SAP S4 HANA Sourcing and Procurement Certification Questions

"SAP S4 HANA Sourcing and Procurement Certification Questions" provides insights into the procurement process in SAP S/4 HANA. The book is aimed at helping professionals who are seeking certification in SAP S/4 HANA Sourcing and Procurement. 

These questions are similar to the ones asked in the actual test. 
How should I know? I know because, although I have been working as an SAP HANA & SAP MM Consultant for many years, I have myself recently certified 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 Sourcing and Procurement Exam:

  • This certification exam verifies that the candidate has the knowledge required in the area of SAP S/4 HANA Sourcing and Procurement.
  • This certificate builds on the basic knowledge gained through related SAP HANA and SAP Sourcing/Procurement training and preferably refined by practical experience within an SAP HANA Procurement project team, whereby the consultant applies acquired knowledge in this specialist area practically in projects.
The exam is computer-based and you have three hours to answer 80 questions.
  • The questions are (mostly) multiple-choice type and there is no penalty for an incorrect answer.
  • Some of the questions have more than one correct answer. You must get all the options correct for you to be awarded points.
  • For questions with a single answer, the answers will have a button next to them. You will be able to select only one button.
  • For questions with multiple answers, the answers will have a 'tick box' next to them. This allows you to select multiple answers.
You are not allowed to use any reference materials during the certification test (no access to online documentation or to any SAP system).

Clearing the certification will not automatically lead you to a job. However, a certification with some project experience will certainly open a lot of doors for you. So, if you have little or no experience, you should get yourself certified, get some project experience, and then the whole of the 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:

  • There is no other material in the market for the SAP Certified Application Associate - SAP S/4 HANA Sourcing and Procurement exam.
The author has himself cleared the exam.

  • 130 authentic questions, testing the exact same concepts that will be tested in your exam!
1) Which of the following is the feature in SAP S/4 HANA that replaces the cart in ERP system, which is as of Package 6?
(Only one answer is correct)

(a) Self Service Requisitioning
(b) Purchase Order Processing
(c) Purchase Order Collaboration
(d) Service Purchasing

Answer: a

Explanation:

The SAP S/4 HANA self-service requisitioning process allows employees to search and request goods or services in a cross-catalog search or by creating items with or without material master. Self-Service Requisitioning is a new capability in SAP S/4 HANA. It replaces the shopping cart function in ERP, which was available as of Enhancement Package 6. With SAP S/4 HANA, the employee has four SAP Fiori Apps to carry out a self-service requisitioning process:

  • Create Purchase Requisition
  • My Purchase Requisitions
  • Confirm Receipt of Goods
  • Upload Supplier Invoice
2) A cart item has a material with material master and there is sufficient material in the stock, and you have decided to create a reservation. Which of the following combinations must be defined in the IMG Customizing settings?
(There are two answers to the question)

(a) Material group
(b) Purchase order
(c) Invoice Payable
(d) Purchase group

Answer: a, d

Explanation:

A requisition or reservation can be created by the system if a shopping cart item has a material with material master and there is enough material in the stock. This scenario must be set up in IMG Customizing if you want reservations to be created. Use the following menu path: IMG Materials Management —> Purchasing —> Purchase Requisition —> Reservation —> Define Material Group and Purchasing Group for Reservation. In this activity, you define for which combination of material group and purchasing group you want to allow the creation of reservations. If an allowed combination is used in a cart item, the system checks the availability with the settings for reservations. If a material is available, a reservation is created as a follow-on document additionally to the purchase requisition; otherwise, the system only creates a purchase requisition.

  • Requisition items with a purchase order as a follow-on document
  • In the app, you can search a document using a purchase order number or purchase requisition number.

Suppliers can check the invoice and payment status on the network. This helps to reduce the effort of communication with the suppliers.
