These questions are similar to those asked in the actual test. How should I know? I know because, although I have been working as an SAP HANA & SAP PP Consultant for many years, I have recently certified myself with the latest version of the Associate Certification test.
Before you start, here are some key features of the SAP Certified Application Associate - SAP S/4 HANA Production Planning and Manufacturing Exam:
- This certification exam verifies that the candidate has the knowledge required in the area of SAP S/4 HANA Production Planning and Manufacturing.
- This certificate builds on the basic knowledge gained through related SAP HANA and SAP Production Planning and Manufacturing training and is preferably refined by practical experience within an SAP HANA Production Planning and Manufacturing project team, whereby the consultant applies acquired knowledge in this specialist area practically in projects.
You are not allowed to use any reference materials during the certification test (no access to online documentation or any SAP system).
Clearing the certification will not automatically lead you to a job. However, a certification with some project experience will certainly open many doors for you. So, if you have little or no experience, you should get yourself certified, gain some project experience, and then the whole SAP world will be open for you to explore.
Helping you with the first step on your ladder to success is this book! Some unique features of this book include:
- There is no other material in the market for the SAP Certified Application Associate - SAP S/4 HANA Production Planning and Manufacturing exam.
- The authors have themselves cleared the exam.
- All questions are in multiple-choice format, similar to the questions you will get in the actual exam.
- Over 125 authentic questions test the exact same concepts that will be tested in your exam!
1) Material requirement planning is
completed, and the system uses the planned order for external procurement
quantity. Then, into which of the following will the order be converted?
(There are two answers to the question)
(a) Production order
(b) Sales order
(c) Purchase order
(d) Purchase requisition
Answer: c, d
Explanation:
Within-house, the system creates planned orders for planning the production quantities. When planning is complete, planned orders can be converted into production orders.
With external procurement, the system either
uses a planned order or uses a purchase requisition directly to plan the
external procurement quantity. When planning is complete, the order is
converted into a purchase requisition, which is subsequently converted
to a purchase order.
Using the creation indicator for purchase
requisitions on the initial screen of the planning run, you control whether
the system immediately creates purchase requisitions directly or first
creates planned orders.
2) Which of the following internal planning
elements can be changed, rescheduled, or deleted at almost any time?
(There are two answers to the question)
(a) Planned orders
(b) Material reservations
(c) Dependent requirements
(d) Purchase requisitions
Answer: a, d
Explanation:
Material requirements planning takes current and future sales as its reference point. The planned requirement quantities trigger the MRP calculation. In MRP, the requirements elements include sales orders, planned independent requirements, material reservations, the dependent requirements created by exploding the BOM, and so on.
If the MRP run determines shortage quantities, the system creates proposals: purchase requisitions and planned orders. These are internal planning elements that can be changed, rescheduled, or deleted at almost any time.
3) You are trying to make an entry in the
planning file for a material, but the system is not giving you the option
to do that. Which of the following is the reason?
(Only one answer is correct)
(a) The plant parameters have not been
maintained
(b) The MRP views for the material have
not been maintained
(c) The material requirement planning
for the plant has not been activated
(d) Both a and b
Answer: c
Explanation:
In the Customizing activity "Activate MRP and Set up Planning File", you can specify for which plant an MRP run is to be carried out by activating material requirements planning. You can only make entries in the planning file once this indicator has been set, which means that:
- When a material that is relevant for MRP is created, the system copies the material number to the planning file and flags it for planning.
- Whenever a change relevant to MRP is made, the system flags the material for planning.
(Only one answer is correct)
(a) Material master
(b) MRP group
(c) Plant parameters
(d) Material number
Answer: a
Explanation:
The settings for material requirements planning are controlled on three levels:
- Material master (MRP views)
- MRP group (Customizing step Carry out Overall Maintenance of MRP Groups)
- Plant parameters (Customizing step Carry out Overall Maintenance of Plant Parameters)
