Explanation

For SAP's shelf life expiration date (SLED) check to trigger at goods receipt, two prerequisites must be in place: the SLED check must be activated for the movement type (e.g., movement type 101) in Customizing - without this switch, the system never initiates the check regardless of other settings - and the purchase order item must carry the remaining shelf life value, which gives the system a threshold to compare against the actual expiration date entered at receipt.

Why B is wrong: Shelf life data (minimum/total shelf life) lives in the material master (Plant Data/Storage view), not the purchasing info record. The info record holds pricing and source-of-supply data.

Why D is wrong: The SLED check is activated per movement type, not per material type. Material type controls things like account determination and procurement type, not shelf life checking behavior.

Memory tip: Think "Move the PO" - you need the Movement type configured and the PO item to carry the remaining shelf life. If either is missing, the check won't fire.
