Which business processes are affected by settings in the order type dependent parameters? Note: There are 2 correct answers to this question.
Correct Answer: A,B
Question 47
Where do you maintain data to determine the duration of an operation for production? Note: There are 2 correct answers to this question.
Correct Answer: A,B
The duration of an operation for production is determined by the combination of data maintained in the routing and the work center. The routing defines the sequence of operations, the work centers, and the standard values for each operation, such as setup time, processing time, and teardown time. The work center defines the capacity, the formulas, and the scheduling parameters for each operation, such as base quantity, operation rate, and queue time. The system calculates the duration of an operation by multiplying the standard values from the routing by the factors from the work center formulas and adding the scheduling parameters from the work center. For example, if the routing specifies a processing time of 10 minutes per unit and the work center formula is processing time = (processing time / base quantity) * operation quantity, and the base quantity is 100 units, then the duration of the operation for 50 units is (10 / 100) * 50 = 5 minutes. The bill of material (BOM) (C) and the material master (D) are not data objects that determine the duration of an operation for production. The BOM defines the components and the quantities that are required for producing a material. The material master defines the general and specific attributes of a material, such as the material type, the unit of measure, the MRP data, and the production data. These data objects are relevant for planning the material requirements and the production costs, but not the operation duration.

Question 48
In the Capacity Scheduling Table, which settings can you select for the planning strategy? Note: There are 3 correct answers to this question.
Correct Answer: A,C,E
The planning strategy settings in the Capacity Scheduling Table determine how the system schedules the operations or orders on the resources. You can select the following settings: Finiteness level: This setting defines how strictly the system considers the capacity availability of the resources when scheduling. You can choose between infinite, finite, and optimized scheduling. Infinite scheduling ignores the capacity availability and schedules the operations or orders as early as possible. Finite scheduling respects the capacity availability and schedules the operations or orders only in the free slots of the resources. Optimized scheduling tries to find the best compromise between infinite and finite scheduling by minimizing the delays and overloads12 Scheduling control: This setting defines how the system handles the scheduling conflicts that may arise when scheduling the operations or orders. You can choose between rescheduling, shifting, and splitting. Rescheduling means that the system moves the conflicting operations or orders to a later date. Shifting means that the system moves the conflicting operations or orders to another resource within the same resource network. Splitting means that the system splits the conflicting operations or orders into smaller parts and schedules them on different resources or dates13 Direction: This setting defines the direction of the scheduling. You can choose between forward and backward scheduling. Forward scheduling means that the system schedules the operations or orders from the start date to the end date. Backward scheduling means that the system schedules the operations or orders from the end date to the start date14 Reference: Planning Strategy Settings - SAP Help Portal Finiteness Level - SAP Help Portal Scheduling Control - SAP Help Portal Direction - SAP Help Portal
Question 49
What could be the reason for multiple commitments where several operations have the same scheduled dates on a work center after dispatching? Note: There are 2 correct answers to this question.
Correct Answer: A,C
Question 50
In documentation for MRP in Advanced Planning, you read that new orders are created through infinite planning. What does this mean for the capacity requirements of a new order?
Correct Answer: C
Infinite planning is a method of material requirements planning (MRP) that creates new orders without checking the capacity availability of the work centers. This means that the capacity requirements of a new order are created regardless of the existing capacity load or constraints of the work center. Infinite planning assumes that the required capacity can be increased or adjusted as needed. Infinite planning is suitable for situations where the capacity supply is flexible and the demand is urgent or unpredictable. However, infinite planning can also result in capacity overloads or unrealistic schedules that need to be resolved later by capacity leveling or rescheduling.
