In SAP S/4HANA Cloud Public Edition, aRequest for Quotation (RFQ)can be created from aPurchase Requisition, which serves as the source document for procurement needs. Below is an explanation of the correct answer:

Purchase Requisition (B):A purchase requisition is an internal request for goods or services. From this document, an RFQ can be generated to solicit bids from suppliers.

Scheduling Agreement (A):A scheduling agreement is a long-term procurement agreement with predefined delivery schedules and cannot be used to create an RFQ.

Purchase Contract (C):A purchase contract is a formal agreement with a supplier and is not used to generate RFQs.

Purchase Order (D):A purchase order is a legally binding document issued to a supplier after the RFQ process, so it cannot be used to create an RFQ.

Thematerial typein the material (product) master data plays a critical role in controlling various aspects of material management in SAP S/4HANA Cloud Public Edition. Specifically, it determines the procurement type that is allowed for a material.

Procurement type that is allowed for a material (Option B):The material type defines whether a material can be procured externally (from vendors), internally (produced in-house), or both. For example, raw materials typically allow external procurement, while finished goods may allow internal production. TheSAP Material Master Data Guideconfirms this functionality.

A. Price unit that is used for a material:The price unit is controlled by pricing conditions and material valuation settings, not by the material type.

C. Organizational data that is allowed for a material:Organizational data (e.g., plant-specific or storage location-specific data) is defined during the creation of the material master record, not by the material type.

D. Automatic creation of a purchase requisition with a material:The automatic creation of purchase requisitions is controlled by MRP (Material Requirements Planning) settings and procurement parameters, not directly by the material type.

InSAP S/4HANA Cloud Public Edition, when creating a purchasing organization in the organizational structure, it must be assigned to acompany code. This assignment ensures that the purchasing organization is linked to the financial and legal entity for which procurement activities are performed.

Purchase organization to company code (Option D):The purchasing organization is responsible for procurement activities, and its assignment to a company code ensures proper financial integration. For example, invoices generated by the purchasing organization are posted to the corresponding company code. TheSAP Organizational Structure Guideconfirms this requirement.

A. Purchase organization to storage location:Storage locations are part of the plant structure and are not directly linked to purchasing organizations.

B. Purchase organization to distribution channel:Distribution channels are used in sales and distribution processes, not in procurement.

C. Purchase organization to plant:While purchasing organizations can interact with plants during procurement, they are not directly assigned to plants. Instead, plants are assigned to company codes.
