Domain 1: Discovering SAP Activate
Question 1
Before Fit-to-Standard workshops for SAP S/4HANA Cloud Public Edition, a consultant proposes rebuilding the starter system's sample organizational units to match the customer's plant names and codes. The planned demonstrations use the SAP Best Practices test scripts, and the customer organization has not yet been validated. Which approach is most appropriate?
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: A - Preserve the sample units for demonstrations and validate the customer's structure for the development system.
Domain 2: Outlining SAP Activate Methodology Foundation
Question 2
During Explore, two purchasing teams initially request their old approval-screen layouts. After seeing the standard process, both confirm that it meets their control and operating needs; the layouts offer no additional business value. The project charter authorizes the process owner to accept standard designs and reserves exceptions for the Solution Standardization Board. What should happen next?
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: C - Have the process owner confirm and record acceptance of the standard design, then continue.
Question 3
A draft project schedule places the first detailed cutover-planning session in Deploy, immediately before a fixed production switchover. Configuration and integration testing are progressing in Realize, but shutdown order, data-load dependencies, and task owners have not been worked out. Which correction belongs in the schedule?
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: D - Plan the cutover during Realize and execute the production switchover during Deploy.
Domain 3: Paving the Move to the Cloud through Clean Core
Question 4
A dealer service application will combine ERP delivery data with data from an external service. Fit-to-Standard has established the gap, and its business case is approved. The application must be released without deploying transports into the ERP system and does not need to run inside an ERP transaction. A released remote API supplies all required ERP data. Which architecture best supports clean-core development under these conditions?
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: A - Use a side-by-side SAP BTP application with the released remote API.
Domain 4: Using SAP Integrated Toolchain to Support Cloud ERP Transformations
Question 5
A legacy pricing application is being considered for retirement after an ERP conversion. The decision needs a maintained application inventory, ownership and lifecycle information, and a view of dependencies on systems that will remain in use. Where should the transformation manager lead this architecture assessment?
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: B - SAP LeanIX
Domain 5: Outlining Workstreams
Question 6
At a chemical manufacturer, every batch requires Quality release before shipment. During hypercare, an ERP-to-warehouse interface change makes quality-blocked batches appear ready for dispatch. None has left the site. The affected product stream is known, dispatch starts in 20 minutes, and the incident procedure authorizes the operations lead to hold its outbound deliveries. Which immediate response should the project manager coordinate?
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: A - Have Operations hold affected deliveries until Quality reconciles batch-release status and the faulty update path is controlled.
Domain 6: Describing Transition Paths
Question 7
The target architecture calls for consolidating three ECC systems into one SAP S/4HANA Cloud Private Edition system. Most processes will follow a redesigned common model. Selected legacy configuration, an approved custom traceability function, and a defined slice of closed transaction history from each source must remain in the operational target. Transfer feasibility is confirmed. Recommend the transition design that best fits this balance of redesign and selective retention.
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: D - Build a new target and selectively transfer the approved configuration, development, and historical records using mix and match.
Domain 9: Starting Agile
Question 8
An unexpected absence leaves configuration work unassigned during a Sprint. Another Developer can complete the configuration and testing. Under the team's Scrum framework, the Developers propose a new task sequence without changing the selected backlog items, Sprint Goal, Definition of Done, budget, or release date. The charter delegates task planning within these limits to the team. Who should control this adjustment?
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: C - The Developers, who should update their plan and keep the adjustment visible.
Domain 10: Creating Backlog
Question 9
A backlog item covering all sales-order variants is too large for one Sprint. The team can build and test the complete domestic stock-order flow within one Sprint; export and make-to-order variants are optional for the first release. Which first story best supports incremental delivery?
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: D - Create, deliver, and bill a domestic stock order, including its required tests.
Domain 11: Illustrating Iterative Build
Question 10
The release burnup shows these cumulative figures: after Sprint 1, 30 points completed and 120 in scope; after Sprint 2, 60 completed and 150 in scope; after Sprint 3, 90 completed and 180 in scope. Neither the story-point scale nor estimates for existing items have changed. A sponsor says the unchanged 90-point remainder proves that delivery has stalled. How should the sponsor read these figures?
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: B - Scope has grown as fast as delivery; discuss further additions with the Product Owner.
