SAP C_S4TM_2023 SAP Certified Associate - SAP S/4HANA Cloud Private Edition, Transportation Management Exam Practice Test

In SAP S/4HANA Transportation Management, a freight agreement RFQ master is used to solicit bids from carriers for multiple RFQ items. According to the SAP documentation, when Carrier A is not incumbent for three RFQ items and is removed from those, it remains eligible for the remaining four items. When individual freight agreement RFQs are generated, one RFQ is created per carrier for the items they are assigned to. Since Carrier A is assigned to four RFQ items,four individual freight agreement RFQsare created for Carrier A, one for each item.

The other options are incorrect:

A (1)is incorrect because a single RFQ would not cover multiple items for a carrier.

C (3)is incorrect because it reflects the items Carrier A was removed from, not the ones assigned.

D (7)is incorrect because Carrier A is not assigned to all seven items.

In SAP S/4HANA Transportation Management, thefreight unitis the central object used to track and trace the entire journey of goods across multiple transportation stages. A freight unit represents a logistical unit of goods that are transported together, and it is used to manage and monitor the transportation process from start to finish, including all stages such as loading, transport, and unloading. According to the SAP S/4HANA Transportation Management documentation, freight units are created based on requirements (e.g., sales orders, deliveries) and serve as the basis for planning and execution. They contain all relevant information about the goods, such as weight, volume, and transportation requirements, and they remain consistent across multiple stages, enabling end-to-end tracking.

Freight bookings, freight orders, and consignment orders have different roles:

Freight bookingis used for ocean or air transport and typically represents a contract with a carrier for a specific shipment.

Freight orderis used for road or rail transport and represents the execution document assigned to a carrier.

Consignment orderis a logical grouping for communication between shippers and consignees, not primarily for tracking goods across stages.

The freight unit, however, is the only object that consistently tracks the goods across all stages of transportation, making it the correct choice.

In SAP S/4HANA Transportation Management, forward and backward scheduling in the transportation cockpit is supported for thefreight order (A). According to the SAP documentation, freight orders, which represent the execution of transportation, allow planners to perform forward scheduling (calculating end dates based on start dates) and backward scheduling (calculating start dates based on required delivery dates) to optimize transport timelines. This functionality is available in the transportation cockpit to ensure alignment with transportation requirements and constraints.

The other options are incorrect:

Forwarding order (B)is used for logistics service provider scenarios and does not typically support forward and backward scheduling in the transportation cockpit.

Sales order (C)originates in sales and distribution and is not directly scheduled in the transportation cockpit.

Freight unit (D)represents goods for planning but does not support scheduling at this level.

In SAP S/4HANA Transportation Management, theconsignment order (C)is a logical grouping document used to facilitate communication between shippers and consignees. According to the SAP documentation, consignment orders group transportation requirements (e.g., freight units) and are used to manage the interaction between the shipper (who sends the goods) and the consignee (who receives them), providing a consolidated view of the transportation process for both parties.

The other options are incorrect:

Freight order (A)is an execution document for assigning carriers and managing transport, not primarily for shipper-consignee communication.

Service order (B)is used for internal service-related activities, not for external communication.

Sales order (D)originates in sales and distribution and triggers transportation requirements but is not used for shipper-consignee communication.

In an SAP S/4HANA Cloud brownfield project, remodeling business processes to align with clean core principles involves standardizing and optimizing processes. According to the SAP documentation, the following SAP Signavio solutions are used for process remodeling:

SAP Signavio Process Governance (A): This solution supports process governance by defining and enforcing standardized process models, ensuring compliance with clean core principles.

SAP Signavio Process Manager (C): This tool is used to model and design business processes, allowing users to remodel existing processes to align with SAP’s standard functionality.

The other options are incorrect:

SAP Signavio Process Intelligence (B)focuses on process analysis and mining, not direct remodeling.

SAP Signavio Process Insights (D)provides insights into process performance but is not used for remodeling processes.

In SAP S/4HANA Transportation Management, to plan freight units with multiple stages and assign different carriers to each stage, you define the carriers in thetransportation lane (C). According to the SAP documentation, transportation lanes specify the valid carriers for specific routes or stages, including multi-leg scenarios. By configuring different carriers for each stage within the transportation lane, the system ensures that the appropriate carrier is assigned during planning for each leg of the transport.

