SAP C_TS414_2023 Exam Dumps

Dependent characteristic specifications in SAP QM allow characteristics in an inspection plan to inherit values (e.g., tolerances) from a reference object. This is configured in the inspection plan (transaction QP01) under characteristic details:

Material and Customer (C): Used in sales-related inspections (e.g., inspection type 10), this reference allows characteristics to be tailored to customer-specific material requirements, pulling data from the material master or customer info records.

Material and Supplier (D): Common in procurement (e.g., inspection type 01), this reference links to quality info records or material master data, enabling supplier-specific specs for a material.

Material (E): The material alone can serve as a reference, pulling general specifications from the material master (e.g., QM view) or material specifications (transaction QS61), applicable across scenarios.

Material and Control Key (A): Control keys define operation behavior, not characteristic specifications, so this is not a valid reference.

Material and Work Center (B): Work centers are operation-specific and don't store characteristic specs for reference in standard SAP.

Thus, 'Material and customer,' 'Material and supplier,' and 'Material' are the correct answers.

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 not material-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.

SAP's clean core principles (as per S/4HANA Cloud strategy) aim for a standardized, upgrade-friendly system:

Establish an Organizational Structure, Technical Foundation, and Transformation Methodology for Clean Core (A): This foundational principle ensures governance and methodology (e.g., SAP Activate) for clean core adoption.

Integrate Clean Core Practices in the End-to-End Value Process Chain (B): Embedding clean core into business processes ensures minimal customization and maximum standard use.

Establish Regular Housekeeping Tasks and Procedures (C): Ongoing maintenance (e.g., data cleanup) keeps the system lean and standard-compliant.

Establish Release Management (D): While important, it's a broader IT practice, not a core clean core principle.

Define Roles and Responsibilities as Part of a Process Transformation Office (E): Useful but not a primary SAP-defined clean core principle.

Thus, 'A, B, C' are the correct answers.

Material specifications in SAP QM (transaction QS61) define inspection requirements directly in the material master, independent of task lists. They integrate specific QM basic data:

Master Inspection Characteristics (A): MICs are the core of material specifications, defining what is inspected (e.g., length, pH). They are assigned to the material spec to set tolerances or qualitative codes.

Sampling Procedures (C): These determine the sample size for the material spec's characteristics (e.g., fixed sample of 5). They are assigned to MICs within the material specification.

Inspection Methods (E): Inspection methods (e.g., 'Visual check') can be linked to MICs in the material spec to specify how the inspection is performed.

Dynamic Modification Rule (B): This governs inspection scope changes (e.g., skip lots) and is assigned to inspection types or plans, not material specs directly.

Selected Set (D): Selected sets are used for qualitative valuations (e.g., UD codes) but are not directly assigned to material specs; they link via MICs instead.

Thus, 'Master inspection characteristics,' 'Sampling procedures,' and 'Inspection methods' are the correct answers.

The quality score in SAP S/4HANA Quality Management reflects the quality performance of an inspection lot, calculated at the usage decision (UD) stage. This score can influence subsequent processes, such as supplier evaluation. The procedure for its calculation is defined as follows:

Usage Decision Code (A): The quality score calculation procedure is assigned to the usage decision codes in Customizing (SPRO > Quality Management > Quality Inspection > Usage Decision > Define Quality Score Procedure). Each UD code (e.g., 'Accepted,' 'Rejected') can have a specific score or formula linked to it, determining how the system computes the score based on inspection results. This is the correct and standard location for this setting.

Procurement Data in the Quality Management View of the Material Master (B): This area (transaction MM02, QM view) contains settings like inspection type or control keys but does not define the quality score calculation procedure.

Quality Info Record: Procurement (C): The quality info record (transaction QI01/QI02) manages supplier-specific QM settings (e.g., release status), but it does not configure the quality score calculation procedure.

Inspection Type Settings in the Material Master (D): Inspection type settings (e.g., 01 for goods receipt) in the material master activate QM processes but do not define the score calculation logic.

Thus, 'Usage decision code' is the correct answer, as it directly ties the score calculation to the UD process.
