SAP S/4HANA MM study plan

Diagram the end-to-end procurement cycle from purchase requisition through purchase order, goods receipt, invoice verification, and payment, naming the document created at each step

Differentiate purchase requisition, request for quotation, purchase order, contract, and scheduling agreement by purpose, required fields, and when each is used

Configure a purchase order document type end to end: number range, field selection, allowed item categories, and partner determination

Match each account assignment category to the business scenario that requires it and state what happens to the PO account assignment tab

Set up and explain a release strategy for purchase orders, including characteristics, class, release group, release code, and release indicator

Configure pricing procedure determination for purchase orders and trace how a condition record flows into the net price

Configure tolerances and message/output determination for purchasing documents and predict which warning or error fires in a given over-delivery or price-variance case

Identify which purchasing master data objects (material master purchasing view, vendor master, info record, source list) drive each defaulted field on a purchase order

Compare standard price and moving average price control, predicting the valuation outcome of a goods receipt at a price different from the PO price under each

Trace every automatic posting rule used in procurement (goods receipt, invoice receipt, GR/IR clearing, price differences) to its account determination key and G/L account

Configure account determination for a new valuation class and transaction key, and explain the dependency on valuation grouping code and account modifier

Solve five given account assignment scenarios end to end, naming the debit and credit accounts produced at goods receipt and at invoice receipt

Explain how goods movements and invoice differences post to price difference accounts and how that changes inventory value and cost of goods sold

Describe split valuation, when it is required, and how valuation types and valuation categories affect material master accounting views

Analyze a material master accounting view and state which fields must be set before the first goods movement and why they lock afterwards

Complete a timed, closed-book set of 40 mixed questions across procurement customizing and valuation

Classify goods movement types by business purpose and predict the debit and credit lines each generates

Execute and explain reservation, goods issue to cost center or order, transfer posting between storage locations and between plant or company code, and stock transfer in two steps

Distinguish unrestricted, quality inspection, blocked, and special stocks (consignment, subcontracting, customer, sales order) by ownership and by valuation impact

Plan and execute a physical inventory: create the physical inventory document, post a count, analyze differences, and post the difference

Explain cycle counting and inventory sampling as alternatives to an annual count and state when each is appropriate

Execute the three-way match for a purchase order based invoice and predict the exact blocking reason code triggered by quantity, price, date, or amount variance

Configure invoice verification tolerance limits for each variance type and justify each setting

Process credit memos, subsequent debits and credits, and cancel an invoice, stating the reversal posting each creates

Evaluate Evaluated Receipt Settlement and consignment settlement as alternatives to invoice-based settlement, listing the prerequisites for each

Compare consignment, subcontracting, third-party order processing, pipeline handling, and stock transport orders by ownership transfer point, required master data, and postings

Configure a source list and a quota arrangement and describe how each influences automatic source determination in a purchase requisition

Explain the MRP-relevant fields of the material master purchasing view and how lot size, planned delivery time, and gr processing time change procurement proposals

Build a comparison matrix of the special procurement processes rather than memorizing them individually

Integrate all five domains by walking a single end-to-end scenario from requisition to payment and naming the document, posting, and account for every step

Re-attempt every previously missed question and confirm each corrected rule can be stated without reference material

Complete two timed full-length mock exams under exam conditions

Rank remaining weak areas and close the top three with targeted review before test day
