NEW QUESTION # 34
For production orders, cost object controlling (COC) can be carried out on an order-related or product- related basis. Which of the following do you have to consider?
Note: There are 2 correct answers to this question.
- A. Product-related COC is used in manufacturing for co-products
- B. In order-related COC, individual production orders do NOT have cost segments.
- C. Order-related COC is beneficial in a flexible production environment
- D. In pro duct-related COC, all costs are debited and credited to a product cost collector.
Answer: A,D
Explanation:
The difference between order-related and product-related COC is mainly in the level of cost object that is used to collect and analyze the costs of production. In order-related COC, each production order is a cost object that carries its own plan, target, and actual costs. In product-related COC, a product cost collector is a cost object that aggregates the costs of multiple production orders for the same product or product variant. The advantages and disadvantages of each approach depend on the production scenario and the reporting requirements. Some of the factors to consider are:
In product-related COC, all costs are debited and credited to a product cost collector. This means that the production orders linked to the product cost collector do not have any cost segments and do not show any variances. The product cost collector is used for variance calculation and settlement. This simplifies the cost accounting process and reduces the number of cost objects to be managed. However, this also means that the cost details of individual production orders are not available for analysis. Product-related COC is suitable for mass production of standard products with low variance and high volume12.
Order-related COC is beneficial in a flexible production environment where each production order has different characteristics, such as lot size, routing, material components, or quality specifications.
Order-related COC allows for a detailed analysis of the cost and performance of each production order and enables a more accurate allocation of overhead costs. However, order-related COC also requires more effort and resources to maintain and process the cost segments and variances of each production order. Order-related COC is suitable for make-to-order or engineer-to-order scenarios where each production order is unique and customized12.
Product-related COC is used in manufacturing for co-products, which are products that are produced simultaneously from the same production process and have a relatively high sales value. Co-products share the joint costs of the production process based on a predefined apportionment structure.
Product-related COC allows for a consistent and transparent allocation of the joint costs to the co-products and avoids the problem of negative variances that may occur in order-related COC. Product-related COC is suitable for process industries where co-products are common, such as chemical, pharmaceutical, or food industries34.

NEW QUESTION # 36
Mode selection is one of the scheduling options available with Advanced Planning in SAP S/4HANA. When can you use mode selection?
- A. When multiple production versions are maintained for one product
- B. When alternative resources are used within one operation
- C. When multiple planned orders exist on one resource
- D. When multiple operations are maintained for one product
Answer: B
Explanation:
Mode selection is a feature that allows the system to choose the best mode for an activity based on the mode priority and the available capacity of the resources. A mode is a combination of a resource and a formula that determines the duration and quantity of an activity. An operation can have multiple activities, each with multiple modes. Mode selection can be used when an operation contains several activities, each of which is assigned several modes for different resources, and the system needs to determine which resource to use for each activity. Mode selection can also be used when an activity hasseveral modes for the same resource, and the system needs to determine which formula to use for the activity. Mode selection can be performed during the planning explosion or during the interactive planning. References: Mode Selection | SAP Help Portal, Mode Selection | SAP Help Portal

NEW QUESTION # 40
You use planning strategy Finite Scheduling with Reverse and want to allow scheduling the past. How can you parameterize this in the strategy profile?
- A. Specify a negative offset time.
- B. Specify a negative planning horizon.
- C. Specify a positive planning horizon.
- D. Specify a positive offset time.
Answer: A
Explanation:
The planning strategy Finite Scheduling with Reverse allows you to schedule production orders backwards from the requested delivery date, taking into account the available capacity and material constraints. To allow scheduling the past, you need to specify a negative offset time in the strategy profile. The offset time defines how far in the past the system can schedule the production order start date. For example, if you specify an offset time of -5 days, the system can schedule the production order start date up to 5 days before the current date. This can help you to avoid late deliveries and reduce lead times.

