Indirect digital access occurs when humans, devices, or systems use the digital core indirectly through non-SAP intermediary software, such as a non-SAP front end, a custom-solution, or any other non-SAP application1. Indirect digital access is measured by the number of documents created, updated, or deleted in the SAP system as a result of the indirect use2. Examples of indirect digital access include:

• A Defect document created through an industry application: This is an example of indirect digital access because the industry application is a non-SAP software that triggers the creation of a document in the SAP system.
• A Time Sheet Record from a 3rd party application: This is also an example of indirect digital access because the 3rd party application is a non-SAP software that triggers the creation of a document in the SAP system.
• An unattended bot in SAP Build Process Automation: This is not an example of indirect digital access because the bot is using SAP software to access the SAP system directly, not through a non-SAP intermediary software.
• A Production Order created through a non-SAP front-end: This is not an example of indirect digital access because the production order is not a document type that is counted for indirect digital access. The document types that are counted are: Sales Order, Invoice, Purchase Order, Service and Maintenance Document, Manufacturing Document, Quality Management Document, Time Sheet, Financial Document, and Material Document2. References = Digital Access | SAP Help Portal, SAP Digital Access / SAP Digital Access Adoption Program (DAAP) Extension through December 31, 2021

Manual test cases for customer User Acceptance Testing are created in SAP Cloud ALM, a cloud-based application lifecycle management solution that supports SAP S/4HANA Cloud Public Edition implementations. SAP Cloud ALM provides test management apps that allow consultants to document and track all testing activities for both manual and automated test cases in one location. Manual test cases are created in the Test Preparation app based on the finalized solution scope (business processes) and assigned to test plans in the Test Plans app. SAP Cloud ALM also integrates with the SAP S/4HANA Cloud test system and third-party test providers to execute and monitor automated test cases. References = Preparing Test Cases for User Acceptance Testing, Explaining the Test Strategy, User acceptance testing templates

 The initial list of known integrations is documented in the Business Driven Configuration Questionnaire (BDCQ). The BDCQ is a tool that helps you to capture the business requirements and scope of your SAP S/4HANA Cloud Public Edition project. It contains a series of questions that cover different aspects of your business processes, such as organizational structure, master data, configuration settings, and integration scenarios. The BDCQ also provides guidance on the best practices and recommendations for your project12.

One of the sections in the BDCQ is the Integration section, where you can document the initial list of known integrations that are relevant for your project. The Integration section contains questions about the integration scenarios that you want to enable, such as cross-system process integration, data replication, data migration, and third-party integration. The Integration section also provides information on the available integration options, such as SAP Cloud Platform Integration, SAP API Business Hub, and SAP Cloud ALM13.

The initial list of known integrations is important for your project, as it helps you to identify the integration requirements, dependencies, and risks that need to be considered in the project planning and execution. The initial list of known integrations also helps you to select the appropriate integration tools and methods, and to align the integration scope with the SAP S/4HANA Cloud Public Edition roadmap and release cycles13.

Therefore, the correct answer is A, as the initial list of known integrations is documented in the BDCQ. References = 1 Business Driven Configuration Questionnaire - SAP Help Portal 2 Business Driven Configuration Questionnaire - SAP Community 3 SAP S/4HANA Cloud Public Edition Integration - SAP Help Portal

The IT Contact is the person who receives the welcome email from SAP and is responsible for setting up the initial access to SAP Cloud ALM. The IT Contact needs to eventually provide all project team members access to SAP Cloud ALM, but it’s most important the partner and customer project managers are given access first, because they are responsible for setting up the implementation project and assigning tasks to the other project team members1. The project manager is a partner role that has the authorization to create and manage projects in SAP Cloud ALM2. References = Setting up the Implementation Project in SAP Cloud ALM, Teams, Roles, and Access Restrictions | SAP Help Portal

In the context of SAP Cloud ALM (Application Lifecycle Management), the IT Contact is typically responsible for the initial setup and assignment of roles within the project. The first role to which the IT Contact often assigns access permission is:

• Project manager:The project manager plays a crucial role in overseeing the SAP project's planning, execution, and completion. By assigning access permission to the project manager first, the IT Contact ensures that the project manager has the necessary tools and insights to manage the project effectively within SAP Cloud ALM. This access allows the project manager to monitor project progress, manage resources, and make informed decisions, facilitating successful project execution and alignment with business goals.

