SAP C_S4CPB_2408 SAP Certified Associate - Implementation Consultant - SAP S/4HANA Cloud Public Edition Exam Practice Test

The following would prevent SAP from running a Post-Upgrade Test (PUT) on a customer’s behalf:

An execution variant has not been maintained: An execution variant is a set of test data that is used to execute a test process. It contains the input values and expected results for each test step. If an execution variant is not maintained for a test process, the system cannot run the test automatically and will skip it1.

The test process failed the execution pre-check: The execution pre-check is a validation that is performed before the test execution to ensure that the test process and the execution variant are consistent and complete. If the execution pre-check fails, it means that there are some issues or gaps in the test process or the execution variant that need to be resolved before the test can be run2.

The following would not prevent SAP from running a Post-Upgrade Test (PUT) on a customer’s behalf:

Data marked for deletion is picked for execution: Data marked for deletion is data that is no longer relevant or valid for the test process. It can be marked for deletion by the customer or by SAP. However, this does not affect the test execution, as the system will ignore the data marked for deletion and use the available data for the test process3.

The process steps have been reordered: The process steps are the individual actions that are performed as part of the test process. They can be reordered by the customer or by SAP to reflect the changes in the business process or the user interface. However, this does not affect the test execution, as the system will follow the order of the process steps as defined in the test process4.

The IT Contact is the person who receives the welcome email from SAP and is responsible for setting up the initial access to SAP Cloud ALM. The IT Contact needs to eventually provide all project team members access to SAP Cloud ALM, but it’s most important the partner and customer project managers are given access first, because they are responsible for setting up the implementation project and assigning tasks to the other project team members1. The project manager is a partner role that has the authorization to create and manage projects in SAP Cloud ALM2. References = Setting up the Implementation Project in SAP Cloud ALM, Teams, Roles, and Access Restrictions | SAP Help Portal

In the context of SAP Cloud ALM (Application Lifecycle Management), the IT Contact is typically responsible for the initial setup and assignment of roles within the project. The first role to which the IT Contact often assigns access permission is:

Project manager:The project manager plays a crucial role in overseeing the SAP project's planning, execution, and completion. By assigning access permission to the project manager first, the IT Contact ensures that the project manager has the necessary tools and insights to manage the project effectively within SAP Cloud ALM. This access allows the project manager to monitor project progress, manage resources, and make informed decisions, facilitating successful project execution and alignment with business goals.

Granting the project manager access to SAP Cloud ALM is a strategic decision that empowers them to lead the project efficiently, leveraging the platform's capabilities for project management, monitoring, and collaboration.

For implementing SAP S/4HANA Cloud Public Edition for a customer, the following systems are commonly used:

Sandbox system:This system is used in the very early stages of the project for exploration and trying out different configurations without affecting the development or production environments. It's a safe space for experimentation.

Development system:This system is where the initial setup and customizations are made. Configuration changes, custom development, and extensions are carried out here before being moved to the test system for further testing.

Test system:After configurations and developments are done in the development system, they are transported to the test system. This environment is used for rigorous testing to ensure that everything works as expected and to identify any issues before moving to the production environment.

These systems play crucial roles in the implementation process, allowing for a structured and phased approach to setting up, customizing, testing, and finally deploying SAP S/4HANA Cloud Public Edition.

SAP Business Technology Platform (BTP) provides a foundation for the SAP Cloud ERP where integrations and extensions live. SAP BTP is a cloud-based platform that offers a range of services and capabilities to extend, integrate, and orchestrate SAP and non-SAP applications. SAP BTP enables customers and partners to build extensions that are decoupled from the core SAP S/4HANA Cloud system, ensuring lifecycle stability and avoiding modification of SAP code. SAP BTP also leverages the huge library of free integration packages and extension templates available on the SAP Business Accelerator Hub, which can be consumed and customized according to the customer’s needs. All services are listed in the SAP Discovery Center, where customers can explore, try, and buy SAP BTP services.

SAP ABAP Environment, SAP Discovery Center, and SAP Business Accelerator Hub are not the foundation for the SAP Cloud ERP, but rather components or tools that are related to SAP BTP. SAP ABAP Environment is a service on SAP BTP that allows customers and partners to develop and run ABAP code in the cloud. SAP Discovery Center is a portal that showcases the available services and solutions on SAP BTP and guides customers through the end-to-end journey of discovering, trying, buying, and implementing them. SAP Business Accelerator Hub is a repository of ready-to-use integration packages and extension templates that can be deployed on SAP BTP to accelerate the implementation of SAP S/4HANA Cloud. References = Navigating SAP’s Cloud ERP Portfolio; ERP integration: When, why, and how; Exploring SAP’s Cloud Integration Technologies; Why Cloud ERP Is Right For Your Scaleup

The SAP Activate methodology outlines the phases for implementing SAP S/4HANA Cloud Public Edition. One crucial phase is the 'Explore' phase. During this phase, consultants workclosely with the business to understand its processes and requirements through Fit-to-Standard workshops. These workshops are designed to identify the best fit of the standard SAP S/4HANA processes with the business's needs. It's a collaborative effort to explore the capabilities of SAP S/4HANA Cloud and configure the business processes accordingly. This phase is fundamental in ensuring that the solution is tailored to meet the specific needs of the business, setting the foundation for a successful implementation.

