Your customer has two warehouse numbers that share the same physical yard. How do you set up the yard to enable yard management.

Question

Options

• ADefine a storage type for a yard in both warehouse numbers, and connect the two storage types
• BDefine a storage type for a yard in one of the warehouse numbers, and connect the yard with
• CDefine a storage type for a yard in each warehouse number without any other settings.
• DDefine a storage type for a yard in each warehouse number, and connect the two storage types

• A
  7% (4)
• B
  73% (41)
• C
  16% (9)
• D
  4% (2)

Explanation

Option B is correct because a shared physical yard should be defined only once - in one warehouse number - and then referenced by the second warehouse number through a connection setting. This avoids treating a single physical space as two separate yard entities, which would cause conflicts in yard management.

Why the distractors fail:

• A is wrong because it defines a storage type in both warehouse numbers, duplicating the yard definition, which misrepresents a single shared space.
• C is wrong because defining a storage type in each warehouse number without a connection means both numbers manage the yard independently - the system has no knowledge of the shared physical reality.
• D is the most tempting distractor but is wrong: connecting two separately defined storage types is not how SAP EWM handles a shared yard; the connection must link the second warehouse number to the single yard defined in the first, not link two parallel definitions.

Memory tip: Think "one yard, one definition." If two warehouses share a yard, define it once and connect the other to it - like one parking lot that two buildings share: you don't build the same parking lot twice, you just give the second building access to the existing one.
