5. Do you have any certifications in SAP?
6. What is your primary skill, is it MM / WM / SD / or EWM?
7. Why do you need to go for SAP EWM implementation, what are the benefits of EWM?

8. What is the EWM Organization structure?

a. The basic EWM organizational structure is same except an addition of a
new organizational element called “Activity Area” which is a new feature.
b. Plant and storage location is the same.
c. Activity area is the new organizational element-Storage type,storage section,Bins.

9. What is a storage type and give examples of storage types you have worked on?
a. A storage type is a storage area, warehouse facility, or a warehouse zone
that you define in Warehouse Management (WM) for a warehouse number.
This is a physical or logical subdivision of a warehouse complex that is
characterized by its warehouse technique, the space used, its organizational
form, or its function.

b. Bulk storage area. General storage area. High rack storage area. Fixed bin
storage area.

10. What is a storage section? Is it mandatory to have a storage section in EWM?

a. In Extended Warehouse Management (EWM), a storage section is an
organizational subdivision of a storage type, which groups together
storage bins with similar attributes for the purpose of putaway.

b. The use of storage sections in a storage type is only mandatory if you use
storage section control or storage section search in the storage type. You
can define control parameters and control values only in the storage type.

11. What is a storage bin and how do you create them in EWM?
a. A storage type consists of a selection of storage spaces, which are called
storage bins in Extended Warehouse Management (EWM). The storage bin
is the smallest spatial unit in a warehouse. Therefore, the storage bin
represents the exact position in the warehouse where products are and/or can be
stored.
 SAP Path: SAP Easy Access > Logistics > SCM Extended Warehouse
Management > Extended Warehouse Management > Master Data > Storage Bin
> Generate Storage Bins.
b. Transaction Code: /SCWM/LS10.

12. What are quants?

a. When you put a product away into an empty storage bin in Extended
Warehouse Management (EWM), the system creates a quant in this storage
bin. You can increase the quantity of a quant by adding to the existing stock.
When you remove the quantity from storage, the system automatically deletes
the quant.

13. What is QRFC process and what is the use of it?

a. The qRFC (queued Remote Function Call) is an extension of the tRFC. It
allows you to serialize tRFC calls using a queue.

b. The qRFC monitor is used to monitor application errors in inbound and

outbound queues. It is available in both the ERP system and the SCM system.
All transfer channels (queues) are displayed for all target systems.

14. What is Transactional data?

a. Transaction data are business documents which are created using master data
ie. sales orders. Data relating to the day-to-day transactions. Transactional Data
is not constant and can be changed quite often. Example of Transaction
data: production details, daily transactions etc.

15. What are IDOCs? What are the Transaction codes to view IDOCs?
a. IDoc refers to a document that is stored in an SAP database table for the
purpose of further processing. Most business operations (Warehouses) are
having Legacy systems which will not completely replaced by SAP but should
have a communication method between both systems.

WE60 – IDoc types documentation.

WE30 – IDoc types.
WE81 – Message types.
WE82 – IDoc Type / Message.
WE60 – Process codes.
WE41 – Outbound process code.
WE42 – Inbound process code.
16. What is the master data in SAP EWM?
a. Master data − Data that is created centrally, and is valid for all applications. It remains
constant over time but we need to update it on a regular basis. For example: Vendor is a
type of master data that is used for creating purchase orders or contracts.

17. What Is the hierarchical Structure in Warehouse Management?

a. The highest unit in a Warehouse is the Warehouse number and the smallest unit is a
storage bin. A Storage Bin tells the exact location of a product in a warehouse.
Warehouse Number − Each warehouse consists of a warehouse number which is at the
highest level in a warehouse management system.

18. What is availability group?

a. Availability Groups are simply to represent storage locations. In SAP ERP stock always
belongs to a combination of plant and storage location. That means that the warehouse
needs to keep the information in any stock which plant and storage locations it belongs
to.

