Which time elements does MRP consider in backward scheduling to determine the order dates for components from dependent requirements? Note: There are 2 correct answers to this question
Correct Answer: B,D
Backward scheduling is a method of determining the order dates for components from dependent requirements by starting from the requirement date of the finished product and working backwards through the production structure. Backward scheduling considers the following time elements: Operation duration: This is the time required to perform an operation on a resource, such as a work center or a machine. Operation duration is influenced by various factors, such as the quantity, the lot size, the setup time, the processing time, the teardown time, and the operation scrap. Operation duration is subtracted from the requirement date of the finished product to determine the start date of the operation. In-house production time: This is the time required to produce a material in-house, from the start of the first operation to the end of the last operation. In-house production time is influenced by various factors, such as the routing, the work center, the production version, and the scheduling margin key. In-house production time is subtracted from the start date of the first operation to determine the order start date of the material. Backward scheduling does not consider the following time elements: Total replenishment lead time: This is the time required to procure a material externally, from the creation of the purchase requisition to the receipt of the goods. Total replenishment lead time is influenced by various factors, such as the planned delivery time, the goods receipt processing time, the release time, and the scheduling margin key. Total replenishment lead time is used in forward scheduling, not backward scheduling, to determine the order dates for externally procured materials. Planned delivery time: This is the time required to deliver a material from the vendor to the receiving plant. Planned delivery time is maintained in the purchasing info record or the material master record. Planned delivery time is a component of the total replenishment lead time, which is used in forward scheduling, not backward scheduling, to determine the order dates for externally procured materials.

Question 22
Which actions does the system perform by default when you save a confirmation for a finished product in repetitive manufacturing? Note: There are 3 correct answers to this question.
Correct Answer: B,C,E
Question 23
Which information is required when you create a product master in SAP S/4HANA Cloud Private Edition? Note: There are 2 correct answers to this question.
Correct Answer: A,B
Creating a material master (referred to here as a "product master") in SAP S/4HANA Cloud Private Edition (transaction MM01) requires mandatory fields to establish the material's identity and usage: * Base unit of measure(A): This field (Basic Data 1 view, field: Base Unit of Measure) is mandatory and defines the primary unit (e.g., "PC," "KG") for stockkeeping, procurement, and production. Without it, the system cannot process quantities, making it a required input during creation. * Industry sector(B): Selected on the initial MM01 screen (field: Industry Sector), this determines the material's business context (e.g., "M" for Mechanical Engineering) and influences the available views and field layouts. It's mandatory to proceed with material creation. Selection screen for views(C) is a step in MM01 where you choose views (e.g., MRP, Purchasing), but it's not "information" entered-it's a navigation choice.Product type(D) is likely a misnomer for "Material Type" (e. g., FERT, ROH), which is required on the initial screen, but the question's phrasing aligns with SAP's term "Material Type," not "Product Type." A and B are the clearest matches per SAP's material creation process.
Question 24
In your plant MRP is activated. Which options do you have to exclude a material from the MRP run? Note: There are 2 correct answers to this question.
Correct Answer: B,D
In SAP S/4HANA, MRP can be configured to exclude certain materials from planning runs to optimize processing or reflect specific business needs. One method is to use aspecific material status(B), maintained in the material master (e.g., under the MRP view). A status such as "Blockedfor Procurement/Production" (configured in Customizing under Logistics - General > Material Master > Settings for Key Fields > Define Material Statuses) prevents the material from being planned in MRP, effectively excluding it from the run. Another method is to assign aspecific MRP type(D), such as "ND" (No Planning), in the material master (MRP 1 view). This MRP type instructs the system not to generate requirements or planned orders for the material, excluding it from MRP processing.Using a specific MRP list(A) is not a valid exclusion method, as the MRP list is an output of the MRP run, not a control mechanism. Similarly,using a specific material group (C) does not inherently exclude materials from MRP, as material groups are for classification and reporting, not MRP control. These options align with SAP's standard MRP configuration settings.
Question 25
You use planning strategy Finite Scheduling with Reverse and want to allow scheduling in the past. How can you parameterize this in the strategy profile?
Correct Answer: A
In SAP S/4HANA PP/DS, theFinite Scheduling with Reversestrategy (configured in the strategy profile, transaction /SAPAPO/CDPSC11) schedules operations backward from a fixed end date, respecting finite capacity. To allow scheduling in the past (e.g., before today's date): * Specify a negative offset time(A): In the strategy profile (Detailed Scheduling tab, field: Scheduling Offset), a negative value (e.g., -2 days) shifts the scheduling reference point into the past. This allows operations to be scheduled before the current date, accommodating scenarios where late planning or historical adjustments are needed, while still respecting capacity constraints. Negative opening period(B) isn't a standard PP/DS parameter-it's a production order term (MRP 2 view) for order start buffers, not scheduling control.Negative planning horizon(C) (Planning Horizon in /SAPAPO /CDPSC11) defines the future planning scope, not past scheduling.Negative PP/DS horizon(D) refers to the PP /DS planning horizon (Customizing), which limits planning scope forward, not backward. This is per SAP's PP/DS scheduling configuration.
