    • A.

      When you need the option to reverse the cycle as often as required

    • B.

      When you need to transfer secondary costs

    • C.

      When you want to view the original cost elements on the receiver

    • D.

      When you want to consolidate allocated expenses

    Correct Answer(s)
    B. When you need to transfer secondary costs
    D. When you want to consolidate allocated expenses
    Explanation
    You use an assessment instead of a distribution when you need to transfer secondary costs and when you want to consolidate allocated expenses. Assessments are used to allocate costs from one cost center to another, typically for secondary costs such as administrative or overhead expenses. This allows for the transfer of these costs to different cost centers. On the other hand, distributions are used to allocate primary costs, such as direct material or labor costs. They do not allow for the transfer of secondary costs or the consolidation of allocated expenses.

    • B.

      Account group

    • C.

      Field status group

    • D.

      Account currency

    Correct Answer
    A. Account type
    Explanation
    The account type in SAP S/4HANA controls the eligible cost element categories for G/L accounts. The account type determines the nature of the account and its usage in financial accounting. Different account types are assigned to different cost element categories, which determine the types of costs that can be posted to the G/L account. Therefore, the account type plays a crucial role in determining the eligible cost element categories for G/L accounts in SAP S/4HANA.

    You are using availability control in your SAP S/4HANA system. Which documents can cause the system to raise a warning message when the budget was exceeded? There are TWO correct answers for this question 3.1

    • A.

      Purchase requisition

    • B.

      Incoming invoice

    • C.

      Goods issue from order

    • D.

      Outgoing payment

    Correct Answer(s)
    A. Purchase requisition
    B. Incoming invoice
    Explanation
    In the SAP S/4HANA system, availability control is used to monitor and control the budget. When the budget is exceeded, the system can raise a warning message. In this context, purchase requisitions and incoming invoices can cause the system to raise a warning message if the budget is exceeded. These documents are relevant to the procurement process and can have a direct impact on the budget. Therefore, it is important to closely monitor and control these documents to ensure budget compliance.

    What tasks are performed by the system during activity allocation? There are TWO correct answers for this question 3.1

    • A.

      The allocation amount is calculated based on the quantity and price of the activity

    • B.

      The sender cost object is debited and the receiver cost object is credited

    • C.

      The cost element is derived from the master data for the activity type

    • D.

      A primary costs G/L account is used for debiting and crediting

    Correct Answer(s)
    A. The allocation amount is calculated based on the quantity and price of the activity
    C. The cost element is derived from the master data for the activity type
    Explanation
    During activity allocation, the system performs two tasks. Firstly, it calculates the allocation amount by considering the quantity and price of the activity. This helps in determining the appropriate distribution of costs. Secondly, the system derives the cost element from the master data for the activity type. This ensures that the costs are allocated correctly to the respective cost objects.

    Which costs exist in SAP S/4HANA? There are TWO correct answers for this question 3.1

    • A.

      Primary costs without G/L account

    • B.

      Secondary costs without G/L account

    • C.

      Primary costs with G/L account

    • D.

      Secondary costs with G/L account

    Correct Answer(s)
    C. Primary costs with G/L account
    D. Secondary costs with G/L account
    Explanation
    The correct answer is Primary costs with G/L account and Secondary costs with G/L account. In SAP S/4HANA, primary costs are costs that are directly related to the production of goods or services, such as raw materials or direct labor. These costs are recorded in general ledger (G/L) accounts. Secondary costs, on the other hand, are costs that are not directly related to production but are still necessary for the business, such as overhead costs or administrative expenses. These costs are also recorded in G/L accounts. Therefore, both primary and secondary costs in SAP S/4HANA are associated with G/L accounts.

    How can you define a dynamic group for internal orders? 3.1

    • A.

      Create a substitution rule for mass changes

    • B.

      Use wild cards in the order codes assigned to nodes

    • C.

      Assign a selection variant to an end node

    • D.

      Define an order coding mask for order types

    Correct Answer
    C. Assign a selection variant to an end node
    Explanation
    Assigning a selection variant to an end node allows you to define a dynamic group for internal orders. A selection variant is a set of criteria that you can use to select specific orders based on certain characteristics. By assigning this selection variant to an end node, you can dynamically group internal orders that meet the specified criteria, making it easier to manage and analyze them.

    You post an expense line in an accounting document and enter an internal order and a cost center as the account assignments. After posting, the system allows you to settle the posted values from the internal order. Which settings do the cost center and internal order have? 3.1

    • A.

      Real internal order Statistical cost center

    • B.

      Statistical internal order Statistical cost center

    • C.

      Real internal order Real cost center

    • D.

      Statistical internal order Real cost center

    Correct Answer
    D. Statistical internal order Real cost center
    Explanation
    In accounting systems like SAP, when you post an expense with both an internal order and a cost center as account assignments, the nature of these assignments determines how the expense is treated:
    Statistical Internal Order: This means that the internal order is used for informational purposes only and does not actually carry the costs. Instead, it tracks the costs for reporting and monitoring but does not hold them, meaning these costs need to be settled to a real object.
    Real Cost Center: This indicates that the cost center is the primary cost bearer. It actually accumulates and retains the costs posted to it. Since it's a real cost object, expenses assigned here don't need to be settled further (they are already considered finalized within the cost center).

    Rate this question:

  • 38. 

    You perform a settlement with a primary cost account which is different from the cost account you used to post the original expense. Which object is a valid receiver for the settlement? 3.1

    • A.

      WBS element

    • B.

      Cost center

    • C.

      Internal order

    • D.

      Fixed asset

    Correct Answer
    D. Fixed asset
    Explanation
    In this scenario, when performing a settlement with a primary cost account that is different from the original expense account, the valid receiver for the settlement would be a fixed asset. This means that the settlement will be allocated to a specific fixed asset, allowing for proper tracking and accounting of expenses related to that asset.

    Rate this question:

  • 39. 

    Which characteristic of an internal order does the order type control? 3.1

    • A.

      Time period for which the order is valid

    • B.

      Budget profile assigned to the order

    • C.

      Controlling areas the order is assigned to

    • D.

      Types of costs posted to the order

    Correct Answer
    B. Budget profile assigned to the order
    Explanation
    The order type controls the budget profile assigned to the order. A budget profile determines the budgeting parameters and settings for an order, such as the budget categories, tolerance limits, and availability control settings. By assigning a specific budget profile to an order type, the system ensures that the order is subject to the appropriate budgeting rules and constraints.
