C_TS414_2023 Exam Dumps - SAP Certified Associate Questions and Answers

When creating an operation in an inspection plan (transaction QP01/QP02), certain fields aremandatory to define the operation’s purpose and execution in SAP S/4HANA QM:

Control Key (B): The control key is a mandatory field in the inspection plan operation. It determines the operation’s behavior, such as whether inspection characteristics are required, whether it’s a milestone, or if it triggers specific actions (e.g., QM01 for quality inspection). Defined in Customizing (SPRO > Quality Management > Quality Planning > Inspection Planning > Define Control Keys), it ensures the system knows how to process the operation. Without it, the operation cannot be saved.

Activity Type (A): This is relevant for cost accounting (e.g., in Production Planning or QM orders) but is not mandatory in the inspection plan operation itself.

Work Center (C): The work center (e.g., a test station) is optional in QM inspection plans unless specified by the control key. It’s common but not universally required.

Standard Text Key (D): This provides predefined descriptions for operations but is optional and not required to create an operation.

Thus, "Control key" is the correct answer, as it’s the only mandatory assignment in standard SAP QM for inspection plan operations.References: SAP Help Portal - "Inspection Planning with Task Lists"; SAP S/4HANA QM User Guide - "Operations in Inspection Plans".

Defects recording for inspection lots (e.g., transaction QE51N) requires specific Customizing:

Assign a Notification Type to an Inspection Type (A): In Customizing (SPRO > QM > Quality Inspection > Inspection Lot Creation > Maintain Inspection Types), linking a notification type (e.g., Q3) to an inspection type (e.g., 01) enables automatic or manual notification creation for defects, a mandatory step for integration.

Define the Report Type (D): The report type (SPRO > QM > Quality Inspection > Defects Recording > Define Report Types) must be defined to determine the defect recording layout and process, a required setting.

Activate the Workflow Template (B): Workflow is optional for notifications, not mandatory for defect recording.

Activate Reference to Existing Notifications (C): This is an optional enhancement, not a requirement.

Thus, "Assign a notification type to an inspection type" and "Define the report type" are the correct answers.References: SAP Help Portal - "Defects Recording Customizing"; SAP S/4HANA QM Customizing Guide - "Inspection Types".

SAP Fiori apps in QM support usage decisions (UD):

Manage Usage Decisions (A): App ID F2171 is specifically designed for recording and managing usage decisions for inspection lots, a direct tool for this task.

Quality Technician Overview (B): App ID F2173 provides an overview and includes options to perform UD, supporting technicians in lot processing.

Quality Engineer Overview (C): App ID F2174 focuses on analytics and planning, not direct UD execution.

Manage Quality Level (D): App ID F2172 manages quality levels (e.g., skip lots), not UD itself.

Thus, "Manage Usage Decisions" and "Quality Technician Overview" are the correct answers.References: SAP Help Portal - "Fiori Apps for QM"; SAP S/4HANA QM User Guide - "Usage Decision Apps".

To manage release stages (e.g., first-article, series) with different inspection plans in procurement, SAP QM uses:

By Assigning a Status Profile to the Quality Info Record: Procurement (B): In the quality info record (transaction QI01), you assign a status profile (defined in SPRO > QM > Environment > Status Management). This profile controls stages (e.g., "First Article," "Series") via statuses, and each status can link to a specific inspection plan via dynamic modification or inspection type settings. This is the standard approach for supplier-material-specific release processes.

Business Partner (A): Status profiles here are for partner management, not QM inspection stages.

Inspection Type Settings in Customizing (C): Inspection types (e.g., 01) don’t use status profiles directly in Customizing.

Inspection Type in Material Master (D): The material master’s QM view doesn’t supportstatus profiles for this purpose.

Thus, "By assigning a status profile to the quality info record: Procurement" is the correct answer.References: SAP Help Portal - "Quality Info Record and Release Stages"; SAP S/4HANA QM Customizing Guide - "Status Profiles".

Sample-drawing items in the sample-drawing procedure (transaction QPV2) specify:

Number of Samples (B): Defines how many samples (e.g., 5 units) are drawn per item, a key field in the item details.

Sample Categories (D): Specifies the type (e.g., primary, reserve, pooled) for each sample-drawing item, a mandatory attribute.

Confirmation of Sample Drawing (A): Confirmation occurs in sample management (e.g., QPR2), not stored in the procedure item.

Sample Drawing Based on Number of Containers (C): This is a rule in the procedure header, not an item-specific detail.

Thus, "Number of samples" and "Sample categories" are the correct answers.References: SAP Help Portal - "Sample-Drawing Procedure"; SAP S/4HANA QM User Guide - "Sample Management".

Valuation modes (set in the sampling procedure, transaction QDV1) for qualitative characteristics include:

Attributive Inspection Nonconforming Units (A): Used for qualitative characteristics (e.g., pass/fail), counting nonconforming units against a sample to determine acceptance (e.g., ANSI/ASQ Z1.4).

