 SAP Business Application Studio and SAP Build are two tools that enable customers to develop their own custom applications and integrate them with SAP S/4HANA Cloud Public Edition. SAP Business Application Studio is a cloud-based development environment that offers both low-code and full-stack development capabilities. It supports various SAP technologies and frameworks, such as SAP Fiori, SAPUI5, SAP Cloud Application Programming Model, and SAP Cloud SDK. SAP Build is a cloud-based prototyping and user research tool that helps customers to design and test user interfaces for their applications. It provides a drag-and-drop interface, a library of UI components, and integration with SAP Web IDE and SAP Fiori Launchpad. Both tools are part of the SAP Extension Suite, which provides a range of services and capabilities to extend SAP applications and processes. References = Create a SAP Fiori App and Deploy it to SAP S/4HANA Cloud > Create a SAP Fiori App and Deploy it to SAP S/4HANA Cloud. Create a SAP Fiori App and Deploy it to SAP S/4HANA Cloud > Create a SAP Fiori App and Deploy it to SAP S/4HANA Cloud. Low-code/No-code | SAP Developers.

During the Fit-to-Standard workshops, an implementation consultant supports customer experts by doing the following:

Demonstrate SAP Best Practice business processes in the starter system. The consultant shows the customer experts how the standard processes work in SAP S/4HANA Cloud Public Edition and how they fit their business needs1.

Highlight areas that require configuration or customization decisions. The consultant identifies and documents the gaps between the standard processes and the customer requirements, and proposes solutions that are aligned with the cloud mindset1.

The other options are not the correct ways to support customer experts during the Fit-to-Standard workshops. Determining set up instructions for customer-driven integrations is done in the integration phase, after the Fit-to-Standard workshops are completed2. Conducting end-user training on active scope items is done in the deploy phase, before the go-live of the system3. References = Conducting Fit-to-Standard Workshops - SAP Learning, SAP S/4HANA Cloud Public Edition - Integration, Deploying SAP S/4HANA Cloud Public Edition.

The following would prevent SAP from running a Post-Upgrade Test (PUT) on a customer’s behalf:

An execution variant has not been maintained: An execution variant is a set of test data that is used to execute a test process. It contains the input values and expected results for each test step. If an execution variant is not maintained for a test process, the system cannot run the test automatically and will skip it1.

The test process failed the execution pre-check: The execution pre-check is a validation that is performed before the test execution to ensure that the test process and the execution variant are consistent and complete. If the execution pre-check fails, it means that there are some issues or gaps in the test process or the execution variant that need to be resolved before the test can be run2.

The following would not prevent SAP from running a Post-Upgrade Test (PUT) on a customer’s behalf:

Data marked for deletion is picked for execution: Data marked for deletion is data that is no longer relevant or valid for the test process. It can be marked for deletion by the customer or by SAP. However, this does not affect the test execution, as the system will ignore the data marked for deletion and use the available data for the test process3.

The process steps have been reordered: The process steps are the individual actions that are performed as part of the test process. They can be reordered by the customer or by SAP to reflect the changes in the business process or the user interface. However, this does not affect the test execution, as the system will follow the order of the process steps as defined in the test process4.

Sandbox system: This is an optional system that can be used to explore the SAP S/4HANA Cloud Public Edition capabilities and features before the implementation project starts. It is not connected to the starter system or the test system and does not have any data migration or configuration tools. It can be refreshed on demand by the customer1.

Starter system: This is the first system that is provisioned for the customer after the contract is signed. It is used to perform the fit-to-standard workshops, where the customer validates the standard processes and identifies the gaps and requirements. It also serves as the configuration system, where the customer configures the business processes using the SAP Central Business Configuration tool. The starter system is connected to the test system and can transfer the configuration and master data to it2.

Test system: This is the second system that is provisioned for the customer after the starter system is configured. It is used to perform the integration testing, user acceptance testing, data migration, and cutover activities. It also serves as the production system, where the customer runs the live business processes after the go-live. The test system is connected to the starter system and can receive the configuration and master data from it3.

The systems that are not used to implement SAP S/4HANA Cloud Public Edition for a customer are:

Trial system: This is a system that can be used to experience the SAP S/4HANA Cloud Public Edition solution for a limited time. It is not connected to any other system and does not have any data migration or configuration tools. It is not part of the implementation project and does not require a contract4.

