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 (set in the sampling procedure, transaction QDV1) for qualitative characteristics include:

Attributive Inspection Nonconforming Units (A): Used for qualitative characteristics (e.g., pass/fail), counting nonconforming units against a sample to determine acceptance (e.g., ANSI/ASQ Z1.4).

Manual Valuation (C): Allows manual acceptance/rejection of qualitative results (e.g., "Good" or "Bad"), a flexible option for subjective assessments.

Variable Inspection s-Method (B): Applies to quantitative characteristics using statistical variance, not qualitative ones.

Mean Value Within Tolerance Range (D): Specific to quantitative data, not applicable to qualitative characteristics.

Thus, "Attributive inspection nonconforming units" and "Manual valuation" are the correct answers.References: SAP Help Portal - "Valuation Modes for Qualitative Characteristics"; SAP S/4HANA QM User Guide - "Sampling Procedures".

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.References: SAP Help Portal - "Outbound Inspections in QM"; SAP S/4HANA QM User Guide - "SD Integration".

For quantitative characteristics in results recording (transaction QE51N), control indicators in the MIC (transaction QS23) define how results are confirmed:

Summarized Recording (B): Records a single aggregated value (e.g., average) for the sample, a standard option for efficiency.

Classed Recording (C): Results are grouped into classes (e.g., ranges like 10-15 mm), common for statistical analysis.

Single Result (D): Each individual result is recorded separately, ideal for detailed tracking.

Mean Value and Standard Deviation (A): These are calculated outputs, not control indicators for recording type.

Mean Value (E): This is a result, not a control indicator for how data is entered.

Thus, "Summarized recording," "Classed recording," and "Single result" are the correct answers.References: SAP Help Portal - "Results Recording for Quantitative Characteristics"; SAP S/4HANA QM User Guide - "Control Indicators".

The quality info record: SD (transaction QVDM) specifies QM requirements for outbound deliveries:

Customer and Sales Organization (A): This combination allows generic inspection settings for a customer across a sales organization, a valid standard option.

Customer, Material, and Sales Organization (B): This is the most specific combination, enabling material-specific inspection requirements for a customer within a sales org (SPRO > QM > Quality Inspection > Quality Info Record: SD).

Customer, Material, and Division (C): Division isn’t a key field for the SD info record in standard SAP.

Customer, Material, and Distribution Channel (D): Distribution channel isn’t part of the key; sales org is used instead.

Thus, "A" and "B" are the correct answers.References: SAP Help Portal - "Quality Info Record: SD"; SAP S/4HANA QM User Guide - "SD Quality Management".

SAP’s clean core principles (as per S/4HANA Cloud strategy) aim for a standardized, upgrade-friendly system:

Establish an Organizational Structure, Technical Foundation, and Transformation Methodology for Clean Core (A): This foundational principle ensures governance and methodology (e.g., SAP Activate) for clean core adoption.

Integrate Clean Core Practices in the End-to-End Value Process Chain (B): Embedding clean core into business processes ensures minimal customization and maximum standard use.

Establish Regular Housekeeping Tasks and Procedures (C): Ongoing maintenance (e.g.,data cleanup) keeps the system lean and standard-compliant.

Establish Release Management (D): While important, it’s a broader IT practice, not a core clean core principle.

Define Roles and Responsibilities as Part of a Process Transformation Office (E): Useful but not a primary SAP-defined clean core principle.

Thus, "A, B, C" are the correct answers.References: SAP Help Portal - "Clean Core Strategy"; SAP S/4HANA Cloud Best Practices - "Clean Core".

In SAP S/4HANA Cloud Private Edition, Quality Management, certificate profiles for outgoing certificates (e.g., quality certificates issued to customers) are assigned to specific key combinations that define the context in which the certificate is generated. The certificate profile determines which characteristics and data are included on the certificate, typically for an outbound delivery process. The key combination "Material/Customer" is the standard option that can be used without additional configuration because it aligns with the default settings in SAP’s Quality Management (QM) module for certificate processing.

Material/Customer: This combination links the certificate profile to a specific material and customer, allowing the system to retrieve relevant inspection results and batch data for that pairing. It is preconfigured in the standard SAP system under the certificate profile assignment in Customizing (SPRO > Quality Management > Quality Certificates > Outgoing > Define Certificate Profiles). No additional settings are required because this is a common business scenario where certificates are tailored to customer-specific requirements for a material.

Material: Assigning a certificate profile only to a material requires additional settings to ensure the system knows which customer or delivery context to apply it to, as certificates are typically customer-facing. This option is valid but not default without further configuration.

Material Type: This is too broad and not directly supported as a standalone key combination for certificate profiles without custom enhancements, as certificate profiles need more specific granularity.

Customer: Assigning to just a customer lacks the material context, making it incomplete for certificate generation without additional setup.

Thus, "Material/Customer" is the most straightforward and default-supported key combination.References: SAP Help Portal - "Quality Certificates in QM" (Outgoing Certificates); SAP S/4HANA Cloud Private Edition, Quality Management Certification Guide (C_TS414_2023).

In SAP S/4HANA QM, the action box in quality notifications (e.g., transaction QM02) triggersfollow-up actions, which can be documented as:

As Task (C): Activities from the action box (e.g., "Send email") can be created as tasks in the notification’s task tab, using catalog type 2 (Tasks). This is a standard option for actionable steps (SPRO > QM > Quality Notifications > Define Action Box).

As Activity (D): Activities can be logged in the activities tab (catalog type 8) to record completed actions (e.g., "Email sent"), documenting the execution of the action box entry.

As Cause (A): Causes (catalog type 5) describe why an issue occurred, not action box outcomes.

As Item (B): Items detail defects or problems, not action documentation.

Thus, "As task" and "As activity" are the correct answers.References: SAP Help Portal - "Action Box in Quality Notifications"; SAP S/4HANA QM User Guide - "Notification Processing".

Standard SAP Fiori apps (e.g., "Record Defects," App ID F2175) support defect categories tied to QM processes:

Supplier Defect (A): Linked to procurement (e.g., inspection type 01), recordable via apps for supplier-related issues.

Production Defect (B): Tied to production lots (e.g., type 03/04), a standard category in Fiori defect recording.

Customer Defect (D): Associated with customer complaints (e.g., notification type Q1), supported in apps.

Generic Defect (C): Not a specific standard category; defects are context-specific.

Warehouse Defect (E): Typically stock-related (type 08), not a distinct Fiori category.

Thus, "Supplier defect," "Production defect," and "Customer defect" are the correct answers.References: SAP Help Portal - "Defect Recording Fiori Apps"; SAP S/4HANA QM User Guide - "Defect Categories".

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.References: SAP Help Portal - "Defects Recording Customizing"; SAP S/4HANA QM Customizing Guide - "Inspection Types".