The other options are incorrect:

Schedule (A)defines departure times and carriers for regular transports but is not used for stage-specific carrier assignments in freight units.

Default route (B)is used for simplified routing but does not support detailed stage-specific carrier assignments.

Carrier profile (D)contains carrier attributes but does not define stage-specific assignments for freight units.

In SAP S/4HANA Transportation Management, the cost distribution function allows transportation costs to be included in the material valuation, typically through integration with Materials Management (MM). According to the SAP documentation, the following documents support this requirement:

Purchase order (B): Purchase orders can include transportation costs as part of the procurement process, enabling these costs to be distributed to the material valuation in MM.

Stock transport order (C): Stock transport orders, used for inter-plant or inter-company stock transfers, support the inclusion of transportation costs in the material valuation, as these costs are relevant to the transfer process.

Inbound delivery (E): Inbound deliveries, which represent the receipt of goods, can incorporate transportation costs from freight settlement documents, allowing these costs to be distributed to the material valuation.

The other options are incorrect:

Sales order (A)is used in sales and distribution to trigger transportation requirements but does not directly support cost distribution for material valuation.

Outbound delivery (D)is relevant for shipping goods but is not typically used to distribute transportation costs to material valuation, as this is more applicable to inbound processes.

In a shipper-to-LSP B2B scenario where both parties use SAP Transportation Management, the LSP plans and executes transportation for the shipper. According to the SAP documentation, the key documents involved are:

LSP’s forwarding quotation (A): The LSP creates a forwarding quotation to provide a price estimate to the shipper, which forms the basis for the transportation agreement.

Shipper’s freight unit (D): The shipper creates freight units based on their transportation requirements (e.g., from sales orders), which are transferred to the LSP for planning and execution.

The other options are incorrect:

LSP’s service order (B)is used for internal services, not for shipper-LSP interactions.

Shipper’s freight order (C)is created by the shipper for direct carrier execution, not in a scenario where the LSP handles planning and execution.

When a freight settlement document (FSD) is transferred from SAP S/4HANA Transportation Management to Materials Management (MM) without cost distribution enabled, the system creates specific documents to handle the financial settlement. According to the SAP documentation:

Service entry sheet (B)is created in MM to record the services performed by the carrier, based on the FSD details.

Purchase order (C)is generated to formalize the procurement of transportation services, linked to the FSD.

The other options are incorrect:

Carrier invoice (A)is not created automatically in MM; it may be received from the carrier but is not a system-generated document.

Settlement management document (D)is used in SAP S/4HANA for contract-based settlement but is not directly created from the FSD in this scenario.

In SAP S/4HANA Transportation Management, the Mass Update function is used to adjust rates in a rate table. To increase rates by 3% for a specific source country, you must specify thescale range (A)in the Update Rates function. According to the SAP documentation, the scale range defines the criteria (e.g., source country) for which the rate adjustment applies, allowing the system to filter and update the relevant rates. For example, the scale range can be configured to target rates associated with a specific country, and the percentage increase (3%) is applied to those rates.

The other options are incorrect:

Scale item (B)refers to individual entries within a scale, not the range used for filtering.

Currency (C)specifies the currency of the rates but is not sufficient to target a source country.

Rounding profile (D)defines how rates are rounded, not the criteria for updating rates.

In SAP Business Network for Logistics, dispute management allows carriers to interact with freight settlement documents to resolve discrepancies. According to the SAP documentation:

Upload files (A)is a supported activity, as carriers can upload documents (e.g., proof of delivery or additional evidence) to support their dispute claims.

Add a detention charge (B)is allowed, as carriers can add assessorial charges, such as detention charges, to address additional costs incurred during transportation.

The other options are incorrect:

Change the document currency (C)is not typically allowed in dispute management, as the currency is defined in the freight agreement or settlement document.

Change a charge line's calculation base (D)is managed by the shipper or system configuration, not by the carrier during dispute management.

In SAP S/4HANA Transportation Management, driver management settings for freight orders are configured in the freight order type customization. According to the SAP documentation, thehome location (C)is a key setting maintained in freight order customization, specifying the base location for drivers assigned to freight orders. This setting helps in planning and scheduling by considering the driver’s starting point.

The other options are incorrect:

Default truck handling (A)is not a standard setting in freight order customization; it may relate to vehicle resource configuration.