Development system: This is a system that can be used to develop custom applications or extensions using the SAP Business Technology Platform. It is not part of the SAP S/4HANA Cloud Public Edition landscape and does not have any data migration or configuration tools. It requires a separate contract and license.

In the Product-Specific Configuration Phase within SAP Central Business Configuration, several key activities can be performed to tailor the SAP S/4HANA Cloud system to meet specific business needs:

Add new sales organizations: This activity involves setting up new sales organizations within the system, defining the structure of the sales department, and aligning it with the company's sales strategies and territories. This setup is crucial for managing sales processes, customer relationships, and sales reporting.

Change approval thresholds: Modifying approval thresholds is an essential configuration activity that adjusts the approval limits for various transactions, ensuring that the approval process aligns with the company's internal control and governance policies. This can involve setting different thresholds for purchase orders, expense approvals, and other financial transactions.

Add blocking reasons for billing: This configuration activity allows the company to define specific reasons for blocking billing documents, ensuring that billing does not proceed under certain conditions until the issues are resolved. This is critical for maintaining accurate and compliant billing processes.

These activities are part of the detailed configuration work that tailors the SAP S/4HANA Cloud system to the specific operational needs of the business, ensuring that the software supports the company's unique processes and policies.

When you build an integration scenario using the SAP Fiori Communication Management apps in SAP S/4HANA Cloud Public Edition, you must create a communication system and a communication arrangement. A communication system represents the communication partner within a communication, such as the system that calls or provides services. A communication arrangement defines the settings for a specific communication scenario, such as the authentication method, the communication user, and the service URL. You can use the Communication Systems app and the Communication Arrangements app to create and manage these objects in the SAP Fiori launchpad. References = Setting up Communication Management - SAP Learning, Setting up SAP Best Practices Integrations - SAP Learning, Setting Up Integrations in SAP S/4HANA Cloud Public Edition

 To integrate SAP S/4HANA Cloud Public Edition with another SAP public cloud solution, you should use SAP Integration Suite and predelivered APIs. SAP Integration Suite is a cloud-based integration platform that provides a comprehensive set of capabilities to connect applications, data, and processes across different environments. Predelivered APIs are predefined interfaces that enable communication and data exchange between SAP S/4HANA Cloud Public Edition and other SAP public cloud solutions, such as SAP SuccessFactors, SAP Ariba, SAP Fieldglass, and SAP Concur. SAP Process Orchestration and SAP Cloud Connector are not the correct technologies for this scenario, as they are mainly used for integrating SAP S/4HANA Cloud Public Edition with on-premise or hybrid systems. References = SAP S/4HANA Cloud Public Edition - Integration, SAP Integration Suite, SAP S/4HANA Cloud Public Edition - API Hub

The SAP Fiori Apps Reference Library is a comprehensive online library of all available SAP Fiori apps. It provides information about the app features, technical data, configuration, and implementation. You can use the SAP Fiori Apps Reference Library to look up the business catalog(s) that grant access to an app by following these steps:

Go to the SAP Fiori Apps Reference Library website and log in with your SAP credentials.

In the search bar, enter the name or ID of the app you want to restrict access to, and click the search icon.

In the search results, click on the app tile to open the app details page.

On the app details page, scroll down to the Implementation Information section and expand the Configuration tab.

Under the Configuration tab, you will see the Business Catalog field, which lists the business catalog(s) that contain the app. You can click on the business catalog ID to view more details about it, such as the business roles, business groups, and other apps that are assigned to it.

The Extensibility Cockpit app within SAP S/4HANA Cloud Public Edition is a central tool for managing and monitoring the extensibility aspects of the system. It provides an overview of the extension items created, including custom fields, custom business objects, and other extension elements. Importantly, it also shows the available business context capacity remaining for these extension items, which is crucial for ensuring that the system's extensibility is managed within the provided limits. This helps in planning and managing customizations effectively, ensuring that the system remains scalable and performant.

 In the Realize phase of the SAP Activate Methodology, the project team uses a series of iterations to build and test a complete business and system environment based on the inputs from the previous steps. The activities in this phase include1:

Receiving the systems from SAP

Performing configuration in the Q-System using SAP Central Business Configuration

Setting up manual test cases in SAP Cloud ALM

Performing data loads and data migration

Delivering key-user training

Preparing for cutover and go-live Therefore, the correct answers are C and D, as they are part of the Realize phase activities. References = 1 SAP Activate – Explore Phase: Use Fit-to-Standard to Confirm Business Process Requirements - SAP Community

 Before you can migrate data for a specific object, you need to ensure that the following tasks are completed:

Predecessor objects have been migrated: Some migration objects depend on other migration objects that need to be migrated first. For example, before you can migrate sales orders, you need to migrate customers, products, and pricing conditions. You can check the dependencies of migration objects in the Migration Cockpit or in the Migration Object Modeler12.

