26. What is the difference between an operation-related and order-related

confirmation?
a) Order confirmation is a confirmation of the entire order at order header level
and an Operation confirmation allows you to confirm an order step by step.
b) Order confirmation is a confirmation of the entire order before sending to
production and operation confirmation is a step by step confirmation of
production order
c) Order confirmation is partial confirmation of the order and operation
confirmation is automatic final confirmation of the order
d) Order confirmation requires a goods receipt, operation confirmation does not
require a goods receipt
Answer: a
There are various procedures for confirmation in SAP ECC. Each procedure
implements different requirements that a company may have. Depending on
the application, one or more procedures may be used. The procedures must be
used to selected to suit the methods of organization within your company and
the allowed workload.
For the most part, the two main types are operation-related and order-related
confirmations. Order confirmation is a confirmation of the entire order at order
header level. An operation confirmation allows you to confirm an order step by
step. For this type of confirmation, there are various procedures available. You
can carry out a confirmation for an order only if no confirmations have already
been entered for operations.
Each confirmation is entered with a status (partial confirmation, final
confirmation, automatic final confirmation). Once an order has been confirmed,
follow-on functions are performed. The confirmed quantity, the status RUCK
and actual costs are written to the production order.
When an operation is confirmed, an automatic goods issue is posted on the
basis of the quantity that has been assigned the material components
(backflush). These material components must be prepared for backflush
posting and also be provided for use at the work center.
When you confirm the last operation that must be confirmed (or for the
operation where this posting is defined in the control key), an automatic goods
receipt is posted.
Capacity reduction is carried out either in proportion to the quantity or activity.
If a scrap or rework quantity is confirmed, a quantity notification can be
generated automatically.

27.
What are the options for the material staging from a warehouse
management system? (more than one option is correct)
a) Create parts are ordered manually
b) Release order parts are ordered manually
c) Pick parts are provided for the production order in exactly the same quantity
as the requirements quantity
d) Release order parts are ordered automatically
Answer: a, b &c
For the material staging from a warehouse management system, there are
three options for the production order. These options are described here:
Pick parts are provided for the production order in exactly the same quantity as
the requirements quantity
Create parts are ordered manually when a crate is almost empty. Typical
examples are small parts in containers such as screws, nails..
Release order parts are ordered manually: The required quantity is calculated
using the targe quantities of the components in the selected released orders.
Typical examples are laminates, paints
28. Consider a product scenario where there is high product stability, high
repetition rates, and low product complexity. What type of manufacturing do
you suggest?
a) Mass manufacturing
b) Bulk manufacturing
c) Repetitive manufacturing
d) Order based manufacturing
Answer: c
To allow the material to be used in repetitive manufacturing, you set the
Repetitive Mfg indicator in the material master (in the MRP view). This means
that you can use the various production versions of this material for repetitive

manufacturing (that is, you can set the indicator Repetitive Mfg allowed for
version in the production version.)
The BOM defines the planned material consumption for the components. When
you backflush components in repetitive manufacturing, you can define the
issue storage location from which components are to be backflushed in the
status/long text of the BOM item (Production storage location field).
Production lines are usually created as simple work centers in the ECC system.
In the work center, you define the availability of the production line. The
production line created at the work center is entered in the Production line field
in the production version. This same work center is specified in the single
operation of the routing. Production lines that have more than on work center
can be represented in a line hierarchy.
In repetitive manufacturing, the routing define the production rate (quantity
per time unit) used to produce materials on production lines. The production
quantities and their capacity requirements are scheduled and calculated
respectively according to the production rate.
The routing therefore forms the basis of lead time of scheduling. In repetitive
manufacturing often have only one operation. The total production rate of the
line is specified in this operation. It define how many materials per unit can be
produced on this production line. In the singe operation, you enter the
production line as the work center.

29. A distinctive feature of you company is a relatively constant consumption of

materials. For this reason, you want to process the material flow to the work
centers in production of your company in an event-drive manner. Is there any
possibility in SAP?
a) This is not possible
b) SAP-SCM KANBAN
c) SAP-SCM REPLENISHMENT
d) SAP-SCM PRODUCT STABILITY
Answer: b
The KANBAN procedure can be used together with all other production types.
In KANBAN, the material flow is organized using containers that are kept
directly at the appropriate work centers in production. Each contains the
quantity of material that work center personnel need for a certain period of
time. As soon as a container is emptied by the demand source, replenishment
is initiated in KANBAN. The supply source of the required material can be
another place in production, an external vendor or a warehouse.
The demand source can use material from other containers until the actual
container returns to full. The aim is to control the replenishment process in
production itself and to reduce the manual posting efforts for personnel as

much as possible. This self-management process and the fact that

replenishment elements are created close to time they are actually consumed
means that stocks are reduced and lead times are shortened (replenishment is
only triggered when a material is actually required and not before).
With KANBAN material is staged where it is used and is always available in
small material buffers. This means that material staging does not need to be
planned; instead, material that is consumed is replenished immediately using
KANBAN.
By using KANBAN with the SAP ECC system, you can automate the transfer of
replenishment data. For example, scanning the barcode on a KANBAN card is
sufficient to transfer the data required for procurement and to post the goods
receipt when the material is received.