19. What are the storage types in EWM?

a. Bulk storage area.
b. General storage area.
c. High rack storage area.
d. Fixed bin storage area.
e. Rack storage area

20. what is activity area?

a. An activity area is a logical grouping of storage bins (belonging to a single or multiple
storage types) for the purpose of putaway, picking, inventory or replenishment.

21. Tell me about the simple inbound process?

a. An inbound delivery contains the information about the goods arrival, quantity of goods,
store and plant location. The system checks the combination of the plant and storage
location to check if the warehouse is in the EWM and then the system replicates an
inbound delivery notification in the EWM system.

22. What is the difference between WT & WO?

a. In SAP EWM, a warehouse order is a document that represents a work package that a
warehouse employee must accomplish within a certain amount of time. Warehouse tasks
 or physical inventory items make up the warehouse order. Warehouse tasks are created
when products are received, issued, transferred, or counted.

23. What are the control parameters to create the search strategy?
a. In these activity areas, different warehouse workers execute certain warehouse activities,
such as putaway or picking. You create activity-dependent bin sortings within an activity
area. Extended Warehouse Management (EWM) uses these bin sortings to optimize the
execution of warehouse tasks.

24. What is the difference between Staging area and Staging area group?
a. Staging areas are used for the interim storage of goods in the warehouse. They are located
in close proximity to the doors assigned to them. You can define staging areas for
different purposes and even simultaneously for multiple purposes: Goods receipt.

25. How queues will be determined?

a. Queues are used for transferring master and transactional data. Master data go via
APO(Advance Planner and optimizer) -CIF queue. and transaction data flow via Bipi -
Queue. Now it will be very clear as you have two system ecc and ewm. whenever all this
data flow and if there is disturbances then queues will be stuck

26. How to UPLOAD the stock?

a. Fill the HU & Product details and save file as CSV file.
b. Go to TCode: /SCWM/ISU, browse and select CSV file.
c. Click on Upload button.
d. Check the uploaded data.
e. Click on execute button, stock will be uploaded and posted to ERP.

27. explain the outbound process?

a. Outbound process is used to ship ordered goods to customers. this process starts with the
creation of a sales order and an outbound delivery. The outbound delivery is replicated to
the Embedded EWM system, where an outbound delivery order is created.

28. What is POSC AND LOSC and main difference of POSC AND LOSC?
a. Where POSC involves warehouse activities like unload, deconsolidate, VAS, putaway
and LOSC involves identifying and lifting of goods to mezzanine floors. EWM supports
to track and execute these multistep movements.

29. How to determine the Warehouse Process Type? What mandatory object to create wpt?
a. navigate to EWM → Cross Process Settings → Warehouse task → Define
warehouse process type.

b. Delivery priority ,Warehouse number, Document type, Quantity classification,

Warehouse process category.
30. What is the difference between PED and custodian?
a. An entity called 'Party Entitled to Dispose' (PETD) allows for having stock from one
system sat in a bin next to stock from another system. PETD also drives picking of the
correct stock to ensure there are no mistakes.

b. The custodian is the owner of the warehouse and the one who has the physical access to
the material (means he can hit is with a forklift). The owner is the owner of the stock,
means he is the one who can find the material in MMBE on plant and storage location
level (looking at in in ERP terms).

31. How to determine the posc?

a. Process Oriented Storage Control (POSC)

POSC during inbound process is used to map complex putaway processes to determine
the relevant process steps required and the sequence of the process steps. this lets you
track the overall process while having visibility to the execution of the individual process
steps.

32. How many Type of Physical Inventory? What are the different Physical Inventory
Procedures Supported in Sap System.
a. The Four Types of Physical Inventory Counts. There are four types of inventory
counts: manual, electronic, cycle counting and full inventory counting.

b. The SAP System supports the following physical inventory procedures: Periodic
inventory. Continuous inventory. Cycle counting.

33. What is Replenishment? Tell me the planned Replenishment process?

a. Replenishment is defined as the movement of goods from the warehouse to the shipment
locations. In SAP EWM, you can use predefined techniques for replenishment of storage
bins. There are different replenishment control fields defined at the storage type level or
storage bin level.

b. In planned replenishment the system calculates the replenishment in accordance with the
defined minimum quantity and maximum quantity. Replenishment control is triggered
when the stock is less than the minimum quantity.

