C_S4TM_2023 SAP Certified Associate - SAP S/4HANA Cloud Private Edition, Transportation Management Free Practice Exam Questions (2025 Updated)

In SAP S/4HANA Transportation Management, forwarding orders in LSP scenarios contain item hierarchies with categories like passive vehicle, package, service, and product. According to the SAP documentation, theservice (C)item category is not considered in subsequent execution documents (e.g., freight orders or freight bookings). Service items represent non-physical services (e.g., customs clearance) and are used for costing or documentation in the forwarding order but are not relevant to execution documents, which focus on physical goods and equipment.

The other options are incorrect:

Passive vehicle (A)represents equipment like trailers and is included in execution documents for transport planning.

Package (B)represents packaging units and is considered in execution documents for load planning.

Product (D)represents the goods being transported and is critical in execution documents.

In SAP S/4HANA Transportation Management, thepartner determination profileis used to define how business partners, such as the ordering party, are determined for a freight order based on specific criteria, such as the consignee’s ID. According to the SAP documentation, the partner determination profile is customized for the freight order type to automatically assign partners (e.g., a forwarding house as the ordering party) based on predefined rules or conditions. This ensures that the correct forwarding house is selected based on the consignee’s ID.

The other options are incorrect:

Shipper/consignee determination (A)is not a standard configuration object in SAP TM; partner determination handles these roles.

Organizational unit determination condition (B)is used for determining organizational units, not business partners like the ordering party.

Creation strategy (D)relates to how freight orders are created (e.g., automatic or manual), not partner assignment.

In a side-by-side scenario integrating SAP S/4HANA Transportation Management with sales orders and outbound deliveries, the process is as follows:

Initially, 30 freight units are created from one sales order (1 freight unit per item).

During planning, these are assigned to 3 trucks (10 freight units per truck).

Delivery creation is triggered based on the planning result, and during packaging, up to 3 items can be packed into 1 case. Since each freight unit corresponds to one sales order item, 3 items per case means 3 freight units can be consolidated into 1 freight unit (representing the case).

With 30 freight units, consolidating 3 freight units per case results in:

30 ÷ 3 = 10 freight units (each representing one case).

Thus, the minimum number of freight units in transportation management after packaging is10. According to the SAP documentation, freight units can be consolidated during the packaging process in integration scenarios, reducing the number of freight units while maintaining the planning result (assignment to trucks).

The other options are incorrect:

A (12)andD (6)do not align with the consolidation math (30 ÷ 3 = 10).

C (3)assumes one freight unit per truck, which ignores the packaging consolidation.

To configure a scenario in SAP S/4HANA Transportation Management where a single trailer is hauled by multiple trucks (e.g., in a multi-leg transport), specific customizations are required:

Transportation unit type (A): According to the SAP documentation, the transportation unit type must be configured to allow a trailer to be defined as a separate entity that can be attached to different trucks during various stages of transport. This ensures the trailer is treated as a distinct resource.

Freight order type (D): The freight order type must be customized to support multi-leg scenarios, including settings for stage-specific assignments of trucks to the same trailer, enabling the system to manage the trailer across multiple freight orders.

The other options are incorrect:

Forwarding order type (B)is used for logistics service provider scenarios and does not directly manage trailer-truck assignments.

Freight booking type (C)is relevant for ocean or air transport, not for road-based multi-truck scenarios.

In SAP S/4HANA Transportation Management, the load planning function optimizes the assignment of freight units to vehicles to maximize capacity utilization. According to the SAP documentation, load planning can be initiated from:

Freight order (A): Load planning can be started directly from a freight order, allowing planners to optimize the load for the specific transport assigned to a truck.

Transportation cockpit (D): The transportation cockpit provides a centralized interface for planning activities, including initiating load planning for one or more trucks.

The other options are incorrect:

Vehicle resource (B)represents the truck itself but is not a direct entry point for starting load planning.

Freight booking (C)is used for ocean or air transport and does not typically support load planning for trucks.

In an SAP S/4HANA Cloud brownfield project, remodeling business processes to align with clean core principles involves standardizing and optimizing processes. According to the SAP documentation, the following SAP Signavio solutions are used for process remodeling:

SAP Signavio Process Governance (A): This solution supports process governance by defining and enforcing standardized process models, ensuring compliance with clean core principles.

SAP Signavio Process Manager (C): This tool is used to model and design business processes, allowing users to remodel existing processes to align with SAP’s standard functionality.

The other options are incorrect:

SAP Signavio Process Intelligence (B)focuses on process analysis and mining, not direct remodeling.

SAP Signavio Process Insights (D)provides insights into process performance but is not used for remodeling processes.

