Evaluation points are a key component of the putaway strategy in SAP Extended Warehouse Management (EWM). They are used to dynamically optimize the storage type search sequence. When EWM searches for a destination bin, it can evaluate multiple storage types defined in a search sequence. By assigning points based on criteria such as the product's weight, volume, or the travel distance to the storage type, the system calculates a score for each potential destination. The storage type with the most favorable score (e.g., the lowest number of penalty points) is then selected for putaway, effectively influencing the search sequence to find the most suitable storage location.

A. The assignment of a warehouse order to a resource is controlled by resource management settings, such as queues and resource groups, not evaluation points.

B. The sequence of picking items within a warehouse order is determined by sorting rules defined for warehouse order creation, not by evaluation points.

D. Warehouse efficiency is measured through the Warehouse Management Monitor and analytical tools using Key Performance Indicators (KPIs), not directly with evaluation points.

Storage Type Search: "For each storage type in the search sequence

you can define evaluation points for the following criteria: Weight

Volume

Travel distance... Extended Warehouse Management (EWM) uses these evaluation points to determine the most suitable storage type." (This documentation directly supports that evaluation points influence the storage type search sequence).