34. What is the use of wocr? How it will be triggered?

a. SAP EWM Warehouse Order Creation Rules (WOCR) enable companies to classify
work better and optimize labor by setting up case-specific configurations in the process
steps. They are really helpful when it comes to organizing warehouse tasks in the optimal
way for picking or putaway warehouse processes.
 b. The system determines warehouse order creation rules based on the activity area and the
activity from the warehouse process type. As soon as SAP EWM applies a WO creation
rule, it sorts the warehouse tasks according to these sort rules.

35. To create a transfer order for moving partial stocks within a warehouse number, what are
the Transactions available?
a. There are two transactions available to create a transfer order for moving partial stocks
within a warehouse number: LT01 and LT10.
b. The SAP TCode LT01 is used for the task : Create Transfer Order. The TCode belongs to
the LVS package.

36. What Is the difference between presentation profile and personalization profile?
a. The RF framework supports both browser based and GUI devices to connect to the SAP
system. You can create screen templates and merge them to a so called display profile.
This display profile is assigned to the presentation device.

A group of presentation settings adjusted to meet the requirements of one or more

specific users.

37. What Is the Use of Rf Framework in Ewm System? What Are the Functions That Can
Be?
a. Performed Using Rf Framework?
b. In SAP EWM, RF stands for Radio Frequency Mobile Data Entry that allows real time
communication between the warehouse employees and the EWM system. The RF
framework supports both browser based and GUI devices to connect to the SAP system.
You can create screen templates and merge them to a so called display profile.

38. The SAP RF framework provides standard RF features, including the following:
Logon.
Logoff.
Recovery.
Work execution transactions for the following warehouse processes: Picking. Putaway.
Loading. Unloading. Deconsolidation. Packing. Physical Inventory. Replenishment.
Receiving. Maintaining Handling Units. Performing Floor Checks.

39. how determine the storage type search sequence?

a. The storage type search sequence contains the list of storage types that can be searched,
as per the sequence configured to determine the storage bins. If the storage type
 determined contains more than one storage section, the system proceeds to determine the
destination storage section.

40. What is wave process?

a. Within a warehouse management system, the same basic concept applies where multiple
orders are picked at once to save time. Warehouse operators first group orders together
into a "wave". These could be small, with only 2-5 orders, or massive, with 100+ orders
being simultaneously picked.

41. What is the difference between process codes and exception handling?
a. You can use exception handling to control the system's reaction to error codes that the
PLC reports in telegrams. Furthermore, you can specify the error codes that EWM can set
in the confirmation telegram to the PLC in the case of communication errors.

b. EWM adjusts the delivery quantity and saves a process code in the delivery. EWM
adjusts both the delivery quantity and the transferred delivery quantity, meaning EWM
performs a delivery split in the goods receipt process or goods issue process. EWM also
saves a process code in the delivery.

42. What is work center in warehouse? Where do you use Work Centers in Warehouse
processes?
a. The work center is a physical unit in the warehouse, in which you can perform warehouse
activities such as packing, distribution, or weighing.

b. A work center in a Warehouse is assigned to a storage type and a physical unit to perform
packing, deconsolidation or weighing activities. Storage type assigned to a work center
has a role of the work center, pick point or pick point and identification.

43. What is Value Added Services in Warehouse management?

a. The term value-added services refer to the additional distribution and warehousing
services offered by third-party logistics providers to business looking to outsource their
supply chain operations.

44. What is Slotting process in EWM? What are different parameters used in Slotting?
a. Slotting in SAP Extended Warehouse Management (EWM) is the process of
putting/arranging goods in a warehouse in a specific way, ensuring optimal storage and
picking of goods. Slotting utilizes a variety of data to determine suitable/relevant
putaway control parameters

Different Parameters of Slotting

Storage Requirement Data.
Product Data.