Manual Valuation (C): Allows manual acceptance/rejection of qualitative results (e.g., "Good" or "Bad"), a flexible option for subjective assessments.

Variable Inspection s-Method (B): Applies to quantitative characteristics using statistical variance, not qualitative ones.

Mean Value Within Tolerance Range (D): Specific to quantitative data, not applicable to qualitative characteristics.

Thus, "Attributive inspection nonconforming units" and "Manual valuation" are the correct answers.References: SAP Help Portal - "Valuation Modes for Qualitative Characteristics"; SAP S/4HANA QM User Guide - "Sampling Procedures".

For an inspection lot to be created for an outbound delivery item (e.g., inspection type 10):

An Inspection Lot Origin is Assigned to a Delivery Type in Customizing (B): In Customizing (SPRO > QM > Quality Inspection > Inspection Lot Creation > Maintain Inspection Lot Origins and Assign Inspection Types), the delivery type (e.g., LF for outbound) must be linked to an inspection lot origin (e.g., 10). This ensures the system triggers a lot during delivery creation (VL01N).

The Relevant Inspection Type is Active in the Material (C): Inspection type 10 must be activated in the material master’s QM view (transaction MM01/MM02) for the plant, enabling QM for outbound deliveries.

QM is Active in the Relevant Movement Type (A): Movement types (e.g., 601 for goods issue) trigger stock postings, not inspection lots directly in outbound scenarios.

QM is Active in the Quality Info Record: SD (D): The quality info record: SD (transaction QVDM) defines inspection requirements but isn’t a prerequisite for lot creation; it refines the process.

Thus, "B" and "C" are the correct answers.References: SAP Help Portal - "Inspection Lots for Deliveries"; SAP S/4HANA QM Customizing Guide - "Inspection Lot Origins".

Blocking purchasing from a supplier for quality reasons is managed in:

Quality Info Record: Procurement (C): In the quality info record (transaction QI01), you can set the "Block" indicator or use a status profile (e.g., "Blocked") to prevent purchasing from a supplier for a specific material. This is the standard QM object for supplier-material quality control (SPRO > QM > Quality Inspection > Quality Info Record > Define Status).

Material (A): The material master can block overall procurement but not supplier-specific QM issues.

Business Partner (B): Blocking a supplier globally is possible (e.g., via MM06), but notmaterial-specific for quality reasons in QM.

Purchase Order Item (D): POs can’t enforce a quality block; they reflect existing restrictions.

Thus, "Quality info record: Procurement" is the correct answer.References: SAP Help Portal - "Blocking Suppliers in QM"; SAP S/4HANA QM User Guide - "Quality Info Record".

Activity recording (e.g., time or cost) for inspection lots of origin 01 (Goods Receipt) requires:

Inspection Operations with Work Centers (B): Operations in the inspection plan (transaction QP01) must have work centers assigned, as these link to activity types (e.g., labor) for recording effort or costs during inspection (SPRO > QM > Quality Planning > Inspection Planning).

Inspection Lot with a QM Order (D): A QM order (e.g., created via Customizing or lot assignment) is required to capture activity data (e.g., via transaction QE51N or CO11N), linking costs to the inspection lot (SPRO > QM > Quality Inspection > Inspection Lot Creation > Define Inspection Types).

Inspection Specifications with Master Inspection Characteristics (A): MICs define what’s inspected but aren’t prerequisites for activity recording.

Inspection Specifications with Inspection Methods (C): Methods guide execution, not activity recording setup.

Thus, "Inspection operations with work centers" and "Inspection lot with a QM order" are the correct answers.References: SAP Help Portal - "Activity Recording in QM"; SAP S/4HANA QM User Guide - "Cost Management".

The Engineering Workbench (EWB) in SAP S/4HANA is a powerful tool for managing task lists, including inspection plans, in a structured and efficient way. Working areas in the EWB define the focus or scope of what users can edit or view during inspection planning. These settings are mandatory to streamline workflows and ensure the correct level of detail is maintained:

Header (A): The header level refers to the overall inspection plan (e.g., plan group and group counter). A working area focused on the header allows users to manage high-level attributes like validity dates or usage. This is a standard focus in EWB (transaction CEWB).

Operation (B): Operations within an inspection plan define the steps or activities (e.g., "Measure dimension"). A working area focused on operations allows detailed planning at this level, including assigning control keys or work centers. This is another standard focus in EWB.

Inspection Characteristic (C): While inspection characteristics (e.g., specific measurements) are part of an operation, they are not a standalone focus for a working area inEWB. They are managed within the operation context, not as a separate working area.

Classification (D): Classification is used for categorizing objects (e.g., materials) but is not a focus for working areas in inspection planning within EWB. It’s unrelated to this context.

Thus, "Header" and "Operation" are the correct focuses, aligning with EWB’s structure for inspection planning.References: SAP Help Portal - "Engineering Workbench in QM"; SAP S/4HANA QM User Guide - "Inspection Planning with EWB".
