SAP C_TS410_2022 SAP Certified Application Associate - Business Process Integration with SAP S/4HANA Exam Practice Test

During the goods receipt process, the general ledger accounts that receive postings include:

• Consumption account (C): When goods are received for consumption (e.g., for a cost center, project, or order), the consumption account is debited to reflect the increase in expenses related to the consumed materials.
• GR/IR account (D): The Goods Receipt/Invoice Receipt (GR/IR) account is a temporary account used in the procurement process. It is credited during the goods receipt to record the obligation to pay the supplier, balancing the entry in the consumption account or asset account.
• The Vendor reconciliation account (A)is affected when the invoice is posted, not at the goods receipt stage.
• The Tax Account (B)may be affected if the goods receipt involves taxable goods, but it is not one of the primary accounts affected by the goods receipt process itself.

When posting an invoice for the purchase of a company car, the journal entry typically involves the following accounts:

• Supplier account (A): This account is credited to record the liability to the supplier for the purchase of the car.
• Asset account (B): This account is debited to reflect the addition of the company car as a fixed asset in the company's balance sheet.
• Tax account (D): If the purchase involves sales tax or VAT, this account is also debited to record the tax component of the car's purchase.
• A Material account (C)is typically used for inventory items and consumables, not for capital assets like company cars.
• A Customer account (E)is used for recording transactions with customers, such as sales, and is not relevant to the purchase of an asset from a supplier.

Availability Control (A) is the function that commits funds assigned to the budget of a WBS (Work Breakdown Structure) element. It monitors budget consumption and can issue warnings or prevent further postings when budget limits are exceeded, ensuring that project spending stays within approved budgets.References= SAP Project System (PS) documentation and financial controls guides.

During an overall completion confirmation of a maintenance order in SAP, the following elements are recorded:

• Time entry (A): The actual time spent on the maintenance activities is recorded, providing data for labor cost calculation and productivity analysis.
• Measuring documents (B): These capture measurements and readings from equipment before, during, and after maintenance, contributing to equipment history and performance analysis.
• Materials (D): The materials used during the maintenance work are recorded, ensuring accurate inventory management and cost allocation.
• An Availability check (C)is part of the planning and preparation for maintenance work but is not typically an element recorded during the completion confirmation.
• Invoicing (E)is related to the billing process for external services and is not an element recorded during the overall completion confirmation of internal maintenance orders.

SAP Extended Warehouse Management (EWM) offers a wide range of functionalities to optimize warehouse operations. Among these, two key functions are:

• Mobile device integration (B): SAP EWM provides robust support for mobile devices, which facilitates real-time data entry and retrieval in warehouse operations. This integration allows warehouse staff to perform various tasks such as goods receipt, picking, and inventory counts directly from the warehouse floor, enhancing efficiency and accuracy.
• Storage-bin-level determination for incoming goods (C): SAP EWM is capable of determining the optimal storage bin for incoming goods based on various criteria such as product dimensions, weight, and storage conditions. This feature ensures efficient use of warehouse space and streamlines the putaway process.
• Putaway with transfer orders (A)is more associated with the Warehouse Management (WM) system, which is the predecessor of EWM. In EWM, the concept is advanced with more detailed processes and functionalities.
• Inventory management at the storage location level (D)is typically managed in the Inventory Management (IM) component of SAP, rather than in EWM, which operates at a more granular bin level within the warehouse.

• Technical Completion of Maintenance Order:When a maintenance order is set to technically completed (TECO), it signifies that the physical work is finished, but there might still be administrative tasks to complete.
• Effects of TECO:

When creating a new company code to assign to a group controlling area, the new company code must share the same Fiscal Year Variant (A) and Operating Chart of Accounts (B) with the other company codes already assigned to the controlling area. This ensures consistency in financial reporting and accounting practices across the organization.References= SAP Financial Accounting (FI) and Controlling (CO) documentation and setup guides.

During the production order process, steps that can be executed via background processing include Order Release (A), Order Settlement (B), and Order Creation (E). Background processing automates these steps, enhancing efficiency by allowing batch processing of multiple orders, which is especially useful in large-scale production environments.References= SAP Production Planning (PP) documentation and best practices guides.

• Demand-Driven MRP (DDMRP):DDMRP is an innovative planning method that combines aspects of traditional MRP, Lean, and Six Sigma to strategically position inventory buffers to meet customer demand while minimizing lead times and variability.
• Key Features of DDMRP:
• Implementation in SAP:SAP S/4HANA incorporates DDMRP capabilities, allowing businesses to implement this approach for more responsive and efficient supply chain management.

In SAP S/4HANA, activity prices are planned for cost centers (A). Cost centers are organizational units within a company that are responsible for specific areas of cost. Planning activity prices for cost centers involves determining the cost per activity unit for various activities performed within the cost center. This is crucial for internal cost allocations, budgeting, and controlling processes.

• Work centers (B)are primarily used in production planning and plant maintenance for scheduling, capacity planning, and costing. Activity prices in work centers are more about determining the cost rates for machine and labor hours used in production processes.
• WBS (Work Breakdown Structure) elements (C)are used in project systems for planning and tracking project costs and do not directly use activity prices for planning.
• Internal orders (D)are used for monitoring costs for non-operational activities and projects. While they can capture costs from various activities, the planning of activity prices is not directly applicable to internal orders.

