 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

 Core Data Services (CDS) is a layer of SAP S/4HANA that provides a universal language to read and process data across different applications. CDS is based on SQL and extends it with domain-specific features and annotations. CDS views are reusable and can be consumed by various interfaces such as SAP Fiori, OData, or SQL. CDS views also enable the definition of semantic data models that expose the business logic and meaning of the underlying data sources. References = [SAP S/4HANA Cloud Public Edition - Introduction to Core Data Services], [SAP S/4HANA Cloud Public Edition - Core Data Services in SAP S/4HANA Cloud]

The IT Contact is the person who receives the welcome email from SAP and is responsible for setting up the initial access to SAP Cloud ALM. The IT Contact needs to eventually provide all project team members access to SAP Cloud ALM, but it’s most important the partner and customer project managers are given access first, because they are responsible for setting up the implementation project and assigning tasks to the other project team members1. The project manager is a partner role that has the authorization to create and manage projects in SAP Cloud ALM2. References = Setting up the Implementation Project in SAP Cloud ALM, Teams, Roles, and Access Restrictions | SAP Help Portal

In the context of SAP Cloud ALM (Application Lifecycle Management), the IT Contact is typically responsible for the initial setup and assignment of roles within the project. The first role to which the IT Contact often assigns access permission is:

Project manager: The project manager plays a crucial role in overseeing the SAP project's planning, execution, and completion. By assigning access permission to the project manager first, the IT Contact ensures that the project manager has the necessary tools and insights to manage the project effectively within SAP Cloud ALM. This access allows the project manager to monitor project progress, manage resources, and make informed decisions, facilitating successful project execution and alignment with business goals.

Granting the project manager access to SAP Cloud ALM is a strategic decision that empowers them to lead the project efficiently, leveraging the platform's capabilities for project management, monitoring, and collaboration.

For implementing SAP S/4HANA Cloud Public Edition for a customer, the following systems are commonly used:

Sandbox system: This system is used in the very early stages of the project for exploration and trying out different configurations without affecting the development or production environments. It's a safe space for experimentation.

Development system: This system is where the initial setup and customizations are made. Configuration changes, custom development, and extensions are carried out here before being moved to the test system for further testing.

Test system: After configurations and developments are done in the development system, they are transported to the test system. This environment is used for rigorous testing to ensure that everything works as expected and to identify any issues before moving to the production environment.

These systems play crucial roles in the implementation process, allowing for a structured and phased approach to setting up, customizing, testing, and finally deploying SAP S/4HANA Cloud Public Edition.

A business role is assigned to a business user to provide access to business tasks. A business role can contain one or more business catalogs, which are predefined by SAP and contain the actual authorizations that allow users to access the apps contained in the catalog. Each business catalog bundles authorizations for a specific business area. You can tailor the access according to the needs of the business and for compliance purposes using restrictions. References = Finding the Required Business Roles and Business Catalogs for a Solution Process, Defining Business Roles for Production, Business Roles and Catalogs

When an end user has been assigned a business role that grants access to only one specific application, and the app does not appear on the user's SAP Fiori Launchpad, the recommended action for the user is:

Use the search function to find the app: The search function on the SAP Fiori Launchpad allows users to locate applications by their name or related keywords. Even if the app is not immediately visible on the launchpad due to configuration issues or other reasons, using the search function can help the user access the app directly. This is a quick and effective way for users to access necessary applications when they encounter visibility issues on their launchpad.

  Tools that enable non-developers to create low/no-code extensions are designed to be user-friendly, requiring minimal to no programming knowledge, allowing business users to tailor applications to their specific needs. Among these tools, SAP Fiori extensibility apps and SAP Build stand out:

SAP Fiori extensibility apps: These apps allow users to adapt the user interface and behavior of standard SAP Fiori apps without writing code. Users can personalize forms, fields, and workflows directly within the SAP Fiori environment, making it possible to adjust applications to meet specific business requirements.

SAP Build: SAP Build is a suite of tools designed to enable users to create and enhance applications, automate processes, and design business sites with low-code or no-code approaches. It provides a user-friendly interface where users can drag and drop components, set up workflows, and integrate data without needing deep technical expertise.

 Fiscal year variant and group currency are activities that are applied to the entire system and cannot be changed after confirmation in SAP Central Business Configuration. These activities are part of the system provisioning step, which is the first step in the implementation process. Once the system provisioning is completed and confirmed, the system is locked for these activities and any changes would require a new system provisioning. Scoping and configuration activities, on the other hand, are not applied to the entire system and can be changed later on in the project experience step, which is the second step in the implementation process. Scoping and configuration activities allow the user to adapt the preconfiguration content to their company’s needs and extend the configuration for areas not equipped with preconfiguration content. References = SAP Central Business Configuration – Overview, page 6; Configuring with SAP Central Business Configuration

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.
