Question no 3874 : Storage Location data view

In SAP MM as at ECC6.0 EhP6, which of the following can be created at the Storage Location data view ?

(more than one answers)

A)  MPR3 data view.
B)  MPR4 data view.
C)  Purchasing data view.
D)  Plant/Storage Location data view.
E)  Accounting data view.
.

Answer: B, D

The SLoc data view for MRP4 and Plant/Storage are optional.
the Material Master data view can be extended via MMSC or MM01
the Material Master data view can also be extended via Goods Receipt to that Storage Location provided the IMG (t-code OMB3) set for "Allow Create Storage Location Automatically" for the Plant.
The above is TRUE for ECC6.

Question no 3873 : Split Valuation

In SAP MM as at ECC6.0 EhP6, which of the following are TRUE about Split Valuation setting ?

(more than one answers)

A)  Valuation Class ans Price Control is not reqiired in the Plant level Accounting data view where the Valuation category is assigned.
B)  Top level accounting data view (Plant level)  Price Control must be "V".
C)  Valuation Type accounting data view's Price Control can be either "V" or "S".
D)  The Price of the Valuation Type accounting data view must not be zero.
E)  Each Valuation Type's accounting data view of the same Mateeial can be of a different Valuation Class.
.

Answers: B, C, E

D) Price can be zero.

Screen below is the "TOP Level" Accounting data view (at the PLANT level) where the Valuation Category is assigned, next is to EXTEND the Material (MM01 again) to "LOWER Level" Accounting data view (at the PLANT + Valuation Type level).

Question no 3872 : Material Status

In SAP MM as at ECC6.0 EhP6, which of the following processing functions cannot be controlled via Material Status ?  

(more than one answers) 

A) Purchase Order creation. 
B) Goods movement. 
C) Invoice Verification. 
D) Create Sales Order.
E) MRP run. 
.
 
 Answer: C, D

OMS4 (Transaction code)
IMG - Logistics - General - Material master - Settings for key fields - Define material statuses.
 

Material status can be found in the Material Master in the Basic view as a X-Plant Client level Control field (with a valid from date), it can also be found as Plant-level data control field in MRP view. A control action can be either "Warning" or "Error". Affected areas are some processes in MM, PP, PM, WMS, and CO activities.
Areas of Control including (example t-codes not allowed for the Material):
MM-Purchasing - Create Purchasing Document (ME51N, ME21N, ME31K, ME31L, ME41)
MM-Inventory Management 0 Create Goods Movement (IMGO)
PP-Master data - Create BOM Header (CS01, CS02)
PP-Master data - Create as a BOM item (CS01, CS02)
PP-Master data - Create Material Production Resource Tool
PP-Planning - Planned Independent Requirement Creation (MD61)
PP-Planning - MRP run (MD01, MD02, MDBT etc)
PP-Planning - Forecasting Run (MP30)
PP-Planning - Long Term Planning Run (MS01, MS02, MSBT etc)
PP-Execution - Creation as a Header for a Production Order (CO01)
PP-Execution - Creation as a Component item in the Production Order (CO01, CO02)  
PM-Execution - Creation of Maintenance Order as a Spare Parts (IW31)
WMS-Execution - Create Transfer Requirement (from Goods Movement Integration)
WMS-Execution - Convert TR to Transfer Order (LB01)
CO-PCP - Create Cost Estimate with Quantity Structure (CK11N)

Question no 3871 : Automatic Data view in Material Master

In SAP MM as at ECC6.0 EhP6, which of the following data views can be created automatically ?

(more than one answers)

A)  MRP1 plant level view.
B)  MRP 4 storage location level view.
C)  Accounting plant level view.
D)  Controlling plant level view.
E)  Purchasing plant level view.
.

Answers: B, D

A) MRP views are mandatory when performing MRP run and there are not automatically created.
B) IMG setting in IM-GR for "Create Storage Location Automatically" if activated can generate this data view when GR into a new Storage Location at MIGO.
C) Accounting view has to be created manually if if is for stock procurement scenario (with both Quantity and Value update).
D) Costing run can generate this data view.
E) Purchasing data view should be created manually if a Purchasing Master data (like Purchasing Info Record or Source List) as well as Purchasing Documents are to be created for the Material.

Question no 3870 : PIR Requirement Type

In SAP PP as at ECC6.0 EhP6, which of the following Strategy do not have a PIR Requirement Type ?

(only one answer)

A)  Strategy "10".
B)  Strategy "20".
C)  Strategy "30".
D)  Strategy "40".
E)  Strategy "50".
.

Answer: B
MTO strategies:
Strategy "20" MTO Strategy do not have Req.Type for PIR and therefore PIR is not allowed.
Strategy "50" is also MTO but allow PIR as the strategy is assigned with Req.type for PIR, the PIR is for lower level BOM procurement; while the FG MTO Production will have to wait for the Sale Order.
MTS strategies:
Eg: 11, 10, 30, 40 for FG all have Req.types for the PIR.

(more than one answers)

A)  Both active and non-active SOP Plans can be transferred to a Planned Independent Requirement.
B)  Only active SOP Plans can be transferred to a Planned Independent Requirement.
C)  Both active and non-active PIR Plans can be transferred to a Long Term Planning Scenario.
D)  Only non-active PIR Plans can be transferred to a Long Term Planning Scenario.
E)  Only active PIR Plans can be deployed to MD04.
.

Answers: A, C, E

A, B) Both active and non-active SOP Plans are transferable to PIR; when transferring a non-active SOP Plan, you can activate it to ta PIR.

Question no 3868 : Strategy Decision

In SAP PP as at eCC6.0 EhP6, which of the following statements are TRUE about the use of Strategy and its related parameters ?

(more than one answers)

A)  Individual/Collective indicator is not applicable for Make-to-Stock Strategy.
B)  A Strategy Group can have both MTS and MTO Strategies.
C)  A Strategy can be created without a Requirement Type for Planned Independent Requirement.
D)  Make-to-Order scenario can be de-activated in the Long Term PLanning Scenario.
E)  A Strategy can be entered in the BOM Header.
.

Answers: A, B, C, D

A) The "Ind/Coll" indicator is used for MTO Strategies; it is used to control the planning level in a multi-level BOM where the Assemblies or Components can either follow the Parent as MTO or switch to MTS.
B) You can have any combination of MTS and MTO in a Strategy Group but it may not be easy to manage in MD04 (unless proper segmentation is designed into MD04 in R3). Maybe in the future!
C) A Strategy without Requirement Type for PIR means a PIR cannot be created, usually meant for MTO Strategies eg: Strategy 20.
D) Indeed the LTP Scenario allows to switch off the MTO Strategies of a Material included in the LTP Planning as simulation will allow grouping of requirement into periodic lot sizes for easier evaluation.
E) In fact the Strategy is not assigned anywhere. Only the Strategy Group is assigned either to the Material Master or MRP Group.
