C_TS452_2022 Practice Exam Questions with Answers SAP Certified Application Associate - SAP S/4HANA Sourcing and Procurement Certification

A blanket purchase order is the best suited type of purchasing document for this purpose. A blanket purchase order is a long-term agreement with a vendor for several minor repairs that may occur over a period of time. You can specify an overall limit value for the blanket purchase order and enter the account assignment information without specifying any material or quantity details. References: SAP S/4HANA Sourcing and Procurement | SAP Learning, Course S4520, Unit 2, Lesson 1.

To prevent certain materials that belong to a material group from being ordered with reference to a contract item, you can use the following method:

• Create material-specific source lists for the contract item and set the Fix indicator, which means that you specify the materials that are allowed to be ordered with reference to the contract item and make them mandatory. References: SAP S/4HANA Sourcing and Procurement | SAP Learning, Course S4520, Unit 2, Lesson 1.

The confirmation control key determines the sequence of required confirmations and whether a confirmation is a prerequisite for a goods receipt. It also controls the output type and the transmission medium for the confirmations1 References: SAP Help Portal - Confirmation Control Key

The different types of SAP Fiori apps are analytical, fact sheet, and transactional. Analytical apps provide real-time insights into key performance indicators, fact sheet apps display contextual information and key facts about central objects, and transactional apps allow users to perform transactions or change settings. KPI report and interactive are not valid types of SAP Fiori apps. References: [SAP Help Portal - Types of SAP Fiori Apps]

Purchase-order-based invoice verification is a process of verifying and posting an invoice with reference to a purchase order. Some key features of this process are:

• The system proposes the quantity to be invoiced as the difference between the total delivered quantity and the total quantity already invoiced. This ensures that you do not pay more than what you have received.
• Partial deliveries for a purchase order item are NOT flagged as individual invoice items. This means that you can post one invoice for multiple partial deliveries of the same purchase order item. References: [SAP S/4HANA Sourcing and Procurement | SAP Learning], Course S4515, Unit 1, Lesson 1.

To define field attributes for a business partner, you can use the following influencing factors:

• Activity, which determines whether you are creating or changing a business partner.
• Account group, which defines the number range and field selection for a business partner.
• Business partner role, which defines the functions and relationships of a business partner. References: SAP S/4HANA Sourcing and Procurement | SAP Learning, Course S4500, Unit 1, Lesson 1.

Document parking is a function that allows you to save incomplete or incorrect documents temporarily without carrying out any postings or checks. You can use document parking in the following situations:

• Account assignment information is missing for an invoice item, which means that you do not know how to allocate the costs for the invoice item to an account assignment object such as cost center or order.
• An EDI invoice containing variances is received, which means that there are differences between the invoice data and the purchase order or goods receipt data that need to be resolved before posting the invoice. References: [SAP S/4HANA Sourcing and Procurement | SAP Learning], Course S4515, Unit 1, Lesson 1.

To enable the system to check the shelf life of materials at goods receipt, you must meet the following prerequisites:

• The purchase order item contains the remaining shelf life, which is the minimum number of days that a material must be usable after goods receipt.
• The shelf life expiration date check is activated for the movement type in Customizing, which means that the system will compare the remaining shelf life in the purchase order with the total shelf life in the material master and reject the goods receipt if it does not meet the requirement. References: SAP S/4HANA Sourcing and Procurement | SAP Learning, Course S4510, Unit 2, Lesson 1.

An open item on the GR/IR clearing account indicates a difference between the goods receipt and the invoice receipt for a purchase order item. This can occur when the invoiced quantity is more than the delivered quantity (over-invoicing) or when the delivered quantity is more than the invoiced quantity (under-invoicing). References: SAP S/4HANA Sourcing and Procurement | SAP Learning, Course S4515, Unit 1, Lesson 1.

The field that you can use to prevent a discontinued material from being procured is Material Status. This field allows you to block or restrict certain functions for a material, such as purchasing, production, sales, etc. You can define different material statuses in Customizing and assign them to materials in the material master record. For example, you can define a material status that blocks purchasing and sales for a material and assign it to a discontinued material. This way, you can prevent any further procurement or sales of that material.

A goods issue posting to a production order allocates actual costs to the production order and reduces the inventory of the issued materials. A goods issue can be posted as a backflush, which means that the system automatically issues the components that are required for production based on the bill of material (BOM) and the quantity produced. References: SAP S/4HANA Sourcing and Procurement | SAP Learning, Course S4510, Unit 3, Lesson 1.

