Free Practice Questions for SAP C_IBP_2502 Exam

In SAP IBP, a stored key figure with "not editable" status means users cannot manually edit it in planning views (e.g., Excel). However, values can still be updated via system processes, as per SAP IBP’s data management rules.

Option A: Importing the key figure data files using the Web UIThis is correct. Users can import data files (e.g., CSV) via the Data Integration app in the Web UI, overwriting "not editable" key figure values, a standard method, per SAP IBP’s import documentation.

Option B: Using the key figure calculations in the Web UIThis is incorrect. The Web UI (e.g., Planner Workspaces) doesn’t support direct key figure calculations; calculations are configured in the Planning Areas app or executed via jobs, not user-driven in the UI.

Option C: Using planning object maintenance with key figure data in Excel UIThis is correct. The Excel add-in’s "Manage Planning Objects" feature allows users to update key figure values for specific combinations, bypassing the "not editable" restriction, per SAP IBP’s Excel capabilities.

Option D: Managing the master data via the Web UIThis is incorrect. Master data management (e.g., via Manage Master Data app) updates attributes, not stored key figure values directly.

Thus, A and C are valid methods to modify "not editable" key figures, per SAP IBP’s officialfunctionality.

The Planner Workspaces app in SAP IBP is a Fiori-based UI that integrates planning tools, analytics, and collaboration features for supply chain planners.

Option A: It supports simulating the effect of the changesThis is incorrect. While simulation is a feature in SAP IBP (e.g., via versions or scenarios in Excel), Planner Workspaces focuses on visualization and navigation, not direct simulation execution. Simulation occurs in other apps like Excel or Manage Scenarios.

Option B: It supports favorites created in SAP IBP, add-in for Microsoft ExcelThis is correct. Planner Workspaces integrates with the Excel add-in, allowing users to access their Excel favorites (e.g., planning views) directly within the workspace. This enhances usability by linking preferred tools, as per SAP IBP’s documentation on Planner Workspaces.

Option C: It supports embedding analytic stories as a workspace componentThis is correct. Analytic stories (created in the Manage Analytics Stories app) can be embedded in Planner Workspaces, providing charts and insights alongside planning data. This is a key visualization feature, per SAP IBP’s UI capabilities.

Option D: It supports sharing with other users or user groupsThis is incorrect. Sharing is available in Excel (e.g., templates) or analytics apps, but Planner Workspaces doesn’t have a native sharing function for workspaces themselves. Collaboration occurs via other mechanisms.

Thus, B and C are accurate capabilities of Planner Workspaces, aligning with SAP IBP’s official feature set.

Units of Measure (UOM) in SAP IBP allow data to be displayed and edited in different units (e.g., kg, lbs), configured via master data and UI settings, per SAP IBP’s documentation.

Option A: Analytics allow the user to select the target unit of measureThis is correct. Analytics apps (e.g., Advanced Dashboards) and Excel planning views let users choose the target UOM for display, leveraging conversion factors, per SAP IBP’s visualization capabilities.

Option B: Units of measure are usually not time-independentThis is incorrect. UOMs are typically static (time-independent) unless explicitly modeled as time-dependent (rare), making this a misstatement.

Option C: Units of measure are an attribute of a master data type, such as ProductThis is correct. UOM (e.g., Base UOM) is an attribute of the Product master data type, with conversion factors defined in UOM Conversion master data, per SAP IBP’s setup.

Option D: Units of measure are usually not time-dependentThis is correct. UOMs are generally static attributes, not varying by time unless custom-configured, aligning with SAP IBP’s standard behavior.

Option E: Conversion to the target unit of measure is handled by the SAP IBP Excel add-inThis is incorrect. While the Excel add-in displays converted values, the conversion logic is defined in the planning area (via UOM Conversion factors), not handled solely by the add-in.

Thus, A, C, and D are key considerations, per SAP IBP’s official UOM handling.

Manual adjustments to an S&OP plan in SAP IBP involve editing key figures, supported by specific UIs, per SAP IBP’s S&OP documentation.

Option A: Leveraging the web-based planning capabilityThis is correct. The Planner Workspaces app (web-based) allows manual adjustments to key figures (e.g., demand plans), a standard feature, per SAP IBP’s UI capabilities.

Option B: Leveraging the functionality of SAP Work ZoneThis is incorrect. SAP Work Zone is a collaboration platform, not a planning tool for S&OP adjustments in IBP.

Option C: Using Microsoft Excel planning viewsThis is correct. The Excel add-in’s planning views are the primary interface for manual S&OP adjustments (e.g., editing Consensus Demand), per SAP IBP’s documentation.

Option D: Using Driver-Based PlanningThis is incorrect. Driver-Based Planning is a methodology (e.g., linking demand to drivers), not a direct manual adjustment method.

Thus, A and C are valid ways, per SAP IBP’s official planning interfaces.
