Domain 4: G/L Tolerances and Automatic Clearing (≤10%)
Question 3
An open-item-managed suspense account contains an equal debit and credit, both in local and document currency EUR. Supporting evidence confirms they belong to the same transaction. Automatic clearing separates them because their legitimate Assignment values differ; all other matching fields agree. Policy requires retaining Assignment as a grouping criterion. How can this pair be resolved while preserving that control?
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: A - Use Clear G/L Accounts to select and manually clear the verified debit and credit.
Domain 5: General Ledger (≤10%)

Domain 6: Dunning Process for a Delayed Payer (≤10%)
Question 5
Using Create Dunning Notices, a collector blocked a disputed invoice only within last month's proposal. The invoice appears again in the new proposal. Other overdue invoices for this customer must remain eligible for reminders while the dispute is investigated. Where should the collector maintain the exclusion so that it persists for subsequent runs?
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: B - On the disputed customer line item, by setting its dunning block.
Domain 7: Accounts Receivable (11-20%)
Question 6
A customer's remittance advice identifies invoice B, but the correctly posted receipt was cleared against invoice A. Both invoices belong to the same customer, have the same amount and currency, and are valid. Invoice B remains open. The clearing generated no exchange difference, discount, or other adjustment. Which correction reallocates the receipt while retaining the valid accounting postings?
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: B - Reset the clearing, then apply the original receipt to invoice B.
Domain 8: Create Fixed Asset in a new Asset Class (≤10%)
Question 7
During configuration testing, acquisitions in customer asset class ZLAB and the existing machinery class both debit the same equipment G/L account. Both classes use the same account-determination key. Finance requires future ZLAB acquisitions to debit a dedicated laboratory-equipment account while machinery postings remain unchanged. Which configuration change satisfies that requirement?
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: D - Assign ZLAB a separate account-determination key mapped to the laboratory-equipment account.
Domain 9: Asset Accounting (≤10%)
Question 8
At 31 December, you are reviewing depreciation for a machine capitalized on 1 May. The supplier invoice is EUR 64,800, including EUR 10,800 of fully recoverable input tax. For financial reporting, the asset has an eight-year straight-line life and EUR 6,000 residual value; the tax valuation uses a five-year life. Financial-reporting depreciation starts on 1 May and uses twelve equal monthly periods. There were no later acquisitions, impairments, or disposals. Which amount belongs in the financial-reporting depreciation expense for this calendar year?
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: D - EUR 4,000
Domain 11: Accounts Payable (≤10%)
Question 9
Minutes before a supplier's EUR 180,000 payment is released, an email in the existing invoice thread requests a new IBAN. The invoice details are accurate and a bank letter is attached, but AP has not verified the change through another channel. Which response best protects this payment from diversion?
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: B - Hold the payment and confirm the change by calling the supplier on a previously verified number.
Domain 12: Business Partner and Payment Terms (≤10%)
Question 10
Company code 1710 will start invoicing a customer already maintained in company code 1010 under role FLCU00. The customer ID must be retained. The new company code needs its own receivables reconciliation account and payment terms; the 1010 settings must remain effective there. Select the appropriate business partner extension.
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: C - Extend the FI-customer role FLCU00 to 1710 and maintain its company-code data.