Granting the project manager access to SAP Cloud ALM is a strategic decision that empowers them to lead the project efficiently, leveraging the platform's capabilities for project management, monitoring, and collaboration.

 The release code for SAP S/4HANA Cloud Public Edition follows the format YYYY.MM.X, where YYYY is the year, MM is the month, and X is the feature delivery number. The first feature delivery is always in February, and the second feature delivery is always in May. Therefore, the release code for the second feature delivery in February 2025 is 2502.2. References = Navigating Release Upgrades, SAP S/4HANA Cloud, Public Edition 2308 Release

• Sandbox system: This is an optional system that can be used to explore the SAP S/4HANA Cloud Public Edition capabilities and features before the implementation project starts. It is not connected to the starter system or the test system and does not have any data migration or configuration tools. It can be refreshed on demand by the customer1.
• Starter system: This is the first system that is provisioned for the customer after the contract is signed. It is used to perform the fit-to-standard workshops, where the customer validates the standard processes and identifies the gaps and requirements. It also serves as the configuration system, where the customer configures the business processes using the SAP Central Business Configuration tool. The starter system is connected to the test system and can transfer the configuration and master data to it2.
• Test system: This is the second system that is provisioned for the customer after the starter system is configured. It is used to perform the integration testing, user acceptance testing, data migration, and cutover activities. It also serves as the production system, where the customer runs the live business processes after the go-live. The test system is connected to the starter system and can receive the configuration and master data from it3.

The systems that are not used to implement SAP S/4HANA Cloud Public Edition for a customer are:

• Trial system: This is a system that can be used to experience the SAP S/4HANA Cloud Public Edition solution for a limited time. It is not connected to any other system and does not have any data migration or configuration tools. It is not part of the implementation project and does not require a contract4.
• Development system: This is a system that can be used to develop custom applications or extensions using the SAP Business Technology Platform. It is not part of the SAP S/4HANACloud Public Edition landscape and does not have any data migration or configuration tools. It requires a separate contract and license.

The following would prevent SAP from running a Post-Upgrade Test (PUT) on a customer’s behalf:

• An execution variant has not been maintained: An execution variant is a set of test data that is used to execute a test process. It contains the input values and expected results for each test step. If an execution variant is not maintained for a test process, the system cannot run the test automatically and will skip it1.
• The test process failed the execution pre-check: The execution pre-check is a validation that is performed before the test execution to ensure that the test process and the execution variant are consistent and complete. If the execution pre-check fails, it means that there are some issues or gaps in the test process or the execution variant that need to be resolved before the test can be run2.

The following would not prevent SAP from running a Post-Upgrade Test (PUT) on a customer’s behalf:

• Data marked for deletion is picked for execution: Data marked for deletion is data that is no longer relevant or valid for the test process. It can be marked for deletion by the customer or by SAP. However, this does not affect the test execution, as the system will ignore the data marked for deletion and use the available data for the test process3.
• The process steps have been reordered: The process steps are the individual actions that are performed as part of the test process. They can be reordered by the customer or by SAP to reflect the changes in the business process or the user interface. However, this does not affect the test execution, as the system will follow the order of the process steps as defined in the test process4.

