All C_TS422_2023 Test Inside SAP Questions

In SAP S/4HANA, a production order (transaction CO01) requires a valid production version (material master, MRP 4 view). If none can be selected, possible reasons include:

The order lot size is NOT within the validity range of a production version(A): Each production version specifies a lot size range (e.g., 100-1000 units). If the order quantity (entered in CO01) falls outside this range, the version is invalid, and the system cannot select it.

All production versions for the material are locked(C): If production versions are locked (MRP 4 view, field: Lock indicator), they are excluded from planning and order creation, even if otherwise valid, preventing selection.

NO production lines assigned(B) is irrelevant—production versions link BOMs and routings, not production lines (a repetitive manufacturing concept).NO BOMs assigned(D) would invalidate a version, but the system checks BOM validity within the version, and this is typically caught during version creation (C223), not order creation. This is per SAP’s production version validation rules.

In SAP S/4HANA,co-productsandby-productsare outputs of a production process, but they differ in purpose, valuation, and system handling:

Only co-products have movement type 101(C): Co-products are intentionally produced alongside the main product and are goods receipted into inventory using movement type 101 (transaction MIGO or CO11N confirmation) as part of the production order. This reflects their status as primary outputs with planned quantities in the BOM (marked with a negative quantity and co-product indicator in CS01). By-products, conversely, use movement type 531 for goods receipt, as they are secondary outputs.

Only co-products appear in the process or production order settlement rule(D): Co-products are included in the settlement rule of the production order (visible in CO02, Settlement Rule) because their costs are apportioned based on apportionment structures (e.g., equivalence numbers in the material master, MRP 2 view). By-products do not appear in the settlement rule; their costs are typically offset against the main product via a cost credit (configured in the BOM).

Only co-products have non-zero inventory valuation(A) is incorrect—by-products can also have inventory valuation (e.g., standard price), though often lower.Only co-products have movement type 531(B) is false—531 is specific to by-products, not co-products. This aligns with SAP’s co/by-product handling in production.

In SAP S/4HANA, MRP can be configured to exclude certain materials from planning runs to optimize processing or reflect specific business needs. One method is to use aspecific material status(B), maintained in the material master (e.g., under the MRP view). A status such as "Blockedfor Procurement/Production" (configured in Customizing under Logistics - General > Material Master > Settings for Key Fields > Define Material Statuses) prevents the material from being planned in MRP, effectively excluding it from the run.

Another method is to assign aspecific MRP type(D), such as "ND" (No Planning), in the material master (MRP 1 view). This MRP type instructs the system not to generate requirements or planned orders for the material, excluding it from MRP processing.Using a specific MRP list(A) is not a valid exclusion method, as the MRP list is an output of the MRP run, not a control mechanism. Similarly,using a specific material group(C) does not inherently exclude materials from MRP, as material groups are for classification and reporting, not MRP control. These options align with SAP’s standard MRP configuration settings.

In SAP S/4HANA, a material availability check ensures components are available before production proceeds. This check can be triggered automatically:

By order release(C): When a production order is released (transaction CO02 or mass release via CO05N), the system can perform an availability check based on settings in the order type-dependent parameters (Customizing: Production > Shop Floor Control > Define Order Types). The "Availability Check" field (e.g., "2 - Check at Release") triggers this automatically, ensuring materials are reserved or shortages are flagged.

By mass processing(D): Using transaction COHV (Mass Processing of Production Orders), planners can execute availability checks for multiple orders simultaneously. The function "Check Material Availability" can be scheduled or run manually, automating the process across orders.

By capacity planning(A) focuses on work center capacity, not material availability.By order confirmation(B) may trigger a check for remaining quantities, but it’s not a standard automatic trigger point—it’s more relevant for backflushing or goods issue. This is outlined in SAP’s production order management documentation.
