What can you do with the Maintain Form Templates app?
maintain form templates to streamline your records. You can use the predefined form templates as a basis for documents you want to print, such as invoices.
What can you do with the Manage Texts app?
manage the texts for your master forms. The app also provides information about how many and which master forms use a specific text.
Immediately following the importing of users, the IT Contact should:
go back to Identity Provisioning (IPS) and run a job for the Identity Authentication (IAS) system to replicate the new users and their assigned permissions to SAP Central Business Configuration
Where does the Export Customizing Transports SAP Fiori app live?
in the customizing tenant of the SAP S/4HANA Cloud Development system
What can you do with the Manage Logos app?
upload, download, edit, and delete the logos for your master forms. The app also provides information about how many and which master forms use a specific logo.
What is the Import Collection SAP Fiori app used for?
used in the Test and Production systems to import customizing requests, software collections, and development requests.
What is the SAP Forms Service?
used to manage print and interactive forms. It is a cloud-based service, running on the SAP Business Technology Platform, based on the Adobe Document Services (ADS) component by Adobe. Since the SAP Forms service provides virtually the same features, you can use it as an alternative to ADS based on SAP NetWeaver and call it from an application running on an ABAP or Java backend system. Using the SAP Forms service, SAP manages the complete service for you and is responsible for all patches and updates.
What can you do with the Display Email Transmissions app?
used to monitor email transmissions for an application. This helps you identify and analyze errors to support in troubleshooting an issue.
By importing new users to Identity Authentication with a CSV file, you create:
user profiles without passwords. As a result, the users receive e-mails with instructions on how to activate their accounts.
To import users in the Identity Authentication Service (IAS), the IT Contact:
will mass-import all project team members that require access to CBC for their job tasks
SAP Central Business Configuration is designed to provide guidance for your implementation project by controlling the sequence of activities that are completed. In the Project Experience, you can manage:
your team members, complete activities to set up and configure your systems, and view the project status.

SAP for Me
What is the IT Contact?
a role assigned to a customer to grant administrator access to the SAP Cloud Identity systems and support applications in SAP for Me. Only one person can be assigned as the IT Contact. Since this user is heavily involved in system activities and will receive system provisioning notifications, it's important the right person was assigned.
You should not configure Cloud Print Managers (CPMs) on two different Windows PCs using the same URL + Technical Print User combination because it:
confuses the system
What are the 2 choices for group ledgers when defining the initial scope?
1. Accounting and Financial Close - Group Ledger IFRS (International Financial Reporting Standards) -- IFRS 2. Group Ledger US GAAP (United States Generally Accepted Accounting Principles) -- GAAP

The guided workflow process of configuration in CBC includes... There are 3 main components of CBC config:
1. scope (business processes and countries) 2. organizational structure (fy variant, group currency, org structure) 3. product-specific configuration (config activities to define business processes and release transports)
One workspace is connected to one tenant of the SAP S/4HANA Cloud Starter and Development systems. In total, how many workspaces will be created to connect to the (1) customizing and (2) development tenants of the Starter system and (3) customizing and (4) development tenants of the Development system?
4 workspaces are created
Q3. Which applications in SAP S/4HANA Cloud are replaced by SAP Central Business Configuration (CBC)? A. Test Your Processes B. Migrate Your Data C. Configure Your Solution D. Manage Your Solution
C & D; The Manage Your Solution and Configure Your Solution apps are replaced with SAP Central Business Configuration.
Q4. In which phase does the Integration Setup activity occur? A. Scope and Organizational Structure B. Production System Settings C. Product-Specific Configuration
C; While the actual setup of integrations takes place outside of SAP Central Business Configuration, there is still an activity reminding you to begin working on integration setup in the Product-Specific Configuration phase.

D; You should install SAP Cloud Print Manager once in your network. You only need to install SAP Cloud Print Manager more than once if you have multiple separate networks with printers that you want to use for process-integrated printing.
After completing a configuration activity, you are prompted to assign the change to a customizing request. You can assign the changes to a new request or an existing one. These customizing requests can be further edited or released to the Test system using which Fiori app?
Export Customizing Transports SAP Fiori app
In the configuration workflow process in CBC, describe the Product-Specific Configuration step:
In CBC, carry out configuration activities to define business processes and release transports to the target systems. The configuration activities visible are based on the active scope
In the configuration workflow process in CBC, describe the Scope step:
In CBC, select the scope items (business processes) and countries in which to activate them, and then 'assign' systems as the deployment targets
In the configuration workflow process in CBC, describe the Organizational Structure step:
In CBC, specify primary finance settings such as group currency and fiscal year variant, set up the organizational structure, and deploy the settings
Print Queues do not belong to a specific business user, but to a:
Technical Print User
The Configuration Localization Toolkit (CLT) allows you to:
activate countries that are not covered by SAP Best Practices. You can create a localized country in your project by selecting a source and target country. When you deploy the content to the SAP S/4HANA Cloud system, the new country will be activated based on the configuration and setup available in the source country.
What can you do in the Maintain Email Templates app?
define email templates to streamline your email correspondence. Templates consist of fixed content (e.g. subject or disclaimer) and variable parts (e.g. form of address).
You only need to install SAP Cloud Print Manager more than once if you have:
multiple separate networks with printers that you want to use for process-integrated printing.
Can you change the source/target country combination after you've confirmed your selections in CBC?
no
How many times should you install the SAP Cloud Print Manager in your network?
once
In the context of the Project Experience, 'activities' are grouped into:
phases, and each phase ends with a milestone
After you select the scope and define the organizational structure in SAP Central Business Configuration, the content is automatically deployed to the development system tenants and activated. After content is activated, you complete:
product-specific configuration activities, such as defining expenses or work items and groups in SAP CBC
The IT Contact needs to set a Home URL for their SAP Central Business Configuration system when setting up initial access. By default, the Home URL is empty, however if the field is not maintained, you cannot:
send activation emails to users imported in IAS
The last step of setting up initial access to SAP CBC is to:
send email notifications to project team members. The project team member assigned the Project Lead / Manager role in SAP Central Business Configuration can now log in, create project workspaces, add the relevant project team members to the "Team" and complete the guided workflow steps to activate business content in the SAP S/4HANA Cloud Starter System tenants (both tenants).
What can you do with the Maintain Print Queues app?
set up print queues to manage the printing of documents and monitor the print jobs in each queue. This helps you to identify and analyze errors to troubleshoot and resolve issues.
After the SAP Cloud ALM and SAP Central Business Configuration emails are received by the IT Contact, the IT Contact should:
set up the integration connecting the 2 systems. This makes it easier to navigate directly to SAP Central Business Configuration when a project team member is working on a relevant task in SAP Cloud ALM.
What tab provides detailed information on changes performed in the Project Experience? This tab serves audit purpose by tracking and logging history in place that captures changes in project activities with the time, name, fields changed, and area.
the Change Logs tab
After setting a Home URL for SAP CBC, the next step is to:
the IT Contact accesses the Identity Provisioning Service (IPS) from the link provided in the SAP Central Business Configuration (CBC) provisioning email. The IT Contact runs a job to copy the permission roles (user groups) from CBC to the IAS so users can be created and assigned the roles.
A user with permission can easily switch between projects and create additional projects. They can also move to an earlier phase by using what functionality?
the Initiate Change functionality
Changes in the development tenant (client 080) are recorded on workbench requests. To make a development available for import in the Test System, you release the workbench request using which Fiori app?
the Transport Organizer view in ABAP Development Tools
In SAP Central Business Configuration, a project workspace contains:
the business content and activities that need to be completed to deploy content to an SAP S/4HANA Cloud tenant.
