Warehouse Orders and Warehouse Order Creation Rules Flashcards
The importance of warehouse order creation rules and how they are grouped into warehouse orders for processing.
- A warehouse order is a group of warehouse tasks. True or False?
A. True
B. False
True
A warehouse order is a work package for a warehouse worker to perform putaway, picking, internal movements, physical inventory, and so forth.
A warehouse order contains a single or multiple warehouse tasks or physical inventory documents based on the limit profile you have set in the warehouse order creation rule.
Grouping on warehouse tasks happens based on the activity area and set of warehouse order creation rules.
- Warehouse orders are grouped together based on which parameter?
A. Warehouse tasks
B. Warehouse request
C. Activity
D. Activity area
Activity area
Warehouse tasks are grouped together based on the activity area, and then the warehouse order creation rule is applied to create a warehouse order. The activity areas are assigned to storage bins by storage bin sorting via Transaction
/SCWM/SBST.
- A warehouse order number range is defined at which level?
A. Client level
B. Warehouse number
C. Document type
D. Item type
Warehouse number
Number ranges for warehouse tasks, waves, warehouse orders, consolidation groups, VAS orders, indirect labor costs, and physical inventory documents are maintained at the warehouse level.
The number range object /SCWM/WHO is
used to maintain warehouse order number ranges.
- Which of the following are warehouse order creation categories?
A. Consolidation group
B. Pick path
C. Pick, pack, and pass (system-driven)
D. All of the above
All of the above
The warehouse order creation category is used to identify a criterion upon which the warehouse tasks should be combined.
For example, if a consolidation group is chosen, then all the warehouse tasks that belong to the same consolidation group are grouped in the warehouse order.
Here are the few warehouse order creation categories available in EWM: pick path, pick path and pass (system-driven), pick path pass (user-driven), pick and pack, load/unload, distributive putaway, physical inventory, and so forth
- A warehouse order creation rule specified at the warehouse process type level
takes precedence over a warehouse order creation rule search sequence. True
or false?
A. True
B. False
True
Warehouse order creation rule determination takes place based on the activity area or by directly assigning to a warehouse process type. The warehouse order creation rule at the warehouse process type level takes precedence over the warehouse order creation rule search sequence.
If this warehouse order creation rule does not fulfill the criteria, then the warehouse order creation rule for the search sequence is determined for warehouse order creation.
- If no warehouse order creation rule is defined for the activity area, then which
warehouse order creation rule is applied for warehouse order creation?
A. UNDE
B. UNKW
C. DEF
D. A warehouse order is not created
DEF
In EWM, all warehouse tasks did not pass the filter’s warehouse order creation rule, and they are passed on to the next warehouse order creation rule in the sequence.
If there are no warehouse order creation rules left in the sequence for the activity area, EWM assigns a default warehouse order creation rule called UNDE (meaning undetermined). If no warehouse order creation rule is
set up for the activity area, EWM uses the default warehouse order creation rule DEF.
- What is the purpose of the packing profile in the warehouse order creation
rule?
A. Creating a pick HU
B. Limiting the number of items in the warehouse order
C. Creating a warehouse tasks in the warehouse order
D. None of the above
Creating a pick HU
A packing profile is used to create pick HUs during the creation of a warehouse order. The packing mode specified in the packing profile system determines packaging specification and HU type from the packaging material master for the pick HU.
The system uses data such as weight, volume, capacity, height, and so forth from the warehouse when creating a suitable number of pick HUs.
- At what time is the inbound sorting rule applied in the warehouse order?
A. At the beginning of warehouse order creation
B. At the end of warehouse order creation
C. During pick HU creation
D. All of the above
At the beginning of warehouse order creation
Sort rules are defined to sort warehouse tasks within the warehouse order. Sort rules can be applied at multiple points during warehouse order processing.
The inbound sorting rule is applied to the warehouse order at the beginning of warehouse order creation to sort the warehouse tasks in the warehouse order.
- Which indicator on the warehouse order creation rule should be checked to be
to use thewarehouse order creation rule for cartonization planning?
A. Warehouse order locked
B. Cap compatibility
C. Determine work center
D. Storage process
Cap compatibility
A cap compatibility indicator should be checked on a warehouse order creation rule for cartonization planning.
Without this indicator, the warehouse order creation rule cannot be used for cartonization planning. If you select this checkbox, the system can use this rule in cartonization planning.
For cartonization planning to work, there must be at least one rule with this checkbox selected.
- What does the warehouse order include as line items? (There are two correct
answers.)
A. Wave items
B. Warehouse tasks
C. Physical inventory document
D. Warehouse requests
Warehouse tasks
Physical inventory document
A warehouse order is the document that represents the work package in EWM. A warehouse order is created for a group of warehouse tasks and physical inventory items.
Warehouse tasks are created for putaway, picking, internal movements, and so forth. Physical inventory documents are created for the physical inventory process.
- What document in EWM represents an executable work package?
A. Transfer order document
B. Warehouse order
C. Warehouse task
D. Inbound delivery document
Warehouse order
A warehouse order is an executable work package that groups warehouse tasks, depending on the activity area and other defined creation rules such as item filter, sort rules, limit values, and so forth.
- Warehouse order size can be controlled by using limit values in the warehouse
order creation rule. Which parameter in limit values helps to control the size
of the warehouse order? (There are two correct answers.)
A. Products
B. Processing time
C. Items
D. Resources
Processing time
Items
Limit values are defined to determine the size of the warehouse order, assigned to each warehouse order creation rule. As soon as values exceed the defined limit, the system creates another warehouse order.
Processing time and items are used to restrict the size of the warehouse order.
- Which of the following functionalities can be used to restrict the amount of
work assigned to warehouse orders?
A. Packing profile
B. Filter and limit values
C. Activity areas
D. None of the above
Filter and limit values
The amount of work assigned to a warehouse order is restricted by filter and limit values in the warehouse order creation rule. Filter values decide whether the filter should be applied at the item level or subtotal level, and limit values define the size of each warehouse order.
The item-level filter checks whether each warehouse task weight, volume, and processing time are within permissible limits of the creation rule.
- Which of the following warehouse task parameters are used for queue determination
in a warehouse order? (There are two correct answers.)
A. Destination activity area
B. Consolidation group
C. Resource
D. Source activity area
Destination activity area
Source activity area
Based on the warehouse process type definition in the warehouse order creation rule activity area, the system determines the source or destination activity area for the warehouse order, and this activity area is used in the determination of the queue.
Queues are determined based on parameters like source activity area, destination activity area, activity, and bin access type.
- Which of the following packing modes can be used to control pick HU creation?
(There are three correct answers.)
A. Business add-in (BAdI)
B. Simple algorithm
C. Complex
D. Sort key
E. Warehouse order creation rule
Business add-in (BAdI)
Simple algorithm
Complex
There are three different packing modes. The simple algorithm uses exactly one packaging material to determine the required pick HUs.
The complex algorithm uses multiple possible packaging materials to determine the optimum pick HUs from the various packaging materials. BAdIs can be used to create pick HUs based on custom logic per business requirements.
