AThe custodian is used for the determination of the putaway strategy

Show Suggested 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.

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.

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.