• SAP S/4HANA and the Intelligent Enterprise:SAP S/4HANA supports integrated business processes that help organizations operate as Intelligent Enterprises, enhancing efficiency and insights across various domains.
• Key Business Processes:
• Integration in SAP S/4HANA:These processes are seamlessly integrated within SAP S/4HANA, leveraging its real-time data processing capabilities to optimize and automate operations, providing comprehensive analytics and insights.

A posting key in SAP controls Debit/Credit Posting (A) and the Account Type (D) involved in a transaction. Posting keys are fundamental to defining the nature of the transaction and the type of accounts (such as vendor, customer, or GL account) that can be posted to.References= SAP Financial Accounting (FI) documentation and user guides.

Selection modes for running MRP in SAP include MRP Live (A), Classical MRP (C), and Regenerative MRP (D). These modes offer different approaches to material requirements planning, from real-time processing in MRP Live to comprehensive re-planning in Regenerative MRP.References= SAP Material Management (MM) and Production Planning (PP) documentation.

Backorder Processing is considered when the Order Quantity is Not Fully Confirmed (B). This process involves reallocating available stock to prioritize important orders, ensuring that critical orders are fulfilled as quickly as possible, even in situations where inventory levels are insufficient to meet all demand immediately.References= SAP Sales and Distribution (SD) and Advanced Planning and Optimization (APO) documentation.

When you create an equipment master record in SAP, it is possible to automatically create an Asset master record (C) linked to that piece of equipment. This integration allows for seamless asset management, enabling financial tracking and depreciation calculations for the equipment as a fixed asset within the organization's asset accounting processes.

• A Functional Location (A)represents the place where an equipment is installed and is not automatically created from an equipment master but rather associated with it.
• A Material (B)record represents items that can be procured, stored, and sold and is not automatically created from an equipment master.
• A Maintenance BOM (Bill of Materials) (D)details the components that make up a piece of equipment or assembly but must be created separately and then associated with the equipment.

Converting a planned order can result in the creation of a Purchase Requisition (B) for externally procured materials or a Production Order (D) for in-house manufactured items. This step is crucial in the procurement and production planning process, initiating the procurement or manufacturing of required materials.References= SAP Material Management (MM) and Production Planning (PP) documentation.

• Commitments and Internal Orders:In SAP, a commitment represents an obligation to make a future payment. When a purchase order is issued, it creates a commitment against the associated internal order.
• Impact of Purchase Orders:
• Creating and Managing Commitments:

When creating condition master records, the Condition Type controls several data properties, including Scales (A) and Validity Period (B). Scales allow for the definition of quantity or value-dependent pricing, while the Validity Period defines the time frame during which the condition record is active and applicable.References= SAP Sales and Distribution (SD) configuration and master data management documentation.

• Product Cost Planning in SAP:Product cost planning involves calculating the costs associated with manufacturing a product, which requires a detailed understanding of the quantity structure of the product.
• Key Master Data Elements:
• Usage in Cost Calculation:Both routing and BOM are used in product cost planning to determine the quantity structure, which is the basis for calculating the cost of materials, labor, and overheads associated with producing a product.

The introduction of the Business Partner concept in SAP S/4HANA brings several benefits, including:

• Redundant data is reduced (B): By using a single business partner object to represent different roles (e.g., customer, supplier), SAP S/4HANA reduces data redundancy and ensures consistency across different transactions and modules.
• Data architecture is harmonized (C): The business partner framework harmonizes the data model across applications, leading to simplified data maintenance and integration, and providing a unified view of business partners.
• Vendors being managed separately from customers (A)is not a benefit of the business partner concept; rather, it unifies the management of different roles, including vendors and customers, under a single framework.
• General data being unique to each assigned role (D)is not accurate; the general data (e.g., name, address) is shared across roles, enhancing data consistency.

Document splitting in SAP S/4HANA results in the creation of additional financial documents (D). This feature enhances the granularity of financial reporting by enabling the assignment of financial line items to specific segments, profit centers, or other dimensions. Document splitting ensures that each transaction is fully balanced within each of these dimensions, providing a more detailed and accurate view of the financial statements at these levels.

• Additional logistical documents (A)are not created as a result of document splitting, as it is primarily a financial accounting process.
• Additional controlling documents (B)are not directly created by document splitting; however, the detailed financial information resulting from document splitting can enhance controlling and cost analysis.
• Additional values (C)refers to the creation of more detailed financial data within existing documents, rather than the creation of new documents.

• Segment Reporting and Profit Centers:For segment reporting in SAP, a profit center is used to track the financial performance of different business segments. Linking a cost center to a profit center allows for detailed financial analysis and segment reporting.

In SAP, a work center is an organizational unit that defines where and by what means production operations or activities are carried out. It controls:

• Availability of capacity (A): Work centers are used to plan and monitor the capacity of machines, production lines, or employees, ensuring that production can meet demand without overloading resources.
• Calculation of costs of work performed (B): Work centers are associated with cost rates for machine and labor hours, which are used to calculate the costs of operations performed at the work center, contributing to product costing and profitability analysis.
• Release of production orders (C)is a function of production planning and control, not directly controlled by work centers.
• Valuation of bill of material components (D)is related to material costing and is not a function controlled by work centers.