 In the Realize phase of the SAP Activate Methodology, the project team uses a series of iterations to build and test a complete business and system environment based on the inputs from the previous steps. The activities in this phase include1:

• Receiving the systems from SAP
• Performing configuration in the Q-System using SAP Central Business Configuration
• Setting up manual test cases in SAP Cloud ALM
• Performing data loads and data migration
• Delivering key-user training
• Preparing for cutover and go-live Therefore, the correct answers are C and D, as they are part of the Realize phase activities. References = 1 SAP Activate – Explore Phase: Use Fit-to-Standard to Confirm Business Process Requirements - SAP Community

 Core Data Services (CDS) is a layer of SAP S/4HANA that provides a universal language to read and process data across different applications. CDS is based on SQL and extends it with domain-specific features and annotations. CDS views are reusable and can be consumed by various interfaces such as SAP Fiori, OData, or SQL. CDS views also enable the definition of semantic data models that expose the business logic and meaning of the underlying data sources. References = [SAP S/4HANA Cloud Public Edition - Introduction to Core Data Services], [SAP S/4HANA Cloud Public Edition - Core Data Services in SAPS/4HANA Cloud]

In different deployment models, the responsibility for application management varies, with the customer typically taking on more responsibility in certain models:

• Platform as a Service (PaaS):In this model, the customer is responsible for managing the applications they develop or deploy on the platform, even though the provider manages the underlying infrastructure, operating systems, and middleware.
• On premise:In an on-premise deployment, the customer has full responsibility for managing both the applications and the infrastructure they run on. This includes maintenance, updates, security, and compliance for both the applications and the hardware/software infrastructure.
• Private Cloud:Similar to on-premise deployments, customers in a private cloud model are typically responsible for managing their applications, including SAP S/4HANA Cloud Public Edition. The cloud provider may manage the cloud infrastructure and virtualization layer, but the customer often handles application-level management tasks, including updates, customization, and user management.

These deployment models contrast with Software as a Service (SaaS), where the service provider is generally responsible for managing the application, including its maintenance, updates, and availability.

For implementing SAP S/4HANA Cloud Public Edition for a customer, the following systems are commonly used:

• Sandbox system:This system is used in the very early stages of the project for exploration and trying out different configurations without affecting the development or production environments. It's a safe space for experimentation.
• Development system:This system is where the initial setup and customizations are made. Configuration changes, custom development, and extensions are carried out here before being moved to the test system for further testing.
• Test system:After configurations and developments are done in the development system, they are transported to the test system. This environment is used for rigorous testing to ensure that everything works as expected and to identify any issues before moving to the production environment.

These systems play crucial roles in the implementation process, allowing for a structured and phased approach to setting up, customizing, testing, and finally deploying SAP S/4HANA Cloud Public Edition.

The SAP Activate methodology outlines the phases for implementing SAP S/4HANA Cloud Public Edition. One crucial phase is the 'Explore' phase. During this phase, consultants work closely with the business to understand its processes and requirements through Fit-to-Standard workshops. These workshops are designed to identify the best fit of the standard SAP S/4HANA processes with the business's needs. It's a collaborative effort to explore the capabilities of SAP S/4HANA Cloud and configure the business processes accordingly. This phase is fundamental in ensuring that the solution is tailored to meet the specific needs of the business, setting the foundation for a successful implementation.

During the Fit-to-Standard workshops, an implementation consultant supports customer experts by doing the following:

• Demonstrate SAP Best Practice business processes in the starter system. The consultant shows the customer experts how the standard processes work in SAP S/4HANA Cloud Public Edition and how they fit their business needs1.
• Highlight areas that require configuration or customization decisions. The consultant identifies and documents the gaps between the standard processes and the customer requirements, and proposes solutions that are aligned with the cloud mindset1.

The other options are not the correct ways to support customer experts during the Fit-to-Standard workshops. Determining set up instructions for customer-driven integrations is done in the integration phase, after the Fit-to-Standard workshops are completed2. Conducting end-user training on active scope items is done in the deploy phase, before the go-live of the system3. References = Conducting Fit-to-Standard Workshops - SAP Learning, SAP S/4HANA Cloud Public Edition - Integration, Deploying SAP S/4HANA Cloud Public Edition.
