a transfer order for moving partial stocks within awarehouse number:

1. Create Transfer Order without Source Object (transaction code LT01)2. Create Transfer Order from Stock List (transaction code LT10)

With the create transfer object without source object transaction, you can only move the stock fromone storage bin. If

you want to move the stock from entire storage section or picking sections in a storage type, or evenall of the stock in astorage type, you should use the transaction Create Transfer Order from Stock List (RSL10034). Inthis program, youcan select the quants you want to move and then enter the destination data. The system creates aseparate transferorder for each quant.

You can use an inbound electronic data interchange (EDI) shipping notification from your vendor to

create an inbounddelivery. The message type for this is DESADV. You can create a delivery manually with referenceto a particular order.You can use collective processing to deliver goods for all purchase orders that are due to beshipped. In this case, thesystem automatically creates multiple inbound deliveries. This can be done either online or in thebackground.