In SAP S/4HANA Transportation Management, to ensure that rates in a rate table are interpreted as percentages (e.g., for surcharges like fuel), the percentage indicator must be set in specific configuration objects. According to the SAP documentation:

Calculation sheet (A): The percentage indicator can be set in the calculation sheet to specify that certain charge types (e.g., fuel surcharge) are calculated as percentages of the base rate.

Rate table (D): The percentage indicator is defined in the rate table to indicate that the rates stored within it are percentages, ensuring correct calculation during charge determination.

The other options are incorrect:

Scale (B)defines the ranges for rates (e.g., weight or distance) but does not include a percentage indicator.

Calculation profile (C)defines general calculation settings but does not directly control the percentage interpretation of rates.

In SAP S/4HANA Transportation Management, discrepancies in freight orders (e.g., differences in weight, quantity, or other attributes) can trigger blocks when they exceed configured tolerances. These blocks prevent certain actions until the discrepancy is resolved. According to the SAP documentation, when a discrepancy outside the tolerance is reported for a freight order:

An execution block for the freight order (A)is set to prevent further execution steps, such as loading or departure, until the discrepancy is resolved.

An execution block for the freight unit (B)is applied because the freight unit is directly tied to the goods being transported, and a discrepancy affects its execution status.

An invoicing block for the freight order (E)is set to ensure that no invoicing occurs until the discrepancy is addressed, as the charges may be impacted.

The optionsC (invoicing block for the freight unit)andD (planning block for the freight order)are not typically applied:

Invoicing blocks are generally applied at the freight order level, not the freight unit level, as invoicing is managed through freight orders or freight bookings.

A planning block for the freight order is not relevant, as discrepancies typically affect execution or invoicing rather than planning, which occurs earlier in the process.

In SAP S/4HANA Transportation Management, fuel surcharges that vary based on fuel price changes are managed using dynamic calculation methods. According to the SAP documentation:

Use an index table for the fuel surcharge charge item (A): An index table is used to store fuel price indices (e.g., pegged to 3 USD per gallon) and calculate the surcharge as a percentage (5%) of the base freight, adjusted based on the current fuel price.

Use a determination rule for the index rate table (D): A determination rule is required to select the appropriate index table based on conditions, such as the calculation date or agreement validity, ensuring the correct fuel price is applied.

The other options are incorrect:

Use the rating amount or a standard rate table for the fuel surcharge (B)is not suitable, as standard rate tables do not dynamically adjust based on fuel price indices.

Use a rate table for the fuel surcharge with calculation date as a scale (C)is not typically used, as index tables are preferred for dynamic fuel surcharge calculations.

In SAP S/4HANA Transportation Management, a freight agreement RFQ master is used to solicit bids from carriers for multiple RFQ items. According to the SAP documentation, when Carrier A is not incumbent for three RFQ items and is removed from those, it remains eligible for the remaining four items. When individual freight agreement RFQs are generated, one RFQ is created per carrier for the items they are assigned to. Since Carrier A is assigned to four RFQ items,four individual freight agreement RFQsare created for Carrier A, one for each item.

The other options are incorrect:

A (1)is incorrect because a single RFQ would not cover multiple items for a carrier.

C (3)is incorrect because it reflects the items Carrier A was removed from, not the ones assigned.

D (7)is incorrect because Carrier A is not assigned to all seven items.

In SAP S/4HANA Transportation Management, forward and backward scheduling in the transportation cockpit is supported for thefreight order (A). According to the SAP documentation, freight orders, which represent the execution of transportation, allow planners to perform forward scheduling (calculating end dates based on start dates) and backward scheduling (calculating start dates based on required delivery dates) to optimize transport timelines. This functionality is available in the transportation cockpit to ensure alignment with transportation requirements and constraints.

The other options are incorrect:

Forwarding order (B)is used for logistics service provider scenarios and does not typically support forward and backward scheduling in the transportation cockpit.

Sales order (C)originates in sales and distribution and is not directly scheduled in the transportation cockpit.

Freight unit (D)represents goods for planning but does not support scheduling at this level.

In SAP S/4HANA Transportation Management, carrier selection for a freight order is based on specific decision criteria defined in the system. According to the SAP documentation:

Priority from transportation lane (B): Transportation lanes define carrier priorities (e.g., ranking carriers based on preference or agreements), which are used as a criterion during carrier selection.

Priority from carrier selection settings (C): Carrier selection settings in the planning profile or SAP Fiori app allow users to define priorities for carriers, influencing the selection process.

The other options are incorrect:

Costs from charge management (A): While costs are considered, they are derived from freight agreements or rate tables, not directly from charge management during carrier selection.

Costs from shipment cost document (D): Shipment cost documents are used in SAP ERP (LE-TRA), not in SAP S/4HANA TM, where freight settlement documents are used instead.

