Which alternative item strategies are available in bills of material (BOMs) in SAP S/4HANA. Note: there are 2 correct answers to this question.
Correct Answer: B,D
Question 22
Where do you maintain the work center that represents the production line for repetitive manufacturing? Note: There are 2 correct answers to this question
Correct Answer: B,D
The work center that represents the production line for repetitive manufacturing is maintained in two places: the repetitive manufacturing profile and the production version. The repetitive manufacturing profile is a control parameter that defines the basic settingsfor repetitive manufacturing, such as the planning type, the backflushing method, the confirmation type, and the production line determination. The production version is a combination of a bill of material (BOM) and a routing or a rate routing that specifies how a material is produced. The production version also contains the work center that represents the production line for the material. The production version is assigned to the material master and is used in the planning and execution of repetitive manufacturing.

Question 23
What is the purpose of a reporting point confirmation in repetitive manufacturing? Note: There are 2 Correct answers to this question?
Correct Answer: A,B
A reporting point confirmation is a function that allows you to backflush the material components and activities that have been consumed and performed at a specific operation in a repetitive manufacturing process. It also reduces the dependent requirements for the planned orders. You can use reporting point confirmation for the following purposes: To determine the work in progress (WIP) along the production line, by posting the quantity that is on the production line at each reporting point. This helps you to calculate the volume and value of unfinished products. To provide timely updates of inventory management for the staged components, by recording the withdrawal of components at a time that is close to the time of the operation in which they are used. This helps you to avoid discrepancies between the actual and planned consumption of materials. References: Reporting Point Confirmation, Repetitive Manufacturing Confirmation
Question 24
Which time elements does MRP consider in backward scheduling to determine the order dates for components from dependent requirements? Note: There are 2 correct answers to this question
Correct Answer: B,D
Backward scheduling is a method of determining the order dates for components from dependent requirements by starting from the requirement date of the finished product and working backwards through the production structure. Backward scheduling considers the following time elements: Operation duration: This is the time required to perform an operation on a resource, such as a work center or a machine. Operation duration is influenced by various factors, such as the quantity, the lot size, the setup time, the processing time, the teardown time, and the operation scrap. Operation duration is subtracted from the requirement date of the finished product to determine the start date of the operation. In-house production time: This is the time required to produce a material in-house, from the start of the first operation to the end of the last operation. In-house production time is influenced by various factors, such as the routing, the work center, the production version,and the scheduling margin key. In-house production time is subtracted from the start date of the first operation to determine the order start date of the material. Backward scheduling does not consider the following time elements: Total replenishment lead time: This is the time required to procure a material externally, from the creation of the purchase requisition to the receipt of the goods. Total replenishment lead time is influenced by various factors, such as the planned delivery time, the goods receipt processing time, the release time, and the scheduling margin key. Total replenishment lead time is used in forward scheduling, not backward scheduling, to determine the order dates for externally procured materials. Planned delivery time: This is the time required to deliver a material from the vendor to the receiving plant. Planned delivery time is maintained in the purchasing info record or the material master record. Planned delivery time is a component of the total replenishment lead time, which is used in forward scheduling, not backward scheduling, to determine the order dates for externally procured materials.
