SAP C_TS414_2023 Questions Answers

In SAP S/4HANA QM, quality notifications (e.g., transaction QM01) use catalog types to classify data in specific structure elements:

Defect Locations (A): Catalog type "A" (Defect Location) can be assigned to specify where a defect occurred (e.g., "Surface"), configured in the notification item (SPRO > QM > Quality Notifications > Catalogs).

Defect Types (D): Catalog type "9" (Defect Type) is assigned to classify the nature of the defect (e.g., "Scratch"), a standard field in the notification item.

Tasks (E): Catalog type "2" (Tasks) is used to define actions (e.g., "Repair") in the tasks tab of the notification.

Assigned Objects (B): Objects (e.g., material, batch) are referenced but don’t use catalog types directly.

Defect Causers (C): Causers (e.g., "Machine") use catalog type "5" (Causes), but this isn’t listed as "Defect causers" in standard terms; it’s typically "Causes."

Thus, "Defect locations," "Defect types," and "Tasks" are the correct answers based on standard structure elements.References: SAP Help Portal - "Catalogs in Quality Notifications"; SAP S/4HANA QM User Guide - "Notification Structure".

Control charts in SAP QM (e.g., during results recording, transaction QGC1) monitor characteristic values against statistical limits. Rejection is based on:

Action Limit (D): The action limit (upper/lower control limit, UCL/LCL) is the threshold beyond which a characteristic is rejected, indicating a process is out of control. In Customizing (SPRO > Quality Management > Quality Inspection > SPC > Define Control Charts), exceeding this limit triggers rejection or further action (e.g., defect recording).

Warning Limit (A): Warning limits (e.g., 2-sigma) signal potential issues but don’t automatically reject the characteristic; they prompt monitoring, not rejection.

Moving Average Line (B): This tracks trends but isn’t a rejection threshold.

Center Line (C): The center line (mean) is a reference, not a limit for rejection.

Thus, "Action limit" is the correct answer, aligning with SPC rejection rules.References: SAP Help Portal - "Statistical Process Control in QM"; SAP S/4HANA QM User Guide - "Control Charts".

Inspection methods in SAP S/4HANA QM (transaction QK01) define how an inspection is performed and can be assigned to specific objects in inspection planning:

Master Inspection Characteristic (B): In the MIC master data (transaction QS21/QS23), you can assign an inspection method to specify the procedure (e.g., "Visual inspection"). This is a standard assignment to ensure consistency across plans.

Inspection Characteristic in an Operation of an Inspection Plan (D): Within an inspection plan (transaction QP01), you can assign an inspection method directly to a characteristic in an operation. This overrides or supplements the MIC’s method if needed, providing flexibility during planning.

Selected Set (A): Selected sets (transaction QS51) are for qualitative codes, not for assigning inspection methods.

Work Center (C): Work centers define where an inspection occurs but do not directly accept inspection method assignments in standard SAP QM.

Thus, "Master inspection characteristic" and "Inspection characteristic in an operation of an inspection plan" are the correct answers.References: SAP Help Portal - "Inspection Methods in QM"; SAP S/4HANA QM User Guide - "Inspection Planning".

Valuation modes in SAP QM (defined in the sampling procedure, transaction QDV1) determine how quantitative characteristics are evaluated:

Manual Valuation (B): Allows manual acceptance/rejection of quantitative results (e.g., based on measured values), a standard option for flexibility.

Attributive Inspection Number of Defects (D): Used for quantitative characteristics when counting defects (e.g., scratches), treating it as an attribute-like valuation for nonconformities.

Mean Value Within Tolerance Range (E): The system valuates based on whether the mean of recorded values falls within tolerances, a common quantitative mode.

Attributive Inspection Nonconforming Units (A): Specific to qualitative attributes, not quantitative measurements.

Valuation According to Characteristic Attribute Code (C): Applies to qualitative characteristics with predefined codes, not quantitative ones.

Thus, "Manual valuation," "Attributive inspection number of defects," and "Mean value within tolerance range" are the correct answers.References: SAP Help Portal - "Valuation Modes in QM"; SAP S/4HANA QM User Guide - "Sampling Procedures".
