Your currency translation is not translating opening balances.

What setting must be changed?

  • A . Translation key
  • B . Exchange rate indicator
  • C . Reference rate
  • D . Selection

Reveal Solution Hide Solution

Correct Answer: B
B

Explanation:

The Exchange Rate Indicator in SAP determines which exchange rate is used during the currency translation process. If the opening balances are not being translated, it could be because the exchange rate indicator is not set to use the correct rate type for opening balances. Adjusting this indicator to ensure it references the appropriate exchange rate type for the translation of opening balances should resolve the issue.

Question #19

What do group journal validation and substitution have in common? Note: There are 2 correct answers to this question.

  • A . Table lookups
  • B . Preconditions
  • C . Control levels
  • D . Filtering logic

Reveal Solution Hide Solution

Correct Answer: BD
BD

Explanation:

According to the SAP S/4HANA Finance for Group Reporting Associates documents1, group journal validation and substitution have the following things in common:

Preconditions: Conditions that define when a validation or substitution rule is executed. Preconditions can be based on different dimensions or attributes of the data, such as company code, account type, etc.

Filtering logic: Logic that defines how data is filtered and selected for validation or substitution purposes. Filtering logic can be based on different operators or expressions, such as equal to, greater than, contains, etc.

Question #20

The balance sheet in SAP S/4HANA Finance for group reporting is out of balance.

When data validation is run, what is the result?

  • D . The variance will be posted to a reporting financial statement item.

Reveal Solution Hide Solution

Correct Answer: B
B

Explanation:

When data validation identifies that the balance sheet is out of balance, it usually triggers a block on subsequent tasks. This is to prevent the propagation of incorrect or unbalanced data through further processing steps. The system is designed to ensure data integrity, and as such, it will not allow tasks that depend on balanced financial statements to proceed until the discrepancy is resolved. This feature helps maintain the accuracy and reliability of financial reporting within the system.

Question #27

Where can fiscal year variants be assigned? Note: There are 2 correct answers to this question.

  • A . To consolidation ledgers
  • B . To versions
  • C . To consolidation groups
  • D . To consolidation units

Reveal Solution Hide Solution

Correct Answer: BD
BD

Explanation:

In SAP systems, fiscal year variants can be assigned to the following:

To versions: Fiscal year variants can be assigned to different versions in SAP, such as planning or actual versions. This determines how fiscal years are structured and managed within each version.

To consolidation units: Fiscal year variants can be assigned to consolidation units, which are entities within the consolidation that have their own financial statements. Assigning fiscal year variants to consolidation units helps to define the fiscal calendar that these units follow.

Question #28

Reveal Solution Hide Solution

Correct Answer: A, B
A, B

Explanation:

In SAP, the activity-based consolidation of investments features includes:

Ownership percentages posted separately from investment values: This allows for more detailed and flexible handling of investments and ownership structures. By posting ownership percentages separately from the investment values, it provides a clearer understanding of the investment relationships and their financial implications.

Pre-defined posting logic: Activity-based consolidation in SAP typically comes with pre-defined posting logic. This standardizes the consolidation process, ensuring consistency and accuracy in handling various consolidation scenarios, such as changes in ownership percentages or equity pick-up calculations.

Question #30

What are the prerequisites for a horizontal merger? Note: There are 2 correct answers to this question.

  • A . Both consolidation units have the same investors.
  • B . Both consolidation units belong to different consolidation groups.
  • C . Both consolidation units have the different investors.
  • D . Both consolidation units belong to the same consolidation group.

Reveal Solution Hide Solution

Correct Answer: B, C
B, C

Explanation:

In the context of financial consolidation and reporting, particularly for a horizontal merger, the prerequisites typically include:

Both consolidation units belong to different consolidation groups: For a horizontal merger to be relevant, it generally involves the combination of two units from different consolidation groups. This reflects the consolidation of entities that were previously separate in terms of their group reporting structures.

Both consolidation units have different investors: This prerequisite suggests that the consolidation units being merged should have distinct investor bases prior to the merger. The concept of different investors is important in distinguishing the entities as separate before the merger.