NEW QUESTION # 41
Which time elements does MRP consider in backward scheduling to determine the order dates for components from dependent requirements?
Note: There are 2 correct answers to this question
- A. Operation duration
- B. Total replenishment lead time
- C. Planned delivery time
- D. In-house production time
Answer: A,D
Explanation:
Backward scheduling is a method of determining the order dates for components from dependent requirements by starting from the requirement date of the finished product and working backwards through the production structure. Backward scheduling considers the following time elements:
Operation duration: This is the time required to perform an operation on a resource, such as a work center or a machine. Operation duration is influenced by various factors, such as the quantity, the lot size, the setup time, the processing time, the teardown time, and the operation scrap. Operation duration is subtracted from the requirement date of the finished product to determine the start date of the operation.
In-house production time: This is the time required to produce a material in-house, from the start of the first operation to the end of the last operation. In-house production time is influenced by various factors, such as the routing, the work center, the production version,and the scheduling margin key. In-house production time is subtracted from the start date of the first operation to determine the order start date of the material.
Backward scheduling does not consider the following time elements:
Total replenishment lead time: This is the time required to procure a material externally, from the creation of the purchase requisition to the receipt of the goods. Total replenishment lead time is influenced by various factors, such as the planned delivery time, the goods receipt processing time, the release time, and the scheduling margin key. Total replenishment lead time is used in forward scheduling, not backward scheduling, to determine the order dates for externally procured materials.
Planned delivery time: This is the time required to deliver a material from the vendor to the receiving plant. Planned delivery time is maintained in the purchasing info record or the material master record.
Planned delivery time is a component of the total replenishment lead time, which is used in forward scheduling, not backward scheduling, to determine the order dates for externally procured materials.

NEW QUESTION # 42
Your production planners must execute planning only for specific resources. How can you achieve this in Advanced Planning (PP/DS)?
- A. Use a planning group.
- B. Use a resource group
- C. Use a propagation range.
- D. Use a planning area.
Answer: B
Explanation:
You can achieve planning only for specific resources in Advanced Planning (PP/DS) by using a resource group. A resource group is a collection of resources that share the same characteristics and can be used interchangeably for production. You can assign a resource group to a product or a production version, and then use the resource group as a selection criterion in the planning board or the product view. This way, you can restrict the planning to only those resources that belong to the resource group. References: SAP S/4HANA Manufacturing for Planning & Scheduling - Implementation Guide, page 25; [SAP S/4HANA Production Planning and Manufacturing Certification Guide], page 79.
NEW QUESTION # 43
Your project uses process orders for the production of liquid chemicals. What can you define to ensure that production flow only happens in suitable and physically connected tanks? Note: There are 2 correct answers to this question.
- A. Resource network
- B. Resource matrix
- C. Resource selection
- D. Resource hierarchy
Answer: A,C
Explanation:
A resource network is a business object in PP/DS that defines the allowed directed connections between two or more resources. A directed connection means that the connection from Resource 1 to Resource 2 is not the same as the inverse connection from Resource 2 to Resource 1. You use this object to model existing production constraints more precisely, with the objective of creating a finite and technically feasible production schedule. Resource networks simplify the modeling of resource restrictions for consecutive operations or orders1 A resource selection is a business object in PP/DS that defines the criteria for selecting a suitable resource for an operation or an order. You use this object to specify the characteristics, attributes, and capacities of the resources that can be used for a particular production process. Resource selection allows you to optimize the resource utilization and reduce the setup times and costs2 A resource matrix is a business object in PP/DS that defines the relationships between different resources based on their characteristics and attributes. You use this object to determine the setup times and costs for changing from one resource to another. Resource matrix allows you to model the setup effort and expense more accurately and improve the production efficiency3 A resource hierarchy is a business object in PP/DS that defines the structure and sequence of resources that are used for a production process. You use this object to represent the logical and physical dependencies of the resources and to control the scheduling and sequencing of the operations or orders. Resource hierarchy allows you to model the production flow and capacity more realistically and ensure the technical feasibility of the production plan.

NEW QUESTION # 46
What does the material type influence?
Note: There are 2 correct answers to this question.
- A. Which plant-specific and plant-independent statuses are allowed
- B. Which material master screens appear and in which sequence
- C. Whether the material is produced in-house, procured externally, or both
- D. Which document types and class categories are allowed
Answer: C,D
Explanation:
The material type is a key attribute that classifies materials according to their characteristics and determines how they are processed in the system. The material type influences the following aspects of material management:
Which material master screens appear and in which sequence: The material type controls which fields are required, optional, or hidden in the material master record. It also determines the order in which the screens are displayed when creating or changing a material master record. Different material types may have different views and fields depending on the business requirements. For example, a raw material may have a purchasing view, while a finished product may have a sales view.
Whether the material is produced in-house, procured externally, or both: The material type defines the procurement type of the material, which indicates how the material is procured. The procurement type can be in-house production, external procurement, or both. The procurement type affects the planning and execution of the material requirements. For example, a material with in-house production procurement type will generate planned orders, while a material with external procurement type will generate purchase requisitions or schedule lines.
The material type does not influence the following aspects of material management:
Which document types and class categories are allowed: The document type is a key attribute that classifies documents according to their business purpose and determines how they are processed in the system. The document type controls the number range, field selection, and status profile of the document. The document type is independent of the material type and can be used for any material type.
For example, a purchase order document type can be used for any material type that is procured externally. The class category is a key attribute that classifies classes according to their application area and determines how they are processed in the system. The class category controls the characteristics, object types, and inheritance rules of the class. The class category is independent of the material type and can be used for any material type. For example, a material class category can be used for any material type that has characteristics.
Which plant-specific and plant-independent statuses are allowed: The status is an attribute that indicates the current condition of an object in the system. The status can be plant-specific or plant-independent, depending on whether it applies to a specific plant or to all plants. The status is independent of the material type and can be used for any material type. For example, a material can have a plant-specific status of blocked for quality reasons, or a plant-independent status of discontinued.

