When building an integration scenario using theSAP Fiori Communication Management appsinSAP S/4HANA Cloud Public Edition, two key components must be created:

Communication arrangement (Option A):A communication arrangement links the communication system to a specific communication scenario, enabling the exchange of data between systems. It defines how the integration will function and which users or systems are authorized. TheSAP Communication Management Guideconfirms this requirement.

Communication system (Option D):A communication system represents the external system or application that will interact with SAP S/4HANA Cloud. It contains technical details such as host names, ports, and authentication methods. The sameSAP Communication Management Guidedocuments this step.

B. Communication interface:Communication interfaces are predefined by SAP and are not created by users. They define the structure of the data being exchanged.

C. Communication API:APIs are provided by SAP and do not need to be created manually. Instead, they are selected during the communication arrangement setup.

To notify purchasers automatically when an RFQ is close to the quotation deadline but only a few quotations have been received, theSituation Handling Frameworkin SAP S/4HANA Cloud Public Edition is the most efficient solution. Below is an explanation of the correct answer:

By using the situation template in situation handling standard framework (A):The Situation Handling Framework allows you to configure predefined templates to monitor specific conditions, such as low response rates to RFQs. When the condition is met, the system automatically notifies relevant users.

By defining a workflow using flexible workflows (B):While flexible workflows can be configured for notifications, they require more setup and are less suited for real-time monitoring compared to the Situation Handling Framework.

By developing an application using APIs to send notifications (C):Developing a custom application is time-consuming and unnecessary when standard tools like the Situation Handling Framework are available.

By creating new RFQs and sending with email (D):Manually creating new RFQs and sending emails is inefficient and does not address the need for automated notifications.

Duringinvoice entryin sourcing and procurement, thepurchase orderis the primary document used as a reference. It ensures that the invoice matches the agreed-upon terms, quantities, and prices specified in the purchase order.

Purchase order (Option B):The purchase order serves as the reference document for verifying the accuracy of supplier invoices. It contains details such as material quantities, prices, and delivery terms, which are matched against the invoice during the three-way match process. TheSAP Invoice Management Guideconfirms this.

A. Supplier invoice:The supplier invoice is the document being entered, so it cannot serve as a reference for itself.

C. Material document:Material documents are generated during goods receipt and are not directly used as a reference during invoice entry.

D. Purchase requisition:Purchase requisitions are internal requests for procurement and are not used as a direct reference during invoice entry. Instead, the purchase order derived from the requisition is used.
