- When creating a Material BOM, what information is typically found in the BOM header?
- A) List of individual components and their quantities B) The material number of the finished product, plant, and BOM usage C) Work center details and production timelines D) Supplier information for purchased parts
- What is an “Alternative BOM” in SAP?
- A) A BOM for a completely different product B) A different version of a BOM for the same product, used for different manufacturing processes, lot sizes, or validity periods C) A BOM that only includes alternative, non-standard components D) A simplified BOM used only for display purposes
- Which item category in a BOM is typically used for a standard, stocked component?
- A) N – Non-stock item B) L – Stock item C) D – Document item D) T – Text item
- What is the significance of a “Change Number” when modifying a BOM?
- A) It automatically generates a new BOM version. B) It documents changes made to the BOM with a specific validity date and provides an audit trail. C) It restricts access to the BOM during changes. D) It is used to calculate the cost impact of the BOM changes.
- In the context of BOMs, what does “explosion” refer to?
- A) Deleting a BOM from the system B) The process of breaking down a product into its individual components listed in the BOM, level by level C) A critical error during BOM maintenance D) The final approval step for a new BOM
- Which of the following is NOT a typical BOM category you can maintain in SAP?
- A) Equipment BOM B) Functional Location BOM C) Sales Order BOM D) Competitor Product BOM
- What is a “Group BOM” in SAP?
- A) A BOM that groups multiple finished products together B) A BOM that is created centrally without reference to a specific plant and can be assigned to multiple plants C) A BOM created by a group of users D) A temporary BOM used for planning purposes only
- If you want to include descriptive information or instructions within a BOM, which item category would be most appropriate?
- A) L – Stock item B) R – Variable-size item C) T – Text item D) K – Class item
- What is the transaction code typically used to change a Material BOM in SAP?
- A) CS01 (Create Material BOM) B) CS02 (Change Material BOM) C) CS03 (Display Material BOM) D) MM02 (Change Material Master)
- When deleting a BOM with history (using a change number), what happens?
- A) The BOM is immediately and permanently removed from the system. B) The BOM is marked for deletion and archived after a set period. C) The system records the deletion date based on the change number’s valid-from date, and the BOM’s state before that date is retained. D) Only the BOM items are deleted, the header remains.
- Which of the following is a prerequisite for creating a Material BOM for a material?
- A) A sales order must exist for the material. B) The material must have a valid material master record. C) A production order must have been created. D) The material must be assigned to a purchasing group.
- The “Maintain Bill of Material” Fiori app allows users to:
- A) Only display existing BOMs. B) Create, display, change, and delete BOMs. C) Only manage BOMs for configurable materials. D) Only assign BOMs to production orders.
- What does the term “recursive BOM” imply?
- A) A BOM that refers to itself, meaning a component is also the assembly or part of the assembly. B) A BOM that is used repeatedly in many different products. C) A BOM that has been revised multiple times. D) A BOM that is automatically generated by the system.
- For what purpose might you use BOM usage “Sales and Distribution”?
- A) To plan raw material requirements. B) To structure products that are sold as a set or package, where components are listed in the sales order. C) For internal engineering design and prototyping. D) To calculate manufacturing overhead costs.
- What key information is generally required when adding a component to a BOM?
- A) Component material number, quantity, and unit of measure. B) Component supplier and price. C) Component color and weight. D) Component manufacturing date and batch number.
- If a BOM component has its “Production relevant” indicator set, what does this typically mean?
- A) The component is only used for sales kits. B) The component is considered during Material Requirements Planning (MRP) and for production orders. C) The component is an optional item. D) The component is sourced externally.
- The “base quantity” in the BOM header refers to:
- A) The total number of components in the BOM. B) The quantity of the finished product for which the component quantities are specified. C) The minimum order quantity for the finished product. D) The total weight of the finished product.