 SAP SuccessFactors is SAP’s recommended Human Capital Management system (HCM) because it provides innovative and cloud-based solutions to address the critical workforce transformation needs of organizations. SAP SuccessFactors supports the next evolution of HCM, which is human experience management (HXM), by putting people at the center of everything and creating AI-powered experiences that drive real competitive advantage. SAP SuccessFactors also integrates with SAP S/4HANA Cloud and other SAP solutions to enable a seamless and connected business process across theenterprise. References = Human Capital Management (HCM) | Cloud HR Software Systems | SAP, What is SAP HR? | Introduction to SAP HCM, SAP Help Portal - SAP Online Help, SAP Help Portal

Sandbox system: This is an optional system that can be used to explore the SAP S/4HANA Cloud Public Edition capabilities and features before the implementation project starts. It is not connected to the starter system or the test system and does not have any data migration or configuration tools. It can be refreshed on demand by the customer1.

Starter system: This is the first system that is provisioned for the customer after the contract is signed. It is used to perform the fit-to-standard workshops, where the customer validates the standard processes and identifies the gaps and requirements. It also serves as the configuration system, where the customer configures the business processes using the SAP Central Business Configuration tool. The starter system is connected to the test system and can transfer the configuration and master data to it2.

Test system: This is the second system that is provisioned for the customer after the starter system is configured. It is used to perform the integration testing, user acceptance testing, data migration, and cutover activities. It also serves as the production system, where the customer runs the live business processes after the go-live. The test system is connected to the starter system and can receive the configuration and master data from it3.

The systems that are not used to implement SAP S/4HANA Cloud Public Edition for a customer are:

Trial system: This is a system that can be used to experience the SAP S/4HANA Cloud Public Edition solution for a limited time. It is not connected to any other system and does not have any data migration or configuration tools. It is not part of the implementation project and does not require a contract4.

Development system: This is a system that can be used to develop custom applications or extensions using the SAP Business Technology Platform. It is not part of the SAP S/4HANA Cloud Public Edition landscape and does not have any data migration or configuration tools. It requires a separate contract and license.

You enable a customer-specific field to be available for UIs and reports relevant for the same business context in the Custom Fields app. The Custom Fields app allows you to create and manage custom fields for business objects in SAP S/4HANA Cloud, publicedition. You can define the properties of the custom fields, such as the label, data type, length, and default value. You can also specify the UIs and reports where you want the custom fields to appear, and the business context that determines the visibility and authorization of the custom fields. The Custom Fields app also enables you to activate the custom fields and generate the corresponding CDS views and OData services for consumption by other applications. References = Using the Key-User In-App Extensibility Tools in SAP S/4HANA Cloud Public Edition, Custom Fields and Logic

 The Manage KPIs and Reports app is a single platform for creating all analytical applications using KPIs, reports, multidimensional reports, and stories. You can create applications that can be launched directly from SAP Fiori launchpad. The app is integrated with SAP Analytics Cloud, which allows you to create and view stories. A story is a presentation-style document that uses charts, tables, and other visualizations to display data insights. A review booklet is a collection of stories that can be used to share information with stakeholders. A multidimensional report is a type of report that allows you to analyze data from multiple dimensions and measures. You can create and view multidimensional reports from the app. An object view is a type of report that displays data for a single object, such as a customer or a product. You cannot create or view object views from the app. A Lumira dashboard is a type of dashboard that uses SAP Lumira to create and display data visualizations. You cannot create or view Lumira dashboards from the app. References = Manage KPIs and Reports, Stories, Review Booklets, [Multidimensional Reports]

 When an SAP Fiori app isn't displaying on the SAP Fiori Launchpad despite the user having the correct business role, several aspects need to be checked to troubleshoot the issue effectively:

Check the restrictions for the role:It's essential to verify if there are any restrictions applied to the role that might prevent the app from being displayed. Restrictions can be based on various factors such as geographic location, department, or specific user attributes.

Check the business catalogues assigned to the role:Business catalogues in SAP Fiori contain groups of apps related to specific business functions. If the necessary business catalogue is not assigned to the role, the app will not appear on the SAPFiori Launchpad. Ensuring the correct assignment of catalogues is crucial for app visibility.

Check the space and page(s) assigned to the role:With the introduction of spaces and pages in the SAP Fiori Launchpad, it's vital to ensure that the relevant space and page that should display the app are correctly assigned to the user's role. Spaces are higher-level groupings, while pages within those spaces contain the actual apps.

