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.

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).

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
