What are some of the prerequisites to use a stock determination strategy for a material in inventory management? Note: There are 3 correct answers to this question.

Question

Options

• ACustomize a cross-application strategy for stock determination
• BAssign a stock determination strategy to the material type in Customizing
• CCustomize a stock determination rule and assign it to the storage type
• DAssign a stock determination rule to the business transaction in Customizing
• EAssign a stock determination group in the material master record

• A
  80% (28)
• B
  9% (3)
• C
  11% (4)

Explanation

Setting up stock determination requires three configuration layers working together. Option A is correct because you must first define a cross-application stock determination strategy in Customizing - this is the core logic that controls which stock type gets selected. Option D is correct because that strategy only activates when a stock determination rule is linked to a specific business transaction (e.g., a goods issue), telling the system when to apply the logic. Option E is correct because the material master must carry a stock determination group, which acts as the bridge connecting the individual material to the strategy defined in Customizing.

B is wrong because you don't assign a strategy to a material type - the link to material-level data happens through the stock determination group in the material master record (that's E, not B). C is wrong because storage types belong to Warehouse Management (WM) picking strategy configuration, not inventory management stock determination - rules are assigned to business transactions, not storage types.

Memory tip: Think S → R → G - Strategy (customize it in A), Rule → transaction (assign in D), Group → material master (assign in E). If you can picture those three connection points, you'll always know the correct prerequisites.
