What happens when you set up detailed scheduling with the finite scheduling mode Insert Operation? Note: There are 2 correct answers to this question.
Correct Answer: A,B
Question 37
You want to insert an operation at a certain time on a work center in the graphical planning table. The planning direction is forward. The planning direction is forward. The desired dispatching time coincides with an operation that has previously been dispatched, how does the insertion take place?
Correct Answer: B
The graphical planning table is a tool for capacity planning and scheduling that displays the operations and the work centers in a time-oriented view. You can use the graphical planning table to create, change, or dispatch operations manually or automatically. The planning direction determines whether the operations are scheduled from the start date or the finish date of the order. If the planning direction is forward, the operations are scheduled from the start date of the order1. If you want to insert an operation at a certain time on a work center in the graphical planning table, and the planning direction is forward, and the desired dispatching time coincides with an operation that has previously been dispatched, the insertion takes place as follows: The new operation is inserted at the desired time; the previously dispatched operation is moved backward (B): This is the correct answer. The system inserts the new operation at the specified time and shifts the previously dispatched operation to a later time, so that the sequence and the capacity requirements of the operations are maintained. The system also adjusts the start and finish dates of the order and the subsequent operations accordingly2. The other options are not correct for the following reasons: The new operation is inserted at the desired time; the previous dispatched operation is moved forward (A): This is not correct. The system does not move the previously dispatched operation to an earlier time, as this would violate the planning direction and the capacity constraints of the work center. The system only moves the previously dispatched operation to a later time, as explained in option B. The previously dispatched operation stays as is; the new operation is inserted after the dispatched operation (C): This is not correct. The system does not insert the new operation after the previously dispatched operation, as this would not match the desired dispatching time specified by the user. The system inserts the new operation at the desired time and moves the previously dispatched operation backward, as explained in option B. The previously dispatched operation stays as is; the new operation is inserted before the dispatched operation (D): This is not correct. The system does not insert the new operation before the previously dispatched operation, as this would violate the planning direction and the capacity constraints of the work center. The system inserts the new operation at the desired time and moves the previously dispatched operation backward, as explained in option B.
Question 38
You have maintained the parameters for simple discontinuation in the material master of a component. Which business process will be affected if the available stock is zero and the discontinuation date is in the past?
Correct Answer: C
Simple discontinuation in SAP S/4HANA (material master, MRP 4 view, fields: Discontinuation Indicator, Effective-Out Date, Follow-Up Material) replaces a discontinued component with a follow-up material when stock is depleted. If the available stock is zero and the discontinuation date is in the past: * Material requirements planning(C): MRP (MD01/MD02) is affected because it checks the discontinuation settings. When stock is zero and the effective-out date has passed, MRP stops generating requirements for the discontinued material and creates them for the follow-up material instead (visible in MD04). This ensures planning continuity with the replacement. Backflushing(A) (e.g., during CO11N) uses existing stock or reservations, not directly impacted by discontinuation unless stock is unavailable-but it's a downstream process.Kanban(B) relies on replenishment triggers, not discontinuation logic, though stock-outs could disrupt it indirectly.Production order release(D) (CO02) checks material availability, but discontinuation is handled in MRP, not at release. This is per SAP's discontinuation process.
Question 39
In documentation for MRP in Advanced Planning you read that new orders are created through infinite planning. What does this mean for the capacity requirements of a new order?
Correct Answer: D
Question 40
What are the possible results of a production planning run in Advanced Planning (PP/DS)? Note: There are 2 correct answers to this question.
Correct Answer: C,D
A production planning run in Advanced Planning (PP/DS) is a process that optimizes the supply and demand situation for a set of materials and locations within a given planning horizon. The possible results of a production planning run are: Planned Order: A planned order is a proposal for internal production or external procurement of a material. A planned order can be converted into a production order or a purchase order, depending on the source of supply. A planned order can also be firmed, which means that it is not changed or deleted by subsequent planning runs. Production Order: A production order is a document that defines the operations, materials, resources, and costs required to produce a material. A production order is created from a planned order or directly by the user. A production order can be released, confirmed, and settled as part of the production process.