SAP S/4HANA Cloud Business Workflows are designed to enhance and automate business processes within the organization. They serve multiple purposes:

To create complex, repeated work processes with iterative cycles:These workflows are designed to handle intricate processes that occur regularly within the business environment, allowing for automation and efficiency in tasks that require repetition and involve multiple steps or conditions.

To create cross-product workflow procedures:This capability allows for the integration of various SAP products and services into a cohesive workflow, ensuring smooth and interconnected operations across different aspects of the business. It enables workflows that span across different SAP applications and solutions, providing a unified approach to managing business processes.

To create business processes with a high number of people involved in a pre-defined sequence:SAP S/4HANA Cloud Business Workflows are capable of handling processes that involve many participants, orchestrating the sequence of tasks to be completed by different individuals or departments. This ensures that each step of the process is executed in the right order by the right person, enhancing collaboration and efficiency.

 Before the first Fit-to-Standard workshop, the consultant should do the following activities:

Deactivate scope items that are NOT part of the Statement of Work/Digital Discovery Assessment. This is to ensure that the Starter system reflects the agreed scope of the project and does not include any unnecessary or out-of-scope items. The consultant can use the Scope Item Management app to deactivate scope items1.

Review the integration requirements collected from the Digital Discovery Assessment. This is to understand the customer’s integration needs and prepare for the integration topics that will be discussed in the Fit-to-Standard workshop. The consultant can use the Integration Solution Advisor tool to review the integration requirements and the recommended integration scenarios2.

The consultant should NOT do the following activities before the first Fit-to-Standard workshop:

Upload customer master data in the Starter system using migration templates. This is not required before the first Fit-to-Standard workshop, as the customer master data is not relevant for the process validation. The consultant should upload the customer master data in the Quality system after the Fit-to-Standard workshop, using the SAP S/4HANA Migration Cockpit3.

Evaluate the L2 Business-Driven Configuration Questionnaire responses. This is not required before the first Fit-to-Standard workshop, as the L2 Business-Driven Configuration Questionnaire is not available at this stage. The consultant should evaluate the L2 Business-Driven Configuration Questionnaire responses after the Fit-to-Standard workshop, using the SAP Activate Methodology.

Regression tests are a type of testing that should be done after a release upgrade has occurred. Regression tests are performed to ensure that the existing functionality of the system is not affected by the changes introduced by the new release. Regression tests help to identify any defects or errors that may have been introduced or uncovered by the release upgrade. Regression tests are part of the quality assurance process and are essential for ensuring the stability and reliability of the system. References = SAP S/4HANA Cloud, Public Edition - All Learning Journeys | SAP Learning -> Implementing SAP S/4HANA Cloud Public Edition -> Unit 5: Quality Assurance -> Lesson: Performing Regression Tests

 In the Realize phase of the SAP Activate Methodology, the project team uses a series of iterations to build and test a complete business and system environment based on the inputs from the previous steps. The activities in this phase include1:

Receiving the systems from SAP

Performing configuration in the Q-System using SAP Central Business Configuration

Setting up manual test cases in SAP Cloud ALM

Performing data loads and data migration

Delivering key-user training

Preparing for cutover and go-live Therefore, the correct answers are C and D, as they are part of the Realize phase activities. References = 1 SAP Activate – Explore Phase: Use Fit-to-Standard to Confirm Business Process Requirements - SAP Community

During the Fit-to-Standard workshops, an implementation consultant supports customer experts by doing the following:

Demonstrate SAP Best Practice business processes in the starter system. The consultant shows the customer experts how the standard processes work in SAP S/4HANA Cloud Public Edition and how they fit their business needs1.

Highlight areas that require configuration or customization decisions. The consultant identifies and documents the gaps between the standard processes and the customer requirements, and proposes solutions that are aligned with the cloud mindset1.

The other options are not the correct ways to support customer experts during the Fit-to-Standard workshops. Determining set up instructions for customer-driven integrations is done in the integration phase, after the Fit-to-Standard workshops are completed2. Conducting end-user training on active scope items is done in the deploy phase, before the go-live of the system3. References = Conducting Fit-to-Standard Workshops - SAP Learning, SAP S/4HANA Cloud Public Edition - Integration, Deploying SAP S/4HANA Cloud Public Edition.

You specify the data retention period in the SAP S/4HANA Migration Cockpit when the project status is “Finished”. The data retention period is the length of time (in days) that the project and all associated data is kept in the system after you have set the status of the project to Finished. To do this, set the option Data Retention Period to On. The data will be deleted from the SAP S/4HANA system when the data retention time expires. If you set the option Data Retention Period to Off, then the project and all associated data will be kept in the system indefinitely. You can also change the retention time for finished projects on the Technical Information tab of the project settings. References = The Migration Project Screen, Migrating Data to the SAP S/4HANA System
