A . Margin analysis in S/4HANA updates COGS right at delivery, that's what exam reports flag. Costing-based (C) is a trap if you’re thinking old CO-PA. The question wants S/4 flavor not classic, so safe bet is A here even if some old sources say C. Disagree?
I don’t think it’s D or C. Option A is what matches S/4HANA behavior, since margin analysis updates COGS at delivery using Universal Journal integration. Costing-based (C) is a bit of a trap here, because it usually posts COGS at billing in classic setups, not at delivery. Pretty sure that’s the intent unless they mention custom configs. If anyone's found otherwise on live exams, let me know!
Makes sense to pick A here.
A tbh, margin analysis is the one that updates COGS at time of delivery in S/4HANA. Costing-based generally does it at billing instead. Not 100% but that's the usual SAP approach for event-based COGS.
I don’t think it’s C. A is correct for S/4HANA, since margin analysis updates COGS right at delivery. Costing-based usually gets flagged as a trap on these newer exam reports.
I don't think C is right here. Margin analysis (A) is the only one where COGS gets posted at the exact time of delivery, not at billing. Costing-based typically updates at billing, which is a trap in the options. I'm pretty sure it's A unless SAP changed something really recent. Disagree?
Option A not C here. Costing-based PA can also update at billing so it's a common trap.
A
A is wrong, C fits better for this kind of update since I've seen practice questions and some guides mention costing-based PA updating COGS at delivery. Might be mixing up S/4HANA specifics, but the official guide can be a little confusing. Anyone spot something in the latest practice test about this?
Why is everyone picking C when the question clearly says 'at the time of delivery only'? Margin analysis fits that best, right?
Be respectful. No spam.