Default driver (B)is assigned in vehicle resources or planning profiles, not directly in freight order type customization.

Resource requirements (D)(corrected from "Number of required drivers" in the original document for clarity) are defined in vehicle resources or planning settings, not freight order customization.

In SAP S/4HANA Transportation Management, the load planning function optimizes the assignment of freight units to vehicles to maximize capacity utilization. According to the SAP documentation, load planning can be initiated from:

Freight order (A): Load planning can be started directly from a freight order, allowing planners to optimize the load for the specific transport assigned to a truck.

Transportation cockpit (D): The transportation cockpit provides a centralized interface for planning activities, including initiating load planning for one or more trucks.

The other options are incorrect:

Vehicle resource (B)represents the truck itself but is not a direct entry point for starting load planning.

Freight booking (C)is used for ocean or air transport and does not typically support load planning for trucks.

In SAP S/4HANA Transportation Management, integration with SAP Extended Warehouse Management (EWM) is triggered from thefreight order. According to the SAP documentation, the freight order is the execution document that contains the planned transportation details, such as the assigned carrier, vehicle, and schedule. It serves as the basis for communicating transportation requirements to the warehouse for picking, packing, and loading activities. The integration between SAP TM and SAP EWM typically occurs during the execution phase, where the freight order triggers processes like loading or staging in the warehouse.

The other options are incorrect:

Freight unit (A)represents the logistical unit of goods but is not directly used to trigger EWM integration; it is linked to the freight order for execution.

Consignment order (C)is a logical grouping for communication between shippers and consignees, not for warehouse integration.

Package unit (D)is used for packaging-related data and does not trigger EWM integration.

In SAP S/4HANA Transportation Management, the number of columns displayed in a forwarding order worklist can be customized by defining anew page layout (B). According to the SAP documentation, the page layout in SAP Fiori or the transportation cockpit allows users to configure which columns are displayed in worklists, tailoring the interface to show only relevant information. This is done in the configuration settings for the worklist or cockpit interface.

The other options are incorrect:

Define a new view (A)is not a standard term in SAP TM for worklist customization; views are more relevant in other SAP modules.

Define a new query (C)is used for data retrieval but does not control column display.

Apply a filter (D)reduces the data rows displayed but does not limit the number of columns.

In a side-by-side deployment between SAP S/4HANA and SAP S/4HANA Transportation Management, master data such as business partners, products, and locations are transferred using theData Replication Framework (DRF) (A). According to the SAP documentation, DRF is the standard interface for replicating master data between SAP S/4HANA systems in a side-by-side scenario, ensuring consistency and synchronization of data like business partners, materials, and locations.

The other options are incorrect:

Core interface (CIF) (B)is used in SAP APO and SAP SCM, not in SAP S/4HANA TM side-by-side deployments.

Intermediate document (IDoc) (C)may be used for transactional data but is not the primary interface for master data replication.

Web service (WS) (D)is used for specific integrations but not for standard master data replication in this scenario.

SAP recommends several guiding principles to achieve clean core operations in SAP S/4HANA Cloud, focusing on standardization and minimal customizations. According to the SAP documentation:

Define roles and responsibilities as part of a process transformation office (C): A process transformation office ensures clear ownership and governance for maintaining clean core standards.

Establish release management (D): Release management ensures that system updates and extensions align with clean core principles, minimizing disruptions.

Integrate clean core practices in the end-to-end value process chain (E): Embedding clean core practices across all business processes ensures consistency and adherence to standard SAP functionality.

The other options are incorrect:

Establish an organizational structure, technical foundation, and transformation methodology (A)is important but not specifically listed as a clean core guiding principle in SAP’s framework.

Establish regular housekeeping tasks and procedures (B)is a general system maintenance practice, not a core clean core principle.

In SAP S/4HANA Transportation Management, schedule departures define planned departure times for transportation, such as for regular routes. According to the SAP documentation, schedule departures can be created by:

Upload via report (A): Users can upload schedule departures using a report or data import tool, allowing mass creation or updates.

Generate from a rule (B): Schedule departures can be generated automatically based on predefined rules, such as recurring schedules for specific routes.

The other options are incorrect:

Copy from a freight booking (C)is not a standard method for creating schedule departures, as freight bookings are execution documents for ocean or air transport.

Maintain in default route (D)relates to route configuration but does not directly involve creating schedule departures.

