SAP Certified Associate - SAP S/4HANA Cloud Private Edition, Quality Management C_TS414_2023 Exam Practice Test

Answer : A, C, E

Inspection points in SAP QM (configured in the inspection plan header, transaction QP01) allow multiple recordings within an inspection lot. Standard types include:

Inspection Point for Sample (A): Used for physical samples (e.g., per sample drawn), defined via inspection point type '1' (sample-based) in Customizing (SPRO > QM > Quality Planning > Inspection Planning > Define Inspection Point Types). Common in goods receipt or production.

Inspection Point for Functional Location (C): Type '3' supports inspections tied to functional locations (Plant Maintenance integration), used for equipment or facility checks within QM.

Inspection Point for Equipment (E): Type '2' links to equipment master records (PM), enabling equipment-specific inspection points in QM processes.

Inspection Point for Incoming Certificates (B): Certificates are managed separately (e.g., quality certificates in procurement), not as an inspection point type.

Inspection Point for Defects Recording (D): Defects are recorded within inspection points, but this is not a distinct type; it's a function of existing types.

Thus, 'Inspection point for sample,' 'Inspection point for functional location,' and 'Inspection point for equipment' are the correct answers.

Answer : D

The catalog profile in the material master determines the set of codes available for quality processes like defect recording or usage decisions. Its assignment occurs at a specific organizational level:

Plant Level (D): In the material master (transaction MM01/MM02), the catalog profile is assigned in the Quality Management view under the 'Inspection Setup' section (field QMAT-PROF). This is done at the plant level because QM processes (e.g., inspections) are plant-specific, and the catalog profile must align with the plant's quality requirements. This is standard SAP behavior, ensuring flexibility across different plants for the same material.

Company Code Level (A): QM settings are not managed at the company code level, as this is a financial organizational unit unrelated to inspection processes.

Client Level (B): Client-level settings are too broad and apply globally, whereas catalog profiles need plant-specific granularity.

Business Area Level (C): Business areas are used for financial reporting, not QM organizational assignments.

Thus, 'Plant level' is the correct answer, reflecting SAP's organizational structure for QM data.

Answer : A, C

Certificate profiles for outgoing certificates (transaction QC01) define certificate content:

The Print Sequence of Characteristics (A): In the certificate profile, you set the order of characteristics (e.g., MICs or class characteristics) to appear on the certificate (SPRO > QM > Quality Certificates > Outgoing > Define Certificate Profiles).

The Print Layout (C): The profile links to a form (e.g., via SAPscript or Smart Forms), defining the layout of the printed certificate.

The Characteristics to be Inspected (B): Characteristics are selected, not inspected, within the profile; inspection occurs in lots.

The Inspection Operations to be Executed (D): Operations are part of plans, not certificate profiles.

Thus, 'The print sequence of characteristics' and 'The print layout' are the correct answers.

Answer : A, B

The quality info record: Procurement (transaction QI01/QI02) manages supplier-material relationships and can impose release restrictions:

To a Quantity, by Entering a Release Quantity (A): In the quality info record, you can set a 'Release Quantity' field to limit the approved purchase quantity (e.g., 100 units). Once exceeded, further approval is needed, a standard feature.

Until the Supplier Has Provided a Quality Certificate, by Entering a Certificate Type (B): You can specify a certificate type (e.g., 'ISO 9001') in the 'Certificate' field, blocking release until the supplier provides it, verified during goods receipt.

To a Period of Time, by Supplying a Release Date (C): While validity dates exist, they define the record's lifespan, not a specific release restriction mechanism.

Until the Supplier Quality Score is Better Than a Threshold (D): Quality scores influence supplier evaluation but aren't directly set as a release condition in the info record.

Thus, 'A' and 'B' are the correct answers, reflecting standard SAP QM functionality.

Answer : C

In SAP S/4HANA QM, outgoing quality certificates are generated for outbound deliveries (e.g., inspection type 10 or 11) to provide quality data to customers:

Delivery Item Level (C): Certificates are created at the delivery item level (transaction QC20) because each item in a delivery (VL01N) can have unique materials, batches, and inspection results requiring specific certificate data. The certificate profile (transaction QC01) is assigned to material/customer combinations, and the system generates certificates per item based on this linkage (SPRO > QM > Quality Certificates > Outgoing).

Material Level (A): Certificates aren't created at the material master level; they're tied to specific delivery transactions.

Shipping Point Level (B): Shipping points manage logistics, not certificate granularity.

Delivery Header Level (D): While the delivery header exists, certificates are item-specific to reflect individual material quality.

Thus, 'Delivery item level' is the correct answer.

Answer : A, B, D

Standard SAP Fiori apps (e.g., 'Record Defects,' App ID F2175) support defect categories tied to QM processes:

Supplier Defect (A): Linked to procurement (e.g., inspection type 01), recordable via apps for supplier-related issues.

Production Defect (B): Tied to production lots (e.g., type 03/04), a standard category in Fiori defect recording.

Customer Defect (D): Associated with customer complaints (e.g., notification type Q1), supported in apps.

Generic Defect (C): Not a specific standard category; defects are context-specific.

Warehouse Defect (E): Typically stock-related (type 08), not a distinct Fiori category.

Thus, 'Supplier defect,' 'Production defect,' and 'Customer defect' are the correct answers.

Answer : D

Configuring a quality department release for supplier-material purchasing is managed in:

Quality Info Record: Procurement (D): The quality info record (transaction QI01) includes a 'Release Required' indicator and status profile settings, allowing the quality department to approve or block purchasing from a supplier for a material. This is the standard object for supplier-specific QM controls (SPRO > QM > Quality Inspection > Quality Info Record).

Business Partner (A): Manages supplier data but not QM release requirements.

Material Master (B): Defines inspection types but not supplier-specific release by the quality department.

Inspection Plan (C): Specifies inspection details, not release processes.

Thus, 'Quality info record: Procurement' is the correct answer.
