Question no 4225 : Undo Processing Steps in COCM

In SAP S/4 HANA in Engineering Change Management, which of the following Processing Steps possible in be "Undo Processing Steps" function in transaction COCM1 ?

(more than one answers)

A) Unassigned the Procurement Element to the Change Master.
B) Undo "Create simulation order".
C) Undo "Determine changes".
D) Undo "Check changes".
E) Undo "Change original order".
.

Answer: C, D, E

Context of the Function:

 

When master data (such as a Bill of Materials or Routing) is changed, OCM is used to retroactively update affected, ongoing production orders. The change process in COCM1 relies on several distinct evaluation steps before updating the live order: 

1. Determine Changes: The system checks what has been altered in the master data compared to the current production order status.
2. Check Changes: The system checks for feasibility and conflicts, temporarily applying status flags like NOCH or CGFB/AEVB to lock the order from manual adjustments.
3. Change Original Order: The final step that applies the changes to the active production order.

Question no 4220 : Overall Profile

In SAP S/4, what is the purpose of the "Overall Profile" in the Material Master Work Scheduling data view ?

(only one answer)

A) It contain sub-profiles with many default values for various Production Execution functions.
B) It defaults the Production Scheduler Profile.
C) It is for OCM.
D) It contains the Order Type dependent parameters for Production Execution.
E) It is Production Order status flow.
.

Answer: C

The "Overall Profile" is for OCM (Order Change Management)

 
Step 1: IMG > Production > Shop Floor Control > Operations > Change Management for Production Orders (OCM) > Define Change Profile

The pre-requisite is to Define Change Profile (similar IMG path but next to "Define Overall Change Profile", the "Change Profile" defines how to Handle the CONFLICTs when OCM (Order Change Management) is applied to the Production Order.

Step 2: IMG > Production > Shop Floor Control > Operations > Change Management for Production Orders (OCM) > Define Overall Change Profile

And the "Change Profile" will be assigned to the "Overall Profile" which is then assigned to the Material Master.

Question no 4216 : Indicators in the Object Type in the Change Master

In SAP S/4, a user was trying to apply the Change Master to Material BOM T-F128 in transaction code CS02; a dialogue prompts for a text description entry before the screen of "Material BOM overview" screen to enter the changes to the BOM. What settings the Object Type indicators are expected in the Change Master ?

(only one answer)

A)  Active, Object, MgmtRec, "Gen New", "Gen Dial" indicators set.

B)  Active, Object, "Gen Dial" indicators set.

C)  Active, "Gen Dial" indicators set.

D)  Active, MgmtRec, "Gen Dial" indicators et.

E)  Active, Object, MgmtRec, "Gen Dial" indicators set.

Answer: E

B, C, D is not possible - "Gen New" and "Gen Dial indicators are only allowed when the "Active" + "Object" + "MgmtRec" indicators are set.

Scenario A

Active, Object, MgmtRec, "Gen New", "Gen Dial" indicators set.

Material BOM T-F128 can only be applied with the Change Master if  it is listed in the Object Management Record

The "Gen Dial" indicator means a Dialogue for a Description entry when the Change Master is applied to the Material BOM

Scenario E

Active, Object, MgmtRec, "Gen Dial" indicators set.

Material BOM T-F128 can be applied with the Change Master even if it is not listed in the Object Management Record

The "Gen Dial" indicator means a Dialogue for a Description entry when the Change Master is applied to the Material BOM

Question no 4215 : Indicators in the Object Types TAB in the Change Master

In SAP S/4, note the current indicators in the Change Master below; check the correct statements of the SAP responses when applying the Change Master to the Bills of Material ?

When using Change Master with Effectivity Type, it is not necessary to have dates as the BOM Explosion for ECM selection will be based on the Effectivity Values entered instead of by Date.

Question no 4211 : "Assign effect. vals" in the Material Master

In SAP S/4HANA Material Management, in the BASIC view of the Material Master, the field "Assign effect. vals" if NOT Set will ____________________________ .

(more than one answers)

A) Override the dates the system uses to determine the Components. 
B) Assign values to the effectivity parameters. 
C) Allows changes to be triggered by specific criteria rather than dates.
D) Allow User Exit to derive dates by on external Logic. 
E) Use when explode an assembly or a finished product. 
.

Answer: A, B, C, E

If you set the indicator, the following applies:

• If you only use date validity, you can override the date that the system uses to determine the components. To do this, you set certain change numbers as valid or invalid.
• If you use parameter effectivity, you can assign values to the effectivity parameters. As well as this you can set certain change numbers to valid or invalid and thus override the parameter variant (the values you previously assigned).

Packages (or lower level ECM) must be set "Technically Released"
Leading Package must be set "Technically Released"
Leading Package must be set with appropriate Release Key

Question no 4208 : Generating the Engineering Change Number via the "Change Record" FIORI App

 In SAP S/4HANA Logistics General, note the system generates the Change Number (ECM) at the Change Record Status "Initial Change Request (10)", which field was the primary influencing factor the Change Number (ECM) was generated ?

(only one answer)

A)  Record Type "Engineering Change (S20"

B)  Change Responsible Person

C)  Expected Completion Date

D)  Engineering Effective Date

E)  Manufacturing Effective Date

.

Answer: E

With the "Manufacturing Effective Data", the system will generate the Change Number (ECM) as early as the "Initial Change Request (10)" (which is the status immediately after the Change Record is SAVED.

However, if the "Manufacturing Effective Data" is not entered at any Status stage, the system will still generate the Change Number (ECM) at "Change request approve (40)" status.

Question no 4207 : Create "Change Record" in ECM FIORI processing

 In SAP S/4HANA Logistics General, when creating a "New Change Record" in the ECM FIORI processing, note the initial screen below; which of the following is CORRECT ? (the scenario below is for when creating "Change Record" with "Record Type = Engineering Changes (S02)) in Standard SAP

B)  Manufacturing Effective date is Mandatory for Record Type "Engineering Changes (S02)".
C)  Effective Completion date can be entered but not Mandatory.
D)  Effective Completion data and Engineering Effective date can be entered but not Mandatory.
E)  Engineering Effective date is Mandatory for Record Type "Engineering Changes (S02)".
.

Answer: A, C, D

For Record Type "Engineering Changes (S02)"

Mandatory fields are Description and Change Responsible.
Optional but not Mandatory fields are Effective Completion date and Engineering Effective date.
Manufacturing Effective date cannot be entered.
Objects such as "BOM", "BOM item" for Engineering Change etc cannot be entered yet.

Question no 4206 : "Change Record" FIORI App

In SAP S/4HANA Logistics General, in the "Manage Engineering Changes" FIORI App which is to create "CHANGE RECORDS"; at what Status which the Engineering Change Master will be generated automatically by the system ? (assuming the Change Record is only entered with Description and Person Responsible)

(only one answer)

A) Start Change Process
B) Send Change Request to Approval
C) Approve Change Request
D) Start Design
E) Start Parts and BOM
.

Answer: C

There are 6 Basic Steps in the Standard "Change Record" FIORI App

Start Change Process
Send Change Request to Approval
Approve Change Request (this step auto generates the Change Master)
Start Design
Start Parts and BOM
Complete Change

It is important to note that after the Change Record is created, and in the immediate next step the Engineer entered the "Manufacturing Effective Date" (Valid from) for Record Type "Engineering Changes (S02)", the system will already be automatically generating the Change Master.

But if the "Manufacturing Effective Date" (Valid from) is left BLANK, the system will still be generating the Change Master  upon "Approval of the Change Request"; however the Valid date in the Change Master will be 31.12.9999