In SAP S/4HANA Transportation Management, resources represent assets used in transportation, and some can define capacity for planning purposes. According to the SAP documentation:

Transportation unit resource (A): Represents vehicles or trailers and includes capacity attributes (e.g., weight, volume) used in planning to ensure goods fit within the resource’s limits.

Handling resource (D): Represents equipment like forklifts or cranes, which can have capacity definitions (e.g., handling capacity) for warehouse or loading activities.

The other options are incorrect:

Calendar resource (B)defines availability schedules but does not represent physical capacity.

Equipment types (C)categorize equipment but do not directly define capacity, which is set in specific resources.

In SAP S/4HANA Transportation Management, the Post-Processing Framework (PPF) is used to automate actions such as printing documents, sending emails, and generating XML messages. According to the SAP documentation, a single PPF action profile can be assigned to a freight order type (e.g., FOT1) and can include multiple actions, such as printing a road waybill, printing a loading list, printing labels, sending emails, and sending XML messages. Each action is defined within the action profile, and the profile is then linked to the freight order type in Customizing. Since all the required actions (printing documents and sending messages) can be configured within one action profile, the minimum number of PPF action profiles needed is1.

The other options are incorrect:

A (4), C (2), and D (3)suggest multiple action profiles, which are unnecessary since a single profile can handle all actions.

In SAP S/4HANA Transportation Management without geographical services (e.g., GIS integration), geographical coordinates for locations cannot be automatically determined with high precision. According to the SAP documentation:

The location coordinates are determined at region or country level (A): The system can assign approximate coordinates based on predefined region or country data in the location master data, providing a basic level of geographical information.

The location coordinates are determined based on manual entry (D): Users can manually enter coordinates in the location master data to specify the exact position of a location.

The other options are incorrect:

The location coordinates cannot be determined (B)is incorrect because coordinates can be assigned manually or at a region/country level.

The location coordinates are determined at street level (C)requires geographical services for precise geocoding, which is not available in this scenario.

When an assessorial charge is added to a freight order after the initial freight settlement document (FSD) is posted, and the change strategy is set to "Reverse and Repost with new FSD," the system handles the update as follows, according to SAP documentation:

2 FSDs and 1 credit memo in transportation management (B): The original FSD is reversed with a credit memo, and a new FSD is created to include the assessorial charge, resulting in two FSDs (the original and the new) and one credit memo.

3 FSDs in transportation management (C): This includes the original FSD, the credit memo (counted as a separate document in some configurations), and the new FSD with the updated charges.

The other options are incorrect:

1 purchase order in materials management (A)is not guaranteed, as the number of purchase orders depends on the original setup and may not change with the FSD update.

3 service entry sheets in materials management (D)is unlikely, as typically one service entry sheet is updated or replaced, not multiplied, during the reversal and reposting process.

In SAP S/4HANA Transportation Management, change controller strategies define how changes to documents are managed (e.g., reversing or creating new documents). According to the SAP documentation, change controller strategies can be assigned to:

Freight order (A): Change controller strategies are used to manage modifications to freight orders, such as adding charges or updating quantities, ensuring proper handling in execution.

Forwarding order (B): In LSP scenarios, change controller strategies are applied to forwarding orders to control changes related to customer requirements or subcontracting.

The other options are incorrect:

Service order (C)is used for internal services and does not typically support change controller strategies in SAP TM.

Order-based transportation requirement (D)is a planning document and does not use change controller strategies, which are relevant to execution documents.

In SAP S/4HANA Transportation Management, the logistics integration profile defines how stages are created based on Incoterms and Incoterm locations specified in a sales order. When the setting is "Source location to Incoterm location - type 1," the system creates stages as follows:

Anactive stage from the Incoterm location to the destination location, which is planning-relevant and managed in transportation management.

Anon-planning-relevant stage from the source location to the Incoterm location, which is created for documentation purposes but not actively planned in SAP TM.

According to the SAP documentation, this configuration reflects the Incoterm responsibility split, where the Incoterm location marks the point where responsibility shifts (e.g., from seller to buyer). Thus,two stages are created (B): one active stage for the transport leg after the Incoterm location and one non-planning-relevant stage before it.

The other options are incorrect:

AandDonly account for one stage, ignoring the additional non-planning-relevant stage.

Creverses the active and non-planning-relevant stages, which does not align with the "type 1" setting.
