Question no 4198 : Digital Signature activate for RR and UD

In SAP S/4 1909, the ________________ is assigned to the Material Master QM data view for Digital Signature activation for Results Recording and Usage Decision ?

(only one answer)

A) Signature Strategy.
B) Material Authorization Group.

D) Authorization Group.
E) Not applicable.
.

Answer: B

Question no 4197 : Material Master MRP4 data view

In SAP S/4HANA, the MRP 4 data view in the Material Master no longer have which data field ?


(more than one answer)

A)  BOM Selection Method.
B)  Availability Check indicator.
C)  Bulk Material.
D)  Assembly Scrap Factor.
E)  Storage Location data segment.
.

Answer: A. E

A) "BOM Selection method" is now missing field in the MRP4 data view, and Production Version is now Mandatory for BOM and Routing in MRP and Production Order creation. This "Simplification" means that the BOM and Routing selection is ONLY via Production Version making it a Mandatory setup for every material which require BOM explosion. 

E) "Storage Location" data segment is no longer available in the MRP4 data view, and to use some of the "Storage Location" features; it is recommended to use MRP area. Also, when using t-code "MMSC" (Collective Storage Location Entry); the "Planning data" data fields segments are no longer available. This "Simplification" means that the only method for implementation Planning data at the Storage Location level can only be done via ONE method which is using MRP Area.

As at S/4 1909 (since it was introduce in ECC6 EhP3), only 1 individual Signature type Strategy will work for this purpose.

Configuration of the Digital Strategies is done in 
IMG > Cross-Applications Components > General Applications Functions > Digital Signatures > Signature Strategy
1. Define Authorization Group (assign in the Authorization Object C_SIGN_BGR
2. Define Individual Strategy (only 1 is applicable)
3. Define Signature Strategy (assign to the Maint.Order Type + Planning Plant)

IMG > IMG > PM > Maint.& Service Processing > Mainte.& Service Orders > Functions and Settings for Order Types > Define Digital Signatures for Order Types
The Signature Strategy is assigned to the Order Type + Planning Plant Combination

Question no 4192 : Product Type Group in the PR and PO

In SAP S/4 1909, Note the "Product Type Group" in the "Material Data" TAB in the PO item detail, select the correct statements describing the Product Type Group ? 



(more than one answers)

A) The Product Type Group is assigned to the Material Type.
B) The Product Type Group is an alternative to the Material Group and only use for grouping of materials for reporting purpose.
C) The Product Type Group can be set in the Material Master Basic 1 data view.
D) The Product Type Group cannot be changed in the Purchase Order item detail screen.
E) The Product Type Group can be set in the Purchase Order item detail screen.
.

Answer: A, E

A) You can find the Product Type Group assigned to the Material Type in OMS2 (top right corner) of the IMG screen. Either "Blank", "1 Material", "2 Service or "3 Subscription".

B) The Product Type Group define the procurement process to be different for materials and services. For example, you can only maintain the field Service Performer when you purchase a service. In S/4, a new Material type "SERV" is provided which is configured with Product Type Group "2 Service"; you will find that when creating a Material Master using "SERV", there will be minimum fields to be entered for this Service Material. Note the MIGO and ML81N is not possible for this kind of Material, and you will have to use a dedicated FIORI App to complete to Service Completion of the PO.

C) You sill not be able to find the Product Type Group in the Material Maser basic 1 data view, and it does seem that the field is not defaulted from the Material Type to the Material Master.

D) In standard SAP, for Purchase Order with Material created using "SERV", the system default the Product Type Group "2" in the PO item (Material data TAB) as DISPLAY field. However, if the Material Type is configured with "Blank" Product Type Group and the Material is a "ROH" material where MIGO is expected; the system will default the Product Type Group "1" in the PO item (Material data TAB) as DISPLAY field. Nevertheless, try creating a PO without a Material Master, and the "Product Type Group" field will be an ENTRY field in the PO item detail for the user to decide as "1 Material " (GR via MIGO or in case of Item Category "D" via ML81N), or "2 Service" (Service Completion via a FIORI App).

E) It is interesting to note that the Product Type Group field is always open for maintenance whether with or without Material Master entry in the Purchase Requisition. However, the system will still check the validity of the Product Type Group entry of "1" or "2" depending on the Material Master entered. For example, a Material with "SERV" (standard SAP) was entered in the PR but the user set the "Product Type Group" to "1 Material" will be an ERROR. Likewise, a Material with "ROH" (standard SAP) was entered in the PR but hte user set the "Product Type Group" to "2 Service) will be an ERROR. The last case of creating a PR without Material entry, similar to the PO case where user can decide as "1 Material " (GR via MIGO or in case of Item Category "D" via ML81N), or "2 Service" (Service Completion via a FIORI App).

Question no 4191 : Configurable fields in the Purchase Order

In SAP S/4 1909, which of the following for Purchasing Document are not configurable (in this case cannot be user defined) ?

(more than one answers)

A) Account Assignment category.
B) Item category.
C) Purchase order document type.
D) Confirmation control key.
E) Stock type to be posted into for the PO item.
.

Answer: B, E

A) Account Assignment category can be user defined (although it is a single alpha-numeric key). The IMG is MM > Purchasing > Account Assignment > Maintain Account Assignment Categories or t-code OME9.


B) Item category can be configured in IMG > MM > Purchasing > Define External Representation of Item Categories; however SAP item categories are delivered as "internal Category keys" such as "0" for Standard and what is configurable is just the External item category to be selected in the PO creation screen. And user can create a new Item Category.
 

C) Purchase order document type can be configured in IMG > MM > Purchasing > Purchase Order > Define Document Types, a new PO doc type can be create with a 4 alphanumeric key.
 

D) Confirmation Control key at the PO item can be configured in IMG > MM > Purchasing > Confirmations > Setup Confirmation Control and a user-defined Confirmation control key can be created.

E) The Stock type in the Delivery TAB at the PO item detail level is delivered as "Unrestricted use", "Blocked stock", or "Quality Inspection" and they cannot be user-defined.

Question no 4190 : Error message in Purchase Order creation

In SAP S/4 1909, when creating a Purchase Order and the message "ME047" is prompted with ERROR and saving the PO is not possible, what are the possible measure to be taken ?

(more than one answers)

A) MM01 to extend the Material Master with Purchasing data view.
B) MM01 to extend the Material Master with Accounting data view.
C) MMSC to extend the Material Master with Storage Location data.
D) Decide if it is an Accounting assignment Purchase Order and choose a Plant without Value update for the Material Type of the Material Master in the Purchase Order.
C) Storage Location was not entered in the Purchase Order line item.
.

Answer: B, D


If the user decides that the Purchasing scenario is Stock scenario, then next step is to extend the Material Master with Accounting data view.
If the user decides that the Purchasing scenario is Non-Stock /Non-valuated scenario, there will be 2 possible:
a) still extend the Material master with Accounting data view and re-create the PO but now enter also the Account assignment category. 

b) decide for the Material Master's Material Type for that Plant in PO creation should always be Account Assignment PO case and then request configuration of the Material Type/Plant combination in OMS2 to be set without "Value Update".