A document type in purchasing is a classification of purchasing documents (such as purchase orders, contracts, requests for quotation, etc.) that defines some basic characteristics and controls for each document. Some of the aspects that you can control with a document type are:

• Reference to purchase requisitions, which means that you can specify whether a purchasing document can be created with reference to a purchase requisition or not.
• Number range, which means that you can define the number interval and the number assignment (internal or external) for each purchasing document.
• Item number interval, which means that you can define the increment and the length of the item numbers for each purchasing document. References: [SAP Help Portal], [SAP Help Portal], [SAP Help Portal]

To determine the safety stock during automatic reorder point planning, the system requires the following data:

• Service level, which is the probability of avoiding a stockout situation during the replenishment lead time.
• Mean absolute deviation, which is a measure of the forecast accuracy based on the historical consumption data.
• Replenishment lead time, which is the time required to procure or produce a material. References: SAP S/4HANA Sourcing and Procurement | SAP Learning, Course S4525, Unit 1, Lesson 1.

To have MRP generate a procurement proposal for 1000 pieces for each supplier, you must maintain the following:

• Set a maximum lot size in the quota arrangement item and activate the lx checkbox, which means that MRP will split the total requirement quantity according to the quota allocation and create one procurement proposal per quota arrangement item.
• Set a maximum quota quantity in the quota arrangement item for each supplier, which limits the total quantity that can be procured from each supplier within a validity period. References: SAP S/4HANA Sourcing and Procurement | SAP Learning, Course S4525, Unit 1, Lesson 1.

The Freeze Book Inventory indicator in a physical inventory document header fixes the book inventory in the physical inventory document at the beginning of the count. This means that any goods movements that occur after the count date are not reflected in the book inventory quantity. References: SAP S/4HANA Sourcing and Procurement | SAP Learning, Course S4510, Unit 5, Lesson 1.

You maintain the purchasing value key in the material master at plant level. The purchasing value key contains parameters that influence the purchasing process for a material, such as order unit, rounding value, minimum order quantity, and delivery tolerance. References: SAP S/4HANA Sourcing and Procurement | SAP Learning, Course S4520, Unit 3, Lesson 2.

When posting an invoice with a cash discount amount using the posting gross method, the cash discount amount is posted to a cash discount clearing account, which is cleared at the time of payment. The posting gross method means that the invoice amount is posted in full to the vendor account and the cash discount clearing account, regardless of whether the payment is made within the cash discount period or not. References: SAP S/4HANA Sourcing and Procurement | SAP Learning, Course S4515, Unit 3, Lesson 1.

The conditions in an already created purchasing info record can be automatically updated by selecting the Info Update indicator when maintaining a quotation from a vendor. This indicator tells the system to update or create purchasing info records with the conditions from the quotation when saving it. The other options do not update the conditions in an existing purchasing info record, as they either create new purchasing info records or do not affect them at all. References: [SAP Help Portal], [SAP Community]

A subcontracting procurement process involves sending components to a vendor who provides a service and returns an assembled or processed product. Some features of this process are:

• You can maintain the components to be provided in a bill of material (BOM), which specifies the quantity and type of components required for each finished product.
• You can have subcontracting purchase requisitions created by MRP (material requirements planning), which calculates the demand for finished products and components based on various planning parameters.
• You can customize the control parameters for the subcontracting item category (L), which determines whether a goods receipt or an invoice receipt is required, whether account assignment is possible, and whether a material number is mandatory. References: SAP S/4HANA Sourcing and Procurement | SAP Learning, Course S4520, Unit 4, Lesson 1.

MRP Live is a planning run that is executed on SAP HANA database using optimized algorithms and parallel processing. It can create two types of procurement proposals for externally procured materials:

• Delivery schedule line: This is a line item in a scheduling agreement that specifies the delivery date and quantity for a material.
• Purchase requisition: This is an internal document that requests the purchasing department to procure a certain quantity of a material or service by a certain date. References: SAP S/4HANA Sourcing and Procurement | SAP Learning, Course S4525, Unit 1, Lesson 1.

The account assignment category determines whether you can change the account assignment data for a consumable material during invoice receipt. You can set this parameter in Customizing for Materials Management under Purchasing -> Account Assignment -> Maintain Account Assignment Categories. References: SAP S/4HANA Sourcing and Procurement | SAP Learning, Course S4520, Unit 3, Lesson 2.

SAP S/4HANA stores low-level code in the following objects:

• Bill of material (BOM), which is a structured list of components that make up a product or assembly.
• Planning file, which is an internal table that contains information about materials that need to be planned by MRP. References: SAP S/4HANA Sourcing and Procurement | SAP Learning, Course S4525, Unit 1, Lesson 1.
