Step 1 – Understanding the question
This question asks how animplementation consultantshould customizeSAP Best Practices business processesin SAP S/4HANA Cloud, Private Edition.
SAP Best Practices are pre-delivered standard processes that provide ready-to-run configurations.
To maintain aclean core, SAP discourages editing the original process directly.
Step 2 – Evaluate each option
Option A:Make a copy of the original process and edit the copy
This is correct.
The correct approach is tocopy the original Best Practice processinto a customer workspace (for example, within SAP Signavio or SAP Solution Manager) and make necessary adjustments there.
This preserves the original SAP content and ensures that future updates or upgrades remain compatible.
Example 1:
A company copies the “Standard Order-to-Cash” process, modifies one approval step, and saves it as a new variant under its own namespace.
Example 2:
A finance consultant copies the “Journal Entry Posting” process to adjust document approval rules without touching the original Best Practice template.
Option B:Use SAP Cloud ALM to edit the process
This is incorrect.
SAP Cloud ALM is used tomanage and monitor project tasks and test execution, not to directly edit Best Practice process content.
Option C:Use SAP Signavio Process Manager to edit the process
This is partially true in concept butnot correct in this question’s context.
While SAP Signavio can model and document processes,editing SAP Best Practice processes directlyin Signavio is not the recommended or typical customization method for implementation consultants.
Option D:Make edits to the original process
This is incorrect.
Editing the original Best Practice process would violate clean-core principles and risk losing SAP-provided updates.
