Which of the following dynamic modification criteria can be used in the inspection plan? Note: There
are 3 correct answers to this question.
A, D, E
Explanation:
Dynamic modification in SAP S/4HANA QM allows the system to adjust inspection scopes (e.g., skip
lots, reduced inspection) based on quality performance. These criteria are defined in the inspection
plan (transaction QP01) or Quality Level settings and determine when modification occurs:
Material and Supplier (A): This is a standard dynamic modification criterion (e.g., for inspection type
01 - Goods Receipt). It tracks quality history for a material-supplier combination, commonly used in
procurement scenarios (SPRO > Quality Management > Quality Inspection > Dynamic Modification).
Material and Customer (D): Used in sales or production scenarios (e.g., inspection type 10 - Delivery),
this criterion adjusts inspections based on material-customer quality history, ensuring customer-
specific requirements are met.
Material (E): A standalone material criterion is valid across multiple inspection types (e.g., 03 -
Production), allowing modification based solely on the material’s quality history, regardless of
supplier or customer.
Material and Work Center (B): Work centers are linked to operations, not directly to dynamic
modification criteria in standard SAP QM. This is not a predefined option.
Material and Equipment (C): Equipment is relevant for plant maintenance (PM), not a standard QM
dynamic modification criterion for inspection plans.
Thus, "Material and supplier," "Material and customer," and "Material" are the correct answers,
reflecting standard SAP functionality.

Which objects can be used as a reference when dependent characteristics specifications are created?
Note: There are 3 correct answers to this question.
C, D, E
Explanation:
Dependent characteristic specifications in SAP QM allow characteristics in an inspection plan to
inherit values (e.g., tolerances) from a reference object. This is configured in the inspection plan
(transaction QP01) under characteristic details:
Material and Customer (C): Used in sales-related inspections (e.g., inspection type 10), this reference
allows characteristics to be tailored to customer-specific material requirements, pulling data from
the material master or customer info records.
Material and Supplier (D): Common in procurement (e.g., inspection type 01), this reference links to
quality info records or material master data, enabling supplier-specific specs for a material.
Material (E): The material alone can serve as a reference, pulling general specifications from the
material master (e.g., QM view) or material specifications (transaction QS61), applicable across
scenarios.
Material and Control Key (A): Control keys define operation behavior, not characteristic
specifications, so this is not a valid reference.
Material and Work Center (B): Work centers are operation-specific and don’t store characteristic
specs for reference in standard SAP.
Thus, "Material and customer," "Material and supplier," and "Material" are the correct answers.

The sample size is determined using the sampling procedure. What assignments are mandatory in
the sampling procedure? Note: There are 2 correct answers to this question.
C, D
Explanation:
A sampling procedure in SAP S/4HANA QM (transaction QDV1) defines how samples are calculated
and valuated for an inspection lot. Mandatory assignments ensure the system can determine and
process the sample:
Sampling Type (C): This is a required field in the sampling procedure header. It specifies how the
sample size is determined (e.g., fixed sample, percentage, sampling scheme). Without it, the system
cannot calculate the sample size (e.g., "100% inspection" or "Attribute sampling").
Valuation Mode (D): Also mandatory, this defines how inspection results are evaluated (e.g., "Manual
valuation," "Attribute inspection nonconforming units"). It’s assigned in the sampling procedure and
ensures consistent acceptance/rejection rules.
Inspection Severity (A): This is optional and applies only to sampling schemes (e.g., normal,
tightened), not all sampling types.
Unit of Measure (B): The unit of measure is inherited from the material or characteristic, not a
mandatory assignment in the sampling procedure itself.
Thus, "Sampling type" and "Valuation mode" are the correct answers, as they are essential
components of every sampling procedure.

Which QM basic data can be used in the material specification? Note: There are 3 correct answers to
this question.
A, C, E
Explanation:
Material specifications in SAP QM (transaction QS61) define inspection requirements directly in the
material master, independent of task lists. They integrate specific QM basic data:
Master Inspection Characteristics (A): MICs are the core of material specifications, defining what is
inspected (e.g., length, pH). They are assigned to the material spec to set tolerances or qualitative
codes.
Sampling Procedures (C): These determine the sample size for the material spec’s characteristics
(e.g., fixed sample of 5). They are assigned to MICs within the material specification.
Inspection Methods (E): Inspection methods (e.g., "Visual check") can be linked to MICs in the
material spec to specify how the inspection is performed.
Dynamic Modification Rule (B): This governs inspection scope changes (e.g., skip lots) and is assigned
to inspection types or plans, not material specs directly.
Selected Set (D): Selected sets are used for qualitative valuations (e.g., UD codes) but are not directly
assigned to material specs; they link via MICs instead.
Thus, "Master inspection characteristics," "Sampling procedures," and "Inspection methods" are the
correct answers.
Reference: SAP Help Portal - "Material Specifications in QM"; SAP S/4HANA QM User Guide - "Basic
Data".
Which dynamic modification levels can be set in the inspection plan? Note: There are 3 correct
answers to this question.
A, C, D
Explanation:
Dynamic modification levels in SAP QM determine the granularity at which inspection scope changes
(e.g., reduced to full inspection) are applied in an inspection plan (transaction QP01):
Characteristic Level (A): Modification can occur at the individual characteristic level within an
operation, allowing specific MICs to skip or intensify based on their quality history.
Inspection Lot Level (C): The entire inspection lot can be modified (e.g., skipped), based on the
quality level for the material or combination (e.g., material/supplier).
Operation Level (D): Modification can apply to an operation, adjusting all characteristics within it
based on performance (e.g., operation-specific skip).
Inspection Type Level (B): Inspection types define the process (e.g., 01 for GR), but dynamic
modification is not set at this level; it’s tied to plans or lots.
Work Center (E): Work centers are execution locations, not a level for dynamic modification in QM.
Thus, "Characteristic level," "Inspection lot level," and "Operation level" are the correct answers.

