SAP Financial Accounting (SAP FI) Certified Application Associate Practice Exam

In which step of the SAP Financial Closing Cockpit configuration do you define parameter settings for variables of program variants?

1. Task list release

2. Task list creation

3. Template creation

4. Dependency definition

The correct answer is: Task list creation

The step where you define parameter settings for variables of program variants is during the task list creation phase. In this phase, you establish the structure and components of the task list, which includes assigning specific tasks, scheduling them, and defining how they will execute. This is also the stage where you create and configure the different program variants necessary for execution. When you create a task list, you have the opportunity to define which variants of reports or programs are to be used, and you can tailor the parameter settings associated with those variants. These settings are crucial as they control how the program runs and what data it processes, ensuring that the financial closing process is accurate and aligned with the organization's requirements. The other options relate to different aspects of the configuration process. For example, during task list release, the finalized task list is made available for execution, while template creation involves designing a standard set of tasks that can be reused. Dependency definition focuses on establishing relationships and execution order among tasks, which is also important but does not specifically involve defining parameter settings for program variants.