In SAP S/4HANA Transportation Management, the Post-Processing Framework (PPF) is used to automate actions such as printing documents, sending emails, and generating XML messages. According to the SAP documentation, a single PPF action profile can be assigned to a freight order type (e.g., FOT1) and can include multiple actions, such as printing a road waybill, printing a loading list, printing labels, sending emails, and sending XML messages. Each action is defined within the action profile, and the profile is then linked to the freight order type in Customizing. Since all the required actions (printing documents and sending messages) can be configured within one action profile, the minimum number of PPF action profiles needed is1.

The other options are incorrect:

A (4), C (2), and D (3)suggest multiple action profiles, which are unnecessary since a single profile can handle all actions.

In SAP S/4HANA Transportation Management, business shares are used to distribute transportation volumes across multiple carriers based on predefined percentages. According to the SAP documentation, the following SAP Fiori apps allow users to define whether business shares are considered in the carrier selection process:

Create Business Share (B)enables users to define business share agreements, including whether they are active for carrier selection.

Edit Carrier Selection Settings (C)allows users to configure settings that determine how business shares influence carrier selection, such as enabling or disabling their consideration.

The other options are incorrect:

Edit Freight Agreement (A)is used for managing freight agreement details, such as rates, but does not directly control business share settings for carrier selection.

Define Transportation Lane (D)is used for configuring transportation lanes, including costs and priorities, but not for defining business shares.

Carrier selection in SAP S/4HANA Transportation Management can be initiated from specific interfaces or tools designed for planning and tendering. According to the SAP documentation:

From report /SCMTMS/PLN_OPT (A)allows users to trigger carrier selection as part of the transportation planning process, typically used for automated or manual planning.

From SAP Business Network for Logistics (C)enables carrier selection through tendering processes, where carriers are invited to bid on freight orders.

The other options are incorrect:

Freight booking user interface (B)is used for managing bookings (e.g., ocean or air transport) but is not typically used to initiate carrier selection, which is more aligned with freight orders.

Container unit user interface (D)is used for managing container-related data but does not support carrier selection.

In SAP S/4HANA Transportation Management, freight settlement documents (FSDs) are created based on freight orders to settle charges with carriers. According to the SAP documentation, there isno limitto the number of FSDs that can be created from a freight order during its lifecycle, as additional FSDs can be generated for changes, such as additional charges, corrections, or disputes, provided the charge elements have non-zero values. For a freight order with two deliveries, multiple FSDs can be created to account for initial settlements, amendments, or additional charges (e.g., detention or assessorial charges) throughout the lifecycle.

The other options are incorrect:

A (3), B (1), and C (2)assume a fixed number of FSDs, which is not accurate since the system allows multiple FSDs based on changes or additional requirements.

In SAP S/4HANA Transportation Management, conditions are used to determine objects or settings based on specific rules. According to the SAP documentation, the origins of conditions include:

Direct business object access (A): Conditions can directly access business objects (e.g., freight orders or freight units) to retrieve data for rule evaluation, such as determining a freight agreement based on attributes like source location.

BRFplus decision table (C): BRFplus (Business Rule Framework plus) decision tables are used as a condition origin to define complex rules in a tabular format, enabling dynamic determination of objects like rate tables or carriers.

The other options are incorrect:

Determination class (B)is not a valid origin for conditions; it may be used in custom coding but not in standard condition configuration.

Data crawler (D)is used for extracting data for reporting or analytics, not as a condition origin for rule determination.

In SAP S/4HANA Transportation Management, schedule departures define planned departure times for transportation, such as for regular routes. According to the SAP documentation, schedule departures can be created by:

Upload via report (A): Users can upload schedule departures using a report or data import tool, allowing mass creation or updates.

Generate from a rule (B): Schedule departures can be generated automatically based on predefined rules, such as recurring schedules for specific routes.

The other options are incorrect:

Copy from a freight booking (C)is not a standard method for creating schedule departures, as freight bookings are execution documents for ocean or air transport.

Maintain in default route (D)relates to route configuration but does not directly involve creating schedule departures.

In SAP S/4HANA Transportation Management, the freight unit type defines key settings that govern the behavior of freight units during planning and execution. According to the SAP documentation, the freight unit type controls:

Direct shipment options (A): Specifies whether the freight unit can be converted directly to a freight order for direct shipment scenarios.

Freight unit building rule (C): Determines how freight units are created and consolidated (e.g., based on sales order items or deliveries).

Organizational unit determination (E): Defines which organizational units (e.g., planning or execution units) are responsible for the freight unit.

The other options are incorrect:

Tendering settings (B)are defined in tendering profiles, not freight unit types.

Change controller settings (D)are configured at the document level (e.g., freight order) or in change controller strategies, not in freight unit types.
