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

Answer : A, D

For a customer complaint notification (type Q1, transaction QM01), standard reference documents include:

Delivery (A): Outbound delivery documents (e.g., from VL01N) are commonly referenced, linking the complaint to a shipped item (SPRO > QM > Quality Notifications > Notification Creation).

Sales Order (D): Sales orders (e.g., from VA01) can be referenced to trace the complaint back to the original customer order.

Quotation (B): Quotations are pre-sales documents and not standard references for QM notifications.

Material Document (C): Material documents (e.g., GR) are procurement-related, not typical for customer complaints.

Thus, 'Delivery' and 'Sales order' are the correct answers.

Answer : A, D

Defects recording for inspection lots (e.g., transaction QE51N) requires specific Customizing:

Assign a Notification Type to an Inspection Type (A): In Customizing (SPRO > QM > Quality Inspection > Inspection Lot Creation > Maintain Inspection Types), linking a notification type (e.g., Q3) to an inspection type (e.g., 01) enables automatic or manual notification creation for defects, a mandatory step for integration.

Define the Report Type (D): The report type (SPRO > QM > Quality Inspection > Defects Recording > Define Report Types) must be defined to determine the defect recording layout and process, a required setting.

Activate the Workflow Template (B): Workflow is optional for notifications, not mandatory for defect recording.

Activate Reference to Existing Notifications (C): This is an optional enhancement, not a requirement.

Thus, 'Assign a notification type to an inspection type' and 'Define the report type' are the correct answers.

Answer : A, C

The 8D methodology in SAP QM is an internal problem-solving process triggered by quality issues:

Defects Recording for an Inspection Lot (A): Recording defects in an inspection lot (e.g., transaction QE51N) can initiate an 8D process via a linked notification (e.g., Q2), a standard starting point (SPRO > QM > Quality Notifications > 8D Methodology).

Item of a Quality Notification (C): The notification item (e.g., in QM01) directly supports 8D by documenting the problem (D1) and subsequent steps, a primary entry point.

Defect of Defect Category Generic Defect (B): 'Generic Defect' isn't a standard category; defect types are specific (e.g., production, supplier).

Defect of the Defect Category Production Defect (D): While relevant, it's the act of recording (A) or notification (C) that starts 8D, not the category alone.

Thus, 'Defects recording for an inspection lot' and 'Item of a quality notification' are the correct answers.

Answer : B, D

Inspection lots with origin 03 (Production) in SAP QM are triggered during production processes (e.g., order release or goods receipt). The task list types used are:

Routing (B): In production (PP), routings (transaction CA01) define operations and can include QM-relevant operations with inspection characteristics. For inspection lot origin 03, the system uses routings when QM is integrated with PP, especially for in-process inspections.

Inspection Plan (D): The inspection plan (transaction QP01) is the primary QM task list for origin 03, defining detailed inspection steps (e.g., characteristics, sampling) for production-related lots, such as goods receipt from production.

Master Recipe (A): Used in Process Industries (PP-PI) for recipes (transaction C201), not standard for discrete manufacturing origin 03 lots.

Equipment Task List (C): Relevant for Plant Maintenance (PM), not production QM lots.

Thus, 'Routing' and 'Inspection plan' are the correct answers for origin 03.

Answer : A, D

Outbound quality inspections (e.g., inspection type 10) in Sales and Distribution (SD) occur for deliveries:

The Inspection is Skipped (A): If no inspection type (e.g., 10) is active in the material master or quality info record: SD, the inspection can be skipped, a valid option in standard SAP.

The Inspection Occurs Before the Goods Issue is Posted (D): For inspection type 10, the inspection lot is created with the delivery (before goods issue, transaction VL02N), allowing inspection before stock is moved (standard process).

After Release of the Sales Order (B): Inspections are tied to deliveries, not sales order release.

After Creation of the Sales Order (C): Inspection lots are not created at SO creation; they require a delivery.

Thus, 'The inspection is skipped' and 'The inspection occurs before the goods issue is posted' are the correct answers.

Answer : A, B

To record inspection results for an inspection lot (e.g., transaction QE51N):

The Sample Determination Has Been Performed for the Inspection Lot (A): The lot must have its sample size calculated (status 'SAMP' or 'INSP') based on the sampling procedure, a prerequisite for result entry (SPRO > QM > Quality Inspection > Sample Management).

The Inspection Operations Are Released for Inspection Results Recording (B): Operations in the inspection plan must be released (status REL) to allow result recording, ensuring the lot is ready (transaction QP01).

The Inspection Methods Are Part of the Inspection Specifications (C): Methods guide execution but aren't a condition for recording.

The Inspection Specifications Have Been Assigned to the Inspection Lot (D): Specs (e.g., material specs) are linked implicitly via the plan, not a separate condition.

Thus, 'The sample determination has been performed for the inspection lot' and 'The inspection operations are released for inspection results recording' are the correct answers.

Answer : C, D

To enable multiple results recording for the same inspection characteristic within one operation in SAP S/4HANA QM (e.g., transaction QE51N), specific sampling procedures are used:

Using Sampling Procedure with Independent Multiple Samples (C): This sampling type (configured in transaction QDV1) allows recording multiple independent results for a characteristic (e.g., 5 separate measurements), each valuated individually. It's ideal for detailed analysis within an operation (SPRO > QM > Quality Inspection > Sample Management).

Using Sampling Procedure with Inspection Points (D): Inspection points (set in the inspection plan header, transaction QP01, and linked to a sampling procedure) enable multiple recordings over time or events (e.g., per shift), supporting repeated results for the same characteristic.

Using Sampling Procedure with Sampling Scheme (A): Sampling schemes (e.g., ISO 2859) define sample sizes but don't inherently allow multiple results per characteristic.

Using Conditional Inspection Characteristics (B): Conditional characteristics depend on other results but don't facilitate multiple recordings of the same characteristic.

Thus, 'Using sampling procedure with independent multiple samples' and 'Using sampling procedure with inspection points' are the correct answers.