NEW QUESTION # 47
Which time elements can be reduced by a reduction strategy?
Note: There are 3 correct answers to this question.
- A. Float after production
- B. Goods receipt processing time
- C. Move time
- D. Wait time
- E. Queue time
Answer: C,D,E
Explanation:
A reduction strategy is a method of shortening the lead time of an order by reducingcertain time elements in the order scheduling1. The time elements that can be reduced by a reduction strategy are move time, wait time, and queue time2. Move time is the time required to move a material from one operation to another. Wait time is the time between the end of an operation and the start of the next operation. Queue time is the time before an operation can start at a work center due to the work center's capacity utilization3. These time elements can be reduced by a percentage or a fixed value in the reduction strategy.

NEW QUESTION # 48
You want to trigger in-house production of a semi-finished material before a sales order for the corresponding finished good is received. Which planning strategy supports the consumption of planned independent requirements for the semi-finished material?
- A. Planning at assembly level (70)
- B. Production by lot size (30)
- C. Planning with final assembly (40)
- D. Make-to-order production (20)
Answer: C
Explanation:
Planning with final assembly (40) is a planning strategy that supports the consumption of planned independent requirements for the semi-finished material. This strategy is usedwhen the production of the finished product is triggered by the sales order, but the production of the semi-finished product is not. The semi-finished product is produced in advance based on the forecast and stored in stock. When the sales order is received, the planned independent requirements for the finished product are reduced by the sales order quantity, and the planned independent requirements for the semi-finished product are reduced by the corresponding component quantity. This way, the semi-finished product is consumed by the sales order and the production order for the finished product only requires the assembly of the components. This strategy allows for a shorter lead time and a higher flexibility for the finished product, while reducing the risk of excess stock for the semi-finished product.

NEW QUESTION # 49
Which master data object governs the relationship between supply source and demand source in the Kanban process?
- A. Replenishment strategy
- B. Rate routing
- C. Production supply area
- D. Control cycle
Answer: D
Explanation:
The control cycle is the master data object that governs the relationship between supply source and demand source in the Kanban process. The control cycle defines the following data for Kanban production:
The number of Kanban containers and the quantity per container or per call item The basic data required for automatic Kanban calculation, if necessary The replenishment strategy, which determines how the supply source replenishes the demand source, such as in-house production, external procurement, stock transfer, or assembly The print control, which determines how the Kanban cards are printed, if necessary The delivery address, which determines where the Kanban containers are delivered, if necessary The process control, which determines the status sequence, the goods movement, the packing instruction, and the production call profile, if necessary1 The control cycle is created and maintained using the app Manage Kanban Control Cycles or the transaction PKMC. The control cycle is assigned to a material and a plant, and can be split into different segments for different supply sources or demand sources2.
The other options are not correct for the following reasons:
Replenishment strategy (A): This is not a master data object, but a field in the control cycle that specifies the type of replenishment for the Kanban process. The replenishment strategy can be in-house production, external procurement, stock transfer, or assembly1.
Production supply area (B): This is a master data object that represents a physical or logical area where materials are supplied for production. A production supply area can be assigned to a material, a work center, or a production line. A production supply area is not directly related to the Kanban process, but it can be used to group materials or work centers for planning or reporting purposes3.
Rate routing (D): This is a master data object that defines the sequence of operations and the work centers for producing a material in repetitive manufacturing. A rate routing canbe assigned to a material and a production version. A rate routing is not directly related to the Kanban process, but it can be used to calculate the production rate and the lead time for in-house production.

Note: There are 2 correct answers to this question.
- A. Selection screen for plants
- B. Product type
- C. Base unit of measure
- D. Selection screen for views
Answer: B,C
Explanation:
When you create a product master in SAP S/4HANA, you need to enter values for mandatory fields such as product number, product type, base unit of measure, and description. The product type determines the category of the product, such as material, service, or article. The base unit of measure defines the unit in which you manage the product in all business transactions. The selection screen for views and plants are optional fields that allow you to choose which views and plants you want to maintain for the product master.
