C_TS422_2023 Exam Dumps : SAP Certified Associate - SAP S/4HANA Cloud Private Edition, Production Planning and Manufacturing

In SAP S/4HANA Cloud Private Edition, alternative items in a BOM (transaction CS01/CS02) allow substitution of components based on predefined strategies. These are maintained in the BOM item data (Alternative Item Group and Strategy fields). The available strategies are:

Manual maintenance(C): This strategy (Strategy field: "1" - Manual Maintenance) allows planners to manually select which alternative item to use during production order processing (e.g., in CO02). The system does not automate selection, relying on user intervention based on availability or preference.

100% check(D): This strategy (Strategy field: "2" - 100% Check) ensures that only one alternative item is used per order, with the system checking availability (via ATP) for 100% of the required quantity. If the first item isn’t fully available, it moves to the next in the priority sequence (Priority field).

First in first out (FIFO)(A) is a stock management concept (e.g., in WM or batch determination),not a BOM alternative item strategy.Simultaneous(B) is not a standard strategy—alternative items are sequential or selective, not used simultaneously unless custom-developed. This aligns with SAP’s BOM functionality documentation.

In SAP S/4HANA PP/DS, theFinite Scheduling with Reversestrategy (configured in the strategy profile, transaction /SAPAPO/CDPSC11) schedules operations backward from a fixed end date, respecting finite capacity. To allow scheduling in the past (e.g., before today’s date):

Specify a negative offset time(A): In the strategy profile (Detailed Scheduling tab, field: Scheduling Offset), a negative value (e.g., -2 days) shifts the scheduling reference point into the past. This allows operations to be scheduled before the current date, accommodating scenarios where late planning or historical adjustments are needed, while still respecting capacity constraints.

Negative opening period(B) isn’t a standard PP/DS parameter—it’s a production order term (MRP 2 view) for order start buffers, not scheduling control.Negative planning horizon(C) (Planning Horizon in /SAPAPO/CDPSC11) defines the future planning scope, not past scheduling.Negative PP/DS horizon(D) refers to the PP/DS planning horizon (Customizing), which limits planning scope forward, not backward. This is per SAP’s PP/DS scheduling configuration.

For a make-to-order (MTO) scenario in SAP S/4HANA without forecasting, where components have different procurement behaviors:

Choose planning strategy 20 (Make-to-Order) and select the corresponding Individual/Collective indicator(D): Strategy 20 (material master, MRP 3 view, Strategy Group: 20) is pure MTO, where production is triggered by sales orders (VA01) without PIRs—fitting the "no forecasting" requirement. TheIndividual/Collective indicator(material master, MRP 4 view, field: Ind./Coll.) is set to "1" (Individual Requirements) for the component procured per sales order, generating separate dependent requirements per order, and "2" (Collective Requirements) for the component procured jointly, aggregating requirements across all orders into a single planned order or requisition.

Planning strategy 50 (Planning without final assembly)(A, C) relies on PIRs for subassemblies, conflicting with the "no forecasting" condition.Mixed MRP indicator(B, C) (MRP 4 view) applies to mixed MTS/MTO scenarios (e.g., strategy 11), not pure MTO, and doesn’t address the individual/collective split directly. Strategy 20 with the indicator meets SAP’s MTO configuration standards.