Customizing Guide - "Dynamic Modification".
Which of the following assignments of document types to master data objects is available in SAP
standard? Note: There are 2 correct answers to this question.
A, C
Explanation:
In SAP S/4HANA QM, the Document Management System (DMS) supports linking document types to
master data objects for reference:
Quality Assurance Agreements to Quality Info Records: Procurement (A): In the quality info record
(transaction QI01), you can assign a DMS document type (e.g., QAA) for quality assurance
agreements with suppliers. This is standard for procurement QM (SPRO > QM > Environment >
Document Management).
Technical Delivery Terms to Materials (C): Technical delivery terms (e.g., shipping instructions) can be
linked to the material master via DMS (transaction MM01/MM02), typically in the Basic Data or QM
view, as a standard feature.
Quality Assurance Agreements to Materials (B): QA agreements are supplier-specific and linked to
quality info records, not directly to materials in standard SAP.
Technical Delivery Terms to Quality Info Records: Procurement (D): Delivery terms are material-
specific, not typically assigned to quality info records in standard configuration.
Thus, "A" and "C" are the correct answers, reflecting SAP standard assignments.

"Document Types".
Which characteristic categories are allowed in the certificate profile? Note: There are 2 correct
answers to this question.
A, B
Explanation:
Certificate profiles in SAP QM (transaction QC01) define the data included in outgoing quality
certificates. The characteristic categories allowed are:
Master Inspection Characteristic (A): MICs (transaction QS21) are used in inspection plans and
material specs, and their results can be included in certificate profiles to report quality data (e.g.,
measured values).
Class Characteristic (B): Class characteristics (from the Classification System, transaction CT04) are
linked to batches or materials and can be included in certificate profiles to display classification data
(e.g., batch properties).
Inspection Characteristic (C): This term refers to characteristics in an inspection lot/plan but is not a
distinct category; it’s covered by MICs, so it’s not separately selectable.
Process Instruction Characteristic (D): Used in Process Industries (PI) for production, not applicable to
QM certificate profiles in standard SAP.
Thus, "Master inspection characteristic" and "Class characteristic" are the correct answers.
Reference: SAP Help Portal - "Quality Certificates - Certificate Profiles"; SAP S/4HANA QM User Guide
- "Outgoing Certificates".
To what can you assign the inspection method in the inspection planning? Note: There are 2 correct
answers to this question.
B, D
Explanation:
Inspection methods in SAP S/4HANA QM (transaction QK01) define how an inspection is performed
and can be assigned to specific objects in inspection planning:
Master Inspection Characteristic (B): In the MIC master data (transaction QS21/QS23), you can assign
an inspection method to specify the procedure (e.g., "Visual inspection"). This is a standard
assignment to ensure consistency across plans.
Inspection Characteristic in an Operation of an Inspection Plan (D): Within an inspection plan
(transaction QP01), you can assign an inspection method directly to a characteristic in an operation.
This overrides or supplements the MIC’s method if needed, providing flexibility during planning.
Selected Set (A): Selected sets (transaction QS51) are for qualitative codes, not for assigning
inspection methods.
Work Center (C): Work centers define where an inspection occurs but do not directly accept
inspection method assignments in standard SAP QM.
Thus, "Master inspection characteristic" and "Inspection characteristic in an operation of an
inspection plan" are the correct answers.

"Inspection Planning".
You want to transfer an inspection result to a batch characteristic value. What is a prerequisite for
inspection planning?
B
Explanation:
Transferring inspection results to a batch characteristic in SAP QM (e.g., during results recording)
requires linking QM and batch management (LO-BM). The prerequisite in inspection planning is:
Assignment of a Class Characteristic to a Master Inspection Characteristic (B): To transfer results, the
MIC (transaction QS21) must be linked to a class characteristic (transaction CT04) used in the batch
class (transaction CL01). This is configured in the MIC by assigning the class characteristic, enabling
the system to update batch values (e.g., potency) from inspection results. This is a standard
prerequisite (SPRO > Quality Management > Inspection Planning > Basic Data > MIC).
Assignment of a Class Characteristic to the Inspection Specification (A): Inspection specifications
(e.g., material specs) don’t directly link to class characteristics for this purpose; the link is via MICs.
Assignment of an Inspection Characteristic to the Inspection Specification (C): This refers to planning
setup but doesn’t address batch transfer specifically.
Assignment of an Inspection Method to the Inspection Characteristic (D): Methods guide execution,
not batch value transfer.
Thus, "Assignment of a class characteristic to a master inspection characteristic" is the correct
answer.

Guide - "Results Recording".
Which task list type is used for inspection lots with inspection lot origin 03 Production? Note: There
are 2 correct answers to this question.
B, D
Explanation:
Inspection lots with origin 03 (Production) in SAP QM are triggered during production processes
(e.g., order release or goods receipt). The task list types used are:
Routing (B): In production (PP), routings (transaction CA01) define operations and can include QM-
relevant operations with inspection characteristics. For inspection lot origin 03, the system uses
routings when QM is integrated with PP, especially for in-process inspections.
Inspection Plan (D): The inspection plan (transaction QP01) is the primary QM task list for origin 03,
defining detailed inspection steps (e.g., characteristics, sampling) for production-related lots, such as
goods receipt from production.
Master Recipe (A): Used in Process Industries (PP-PI) for recipes (transaction C201), not standard for
discrete manufacturing origin 03 lots.
Equipment Task List (C): Relevant for Plant Maintenance (PM), not production QM lots.
Thus, "Routing" and "Inspection plan" are the correct answers for origin 03.
