What is the purpose of the custodian in the warehouse setup?

Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer: C

Comprehensive and Detailed In-Depth Explanation:

The custodian in SAP EWM manages stock ownership without title transfer, often in consignment scenarios. Option C ('The custodian processes stock without transfer of title') is correct, as defined in the stock attributes and configured in SPRO: SCM Extended Warehouse Management > Master Data > Define Custodian. Options A (putaway strategy), B (Supply Chain Unit), and D (legal possession) are incorrect as they misalign with the custodian's role, which is operational rather than strategic or legal.

Nope, they have legal possession of the stock, not just processing!

I’m a bit confused; I thought the custodian was mainly for processing stock, but now I’m not sure if that means without transfer of title or something else entirely.

I feel like the custodian is more about legal possession of stock, but I also recall something about it replacing the Supply Chain Unit.

I remember practicing a question about the custodian's role, and I think it might be about determining the putaway strategy, but I could be mixing it up with something else.

I'm pretty confident the custodian has legal possession of the stock, so I'll go with option D. The custodian seems to be the one in charge of the warehouse operations.

Okay, let's see. I believe the custodian is responsible for the physical handling and storage of the stock, without actually owning the title to the goods. That sounds like option C to me.