30. What is the industry standard that uses COM/DCOM technology to define
manufacturer-independent interfaces for the industrial usage area?
a) SAP COM/COM model
b) SAP OPC
c) SAP OCOM
d) SAP OLE
Answer: b
SAP OPC Data Access (SAP ODA) enables the reading and writing of data points
and event using the OPC server of the ECC system. These functions are also
available with the production order environment.
OPC stands for OLE for Process Control and Openness, Productivity and
Connectivity, and is an industry standard that uses COM/DCOM technology to
define manufacturer-independent interfaces for the industrial usage area. The
OPC standard was designed especially for the process control level.

OPC servers enable you to access different data sources (for example, process
control systems, memory programmable controls, temperature sensors) and
thus provide process data which can be requested by OPC clients.
SAP ECC with the component SAP ODA is an OPC server and client that can
communicate with OPC servers. This considerably simplifies the data exchange
between applications. OPC servers and OPC clients are currently PC-based
systems based on which Microsoft operating system runs.
31. As a production manager how do you enable process operations parallel to
and independent of other operations?
a) Parallel sequences
b) Successor relationships
c) Control sequences
d) Linked sequences
Answer: a
The parallel sequence enables you to process operations parallel to and
independent of other operations. You can copy both parallel and alternative
sequence types from the routing to the order. Parallel sequences are linked to
the standard sequence through predecessor/successor relationships. Parallel
sequences are a special form of overlapping operations. This gives rise to
network-like structures. Order scheduling inserts operation floats according to
the alignment key specifications. In mechanical engineering for assemblies
involving the production of individual components, inspection processes and
preparatory and closing operations.
In the chemical industry for analysis processes that are carried out in parallel to
the production process.

32. What is the difference between regenerative planning and net change
planning?
a) Planning all materials from the planning file, you can only plan materials for
which planning file exists.
b) Planning all materials bases on demand, you plan all materials bases on
previous production
c) Planning all materials parallel, planning all materials from previous planning
file
d) Planning all material online, planning is carried out as a background job

Answer: a
Regenerative planning means you plan all materials from the planning file. Net
change planning means that you can only plan materials for which planning file
exists. This means that they have undergone a change relevant to MRP within a
restricted planning horizon. You can only generate planning proposals within
the horizon. Planning is carried out online or as a background job.
Creation & Conversion of Planned Order in ECC

33. What is the report that collects all important information about a work
center or a hierarchy of work centers of a shift?
a) Shift report
b) Shift transfer report
c) Transfer report
d) Shirt work center report
Answer: a
The shift report is a document that is generated manually by the production
scheduler once data capture for the preceding shift has been completed. The
shift report is used for collecting all important information about a work center
or a hierarchy of work centers of a shift. The shift report thereby facilitates shift
transfer.
The shift report consists of the following parts:

Header data and company logo

Shift notes

Confirmations (including activity confirmations and goods movements)

Maintenance notifications

Graphical evaluations
In Customizing for the shift report, you define which information you want to be
part of the shift report and which layout you want to use for the document.
You cannot change the shift report manually.

34. What is the indicator that controls whether a valuated or non-valuated

goods receipt should be made and on what are the criteria that this indicator is
dependent upon? (more than one option is correct)
a) The stock type indicator
b) The GR valuation indicator
c) Material type of the product and account assignment
d) Demand and Supply
Answer: b & c
The Goods receipt indicator defines whether a goods receipt can be posted
once production has been completed.
The proposal for storage of goods receipt comes from material master (screen
AV). The stock type indicator defines the stock to which receipts from
production are to be posted. This can be the unrestricted use, blocked stock or
stock in quality inspection. The indicator can be activated at different points: in
the material master screen (screen AV), in a production order or at the time of
goods receipt.
The GR valuation indicator controls whether a valuated or non-valuated goods
receipt should be made. This indicator depends on the material type of the
product and the account assignment of the production order.
The Delivery Completed indicator specifies whether an order is regarded as
closed from the point of view of goods receipt. This means that no further
goods receipt will be expected for this order.

35. Settlement in product cost controller is based on? (more than one option is
correct)
a) Period-oriented
b) Costs of the product cost controller
c) Order settlement
d) No settlement rule
Answer: a & b
In product-related costs object controlling, all costs are debited and credited to
a product cost controller. Individual production orders do not have cost
segments or settlement rules. All functions in Production and Materials
Management that are relevant to costs( material withdrawal, confirmation,
goods receipt for the production order and goods receipt from production) are
executed on the basis of the production order.
All controlling functions (process cost allocation, overhead allocation, WIP and
variance calculation, settlement) are carried out at the end of the period on the
basis of product costs collector. Thus, the relevant values are determined.
The current costs for a period comprise values for:

The material quantities delivered for the period according to the

valuation control of the goods receipt.

The unfinished product s (WIP) according to the status of the operations

confirmed.

Variances (such a scrap)

Settlement is a period-oriented based on the costs of the product cost

collector. In this case, there is no order settlement for the individual production
order. In this case the production order does not have a settlement rule.

It makes senses to use product-related COC for the following:

Make-to-stock production

Repetitive manufacturing and mass manufacturing

Sales order controlling only in Profitability Analysis
