Correct Answers:

1) a, b & c

Explanation:

You can specify a batch in the relevant detail screen for materials handled in batches (whether or not a material is handled in batches is indicated in the material master record in the “Storage 1” and “Purchasing” screens). When delivering 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 of the outbound delivery. 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 from different batches. You carry out batch split as follows:

1. Manually in the batch split screen of the delivery item.

2. Using automatic batch determination when creating the outbound delivery (this function must first be activated in the delivery item category.

3. Through manually triggered batch determination in the batch split screen

4. In Warehouse Management

You can assign a unique serial number to each material. This allows you to monitor goods movement for individual materials; for example, when selling materials to a customer. Using serial numbers you can also manage the maintenance of individual materials more easily in the system, if equipment master record exists for these materials. To use serial numbers, enter serial number profiles in the master for the relevant materials. Serial numbers are usually specified in the delivery item. However, you can also define them in the order.

You can also have serial numbers assigned automatically by the system. You must specify all serial numbers before posting goods issue.

2) b

Explanation:

Inbound deliveries can be created with reference to purchase orders. You can do this using several purchase orders, entire purchase orders, or just partial quantities of purchase order items. The inbound delivery then serves as the basis for further activities, such as transfer order creation, packing, and goods receipt posting. Inbound shipments are planned on the basis of inbound deliveries.

Purchase order items that are to be included when the inbound delivery is created must have a confirmation control key. The confirmation control key governs whether confirmations are relevant for goods receipt or materials planning. If a material document is to be created when the goods receipt posting for the inbound delivery is carried out, then the goods receipt assignment must be defined in the confirmation control.

3) a, c, d

Explanation:

We can use transaction LT0G which makes this easier. You can decide whether you want to return an entire delivery quantity to storage or only the quantity from individual transfer order items.

Regardless of whether you want to return all or some of the picked materials to storage, you can choose between the following options:

1. Return transfer of the picked quant to the picking bin

2. Putaway in another storage bin, possibly in another storage type

You can only put away the materials in another storage bin interactively (in the foreground) or let the system do it (in the background). If you choose background processing, the system searches for a storage type according the settings for the storage type search, and searches for a storge bin according to the putaway strategy that is valid for the storage type. If an error occurs, the system creates a log.

4) a, b

Explanation:

Two transactions are available to create a transfer order for moving partial stocks within a warehouse 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 from one storage bin. If you want to move the stock from entire storage section or picking sections in a storage type, or even all of the stock in a storage type, you should use the transaction Create Transfer Order from Stock List (RSL10034). In this program, you can select the quants you want to move and then enter the destination data. The system creates a separate transfer order for each quant.

Transfer order

You can use an inbound electronic data interchange (EDI) shipping notification from your vendor to create an inbound delivery. The message type for this is DESADV. You can create a delivery manually with reference to a particular order. You can use collective processing to deliver goods for all purchase orders that are due to be shipped. In this case, the system automatically creates multiple inbound deliveries. This can be done either online or in the background.
