The 8D methodology in SAP QM is an internal problem-solving process triggered by quality issues:

Defects Recording for an Inspection Lot (A): Recording defects in an inspection lot (e.g., transaction QE51N) can initiate an 8D process via a linked notification (e.g., Q2), a standard starting point (SPRO > QM > Quality Notifications > 8D Methodology).

Item of a Quality Notification (C): The notification item (e.g., in QM01) directly supports 8D by documenting the problem (D1) and subsequent steps, a primary entry point.

Defect of Defect Category Generic Defect (B): "Generic Defect" isn’t a standard category; defect types are specific (e.g., production, supplier).

Defect of the Defect Category Production Defect (D): While relevant, it’s the act of recording (A) or notification (C) that starts 8D, not the category alone.

Thus, "Defects recording for an inspection lot" and "Item of a quality notification" are the correct answers.References: SAP Help Portal - "8D Methodology in QM"; SAP S/4HANA QM User Guide -"Problem Solving".

For clean core integrations in SAP S/4HANA (minimizing custom code):

SOAP (A): SAP recommends SOAP APIs for robust, secure integrations (e.g., enterprise services), supporting clean core by leveraging standard interfaces.

OData (D): OData is the preferred RESTful API type for S/4HANA, enabling flexible, standard integrations (e.g., via SAP Gateway), a cornerstone of clean core.

RFC (B): Remote Function Calls are legacy and less favored for clean core due to tight coupling.

IDoc (C): IDocs are traditional EDI-focused, not prioritized for modern clean core integrations.

Thus, "SOAP" and "OData" are the correct answers.References: SAP Help Portal - "Integration APIs in S/4HANA"; SAP S/4HANA Developer Guide - "Clean Core APIs".

The Document Management System (DMS) in SAP S/4HANA allows users to link documents (e.g., PDFs, drawings, or instructions) to various objects to provide additional context or instructions. In Quality Management, certain basic data objects support this integration natively:

Inspection Methods (A): Inspection methods define how an inspection is performed (e.g., a test procedure). You can assign DMS documents to inspection methods to provide detailed instructions or reference materials (e.g., a calibration guide). This is configured in the inspection method master data (transaction QK01/QK02) where a document link field is available.

Master Inspection Characteristics (D): Master inspection characteristics (MICs) define what is being inspected (e.g., length, weight). DMS documents can be assigned to MICs to include specifications, diagrams, or tolerances directly in the master data (transaction QS21/QS23). This is a standard feature to enhance inspection planning and execution.

Codes from Code Groups (B): Codes and code groups are used for qualitative valuations (e.g., defect types). They do not have a direct field for DMS document assignment in their master data (transaction QS41/QS51), making this option incorrect.

Sampling Procedures (C): Sampling procedures determine how samples are drawn (e.g., fixed sample size). While critical to inspection planning, they do not support direct DMS document assignment in standard SAP configuration (transaction QDV1/QDV2).

Thus, the correct answers are "Inspection methods" and "Master inspection characteristics," as both support DMS integration without additional customization.References: SAP Help Portal - "Document Management in QM"; SAP S/4HANA QM Configuration Guide - "Basic Data for Quality Management".

For an inspection lot to be created for an outbound delivery item (e.g., inspection type 10):

An Inspection Lot Origin is Assigned to a Delivery Type in Customizing (B): In Customizing (SPRO > QM > Quality Inspection > Inspection Lot Creation > Maintain Inspection Lot Origins and Assign Inspection Types), the delivery type (e.g., LF for outbound) must be linked to an inspection lot origin (e.g., 10). This ensures the system triggers a lot during delivery creation (VL01N).

The Relevant Inspection Type is Active in the Material (C): Inspection type 10 must be activated in the material master’s QM view (transaction MM01/MM02) for the plant, enabling QM for outbound deliveries.

QM is Active in the Relevant Movement Type (A): Movement types (e.g., 601 for goods issue) trigger stock postings, not inspection lots directly in outbound scenarios.

QM is Active in the Quality Info Record: SD (D): The quality info record: SD (transaction QVDM) defines inspection requirements but isn’t a prerequisite for lot creation; it refines the process.

Thus, "B" and "C" are the correct answers.References: SAP Help Portal - "Inspection Lots for Deliveries"; SAP S/4HANA QM Customizing Guide - "Inspection Lot Origins".
