C_TS414_2023 SAP Certified Associate - SAP S/4HANA Cloud Private Edition, Quality Management Free Practice Exam Questions (2025 Updated)

Digital signatures in SAP S/4HANA QM (configured via SPRO > Cross-Application Components > Digital Signature) ensure auditability and compliance in critical processes:

Recording the Usage Decision for an Inspection Lot (B): The usage decision (transaction QA11) can require a digital signature to confirm stock disposition, a common regulatory requirement (e.g., in pharmaceuticals).

Valuation of an Inspection Result (C): Valuating results (e.g., accept/reject in QE51N) can mandate a signature, especially for critical characteristics, as set in the MIC or inspection type settings.

Manual Confirmation of a Physical Sample Drawing (D): Confirming sample drawing (transaction QPR2) can require a signature to validate the physical process, configurable in sample management.

Assignment of Inspection Specification (A): Assigning specs (e.g., in QP01) is a planning step, not typically requiring a signature.

Defect Recording in Inspection Lot (E): Defect entry (e.g., QF01) may trigger notifications but doesn’t standardly require a signature unless custom-configured.

Thus, "B, C, D" are the correct answers.References: SAP Help Portal - "Digital Signatures in QM"; SAP S/4HANA QM Customizing Guide - "Signature Strategy".

Activity recording (e.g., time or cost) for inspection lots of origin 01 (Goods Receipt) requires:

Inspection Operations with Work Centers (B): Operations in the inspection plan (transaction QP01) must have work centers assigned, as these link to activity types (e.g., labor) for recording effort or costs during inspection (SPRO > QM > Quality Planning > Inspection Planning).

Inspection Lot with a QM Order (D): A QM order (e.g., created via Customizing or lot assignment) is required to capture activity data (e.g., via transaction QE51N or CO11N), linking costs to the inspection lot (SPRO > QM > Quality Inspection > Inspection Lot Creation > Define Inspection Types).

Inspection Specifications with Master Inspection Characteristics (A): MICs define what’s inspected but aren’t prerequisites for activity recording.

Inspection Specifications with Inspection Methods (C): Methods guide execution, not activity recording setup.

Thus, "Inspection operations with work centers" and "Inspection lot with a QM order" are the correct answers.References: SAP Help Portal - "Activity Recording in QM"; SAP S/4HANA QM User Guide - "Cost Management".

Sample-drawing items in the sample-drawing procedure (transaction QPV2) define sample categories:

Reserve Sample (A): A standard category for samples retained for future testing (e.g., stability), maintained in the procedure.

Pooled Sample (B): Represents combined samples for collective testing, a defined category in sample management.

Primary Sample (D): The initial sample taken for immediate inspection, a core category in the procedure.

Initial Sample (C): Not a distinct category; overlaps with "Primary sample."

Sample for Storage Condition (E): Not a standard category; storage conditions are attributes, not sample types.

Thus, "Reserve sample," "Pooled sample," and "Primary sample" are the correct answers.References: SAP Help Portal - "Sample Management in QM"; SAP S/4HANA QM User Guide - "Sample-Drawing Procedure".