Permission to migrate the data has been assigned: In addition to having permission to access the Migrate Your Data app, you need permission to migrate each type of data. This is because the Migration Cockpit tool uses the same APIs and technical checks that would be done if you were to create a new data value through the respective application. For example, if you need to create a new bank record in your system, you would use the application, Manage Banks - Master Data. The app would present you with several fields capturing information about the new bank to create the record in your system. Now if you need to create 1,000 banks, it wouldn’t be feasible to create each through the Manage Banks - Master Data app one-by-one. Therefore, you need to have the permission to use the Manage Banks - Master Data app in order to migrate bank data using the Migration Cockpit3.

The other tasks are not mandatory before you can migrate data for a specific object. You can select different migration methods for different objects, depending on your source system and data format. You can also have multiple migration projects in progress at the same time, as long as they do not contain the same migration objects4. References = Migration Object Modeler, Migrating Data with the SAP S/4HANA Migration Cockpit, SAP S/4 HANA Data Migration Cockpit: Migrate Your Data App Guide, Migrating Data to SAP S/4HANA Cloud, Public Edition

A public cloud is a type of cloud computing in which a third-party service provider makes computing resources available to users over the public Internet. Some characteristics of public cloud are:

Multi-tenant server: Public cloud uses shared infrastructure, where multiple users or organizations can access the same resources, such as compute, storage, or applications. The data and applications of each user are isolated and secured from others. This allows for efficient utilization of resources and scalability.

Lower total cost of ownership: Public cloud reduces the upfront and operational costs of IT, as users do not need to purchase, install, or maintain hardware or software. Users only pay for the resources they use, and can benefit from the economies of scale and continuous innovation of the cloud service provider.

Based on the SAP Activate methodology, the Explore phase is where consultants configure business processes based on the information gathered in the Fit-to-Standard workshops. The Fit-to-Standard analysis is conducted in a series of workshops and allows for validation of predefined scenarios agreed upon and to make room for enhancements or additional configuration required. To prepare for this workshop, it is recommended that teams get familiar with the SAP Best Practices content, including the process flows, test scripts with sample data, and other documentation available in SAP Best Practices Explorer. Consultants should also use the Test system to demonstrate SAP Best Practice processes and enable business users to run the end-to-end processes and identify any gaps. The other two activities, conducting the Digital Discovery Assessment and defining the organizational structure and chart of accounts, are part of the Prepare phase, not the Explore phase. References = SAP Activate – Explore Phase: Use Fit-to-Standard to confirm business process fit and identify gaps in your SAP S/4HANA Cloud Implementation, SAP Explore Phase Activities: Define Target BP and Architecture, SAP Activate Elements and Phases, Explaining the Explore Phase

 The initial list of known integrations is documented in the Business Driven Configuration Questionnaire (BDCQ). The BDCQ is a tool that helps you to capture the business requirements and scope of your SAP S/4HANA Cloud Public Edition project. It contains a series of questions that cover different aspects of your business processes, such as organizational structure, master data, configuration settings, and integration scenarios. The BDCQ also provides guidance on the best practices and recommendations for your project12.

One of the sections in the BDCQ is the Integration section, where you can document the initial list of known integrations that are relevant for your project. The Integration section contains questions about the integration scenarios that you want to enable, such as cross-system process integration, data replication, data migration, and third-party integration. The Integration section also provides information on the available integration options, such as SAP Cloud Platform Integration, SAP API Business Hub, and SAP Cloud ALM13.

The initial list of known integrations is important for your project, as it helps you to identify the integration requirements, dependencies, and risks that need to be considered in the project planning and execution. The initial list of known integrations also helps you to select the appropriate integration tools and methods, and to align the integration scope with the SAP S/4HANA Cloud Public Edition roadmap and release cycles13.

Therefore, the correct answer is A, as the initial list of known integrations is documented in the BDCQ. References = 1 Business Driven Configuration Questionnaire - SAP Help Portal 2 Business Driven Configuration Questionnaire - SAP Community 3 SAP S/4HANA Cloud Public Edition Integration - SAP Help Portal
