The SAP® C_ARSCC certification confirms that you can implement and administer SAP Business Network Supply Chain Collaboration as a mentored member of a project team, not merely describe it. It spans the collaboration modules end to end — purchase order collaboration, returns, scheduling agreements, consignment, subcontracting and multi-tier orders, stock transport order collaboration, planning, quality, and supplier-managed inventory — together with the core and module-specific configuration and administration that ties buyer and supplier processes across the network. Because it is delivered as a Scenario-Based Assessment, the exam rewards applied judgment: you interpret a realistic supply-chain situation and choose the correct collaboration setup and process steps rather than answering isolated recall questions. It is written for the consultant profile at an entry-level, project-participation depth on SAP Business Network for Procurement and for Supply Chain.
The blueprint areas to focus your preparation on.
Understanding what SAP Business Network Supply Chain Collaboration is, why complex supply chains need it, and how the solution package and its architecture are structured — the conceptual base that every collaboration module builds on.
Following the purchase-order collaboration process flow from purchase order through order confirmation, advance ship notice, goods receipt, and invoice across the buyer system and the network, including complex PO scenarios and using the Supply Chain Monitor to track exceptions.
Processing returns purchase orders, outbound deliveries, goods issues, return ship notices, and credit memos; running scheduling agreements with and without releases and their delivery schedules; and handling consignment purchase orders, transfer postings, and settlement invoices between buyer and supplier.
Working through subcontracting, multi-tier, and combined subcontracting-with-multi-tier processes, plus stock transport order collaboration across the CM-to-OEM, OEM-to-CM, and CM-to-CM scenarios that link contract manufacturers and original equipment manufacturers.
Executing planning collaboration with IBP or ERP as the source and using manufacturing visibility; running quality notification, inspection, and review collaboration; and operating supplier-managed inventory through planned shipments and replenishment orders with the Supply Chain Monitor.
Performing common configuration of the buyer account and the Cloud Integration Gateway, then setting up transaction rules, message output controls, event linkages, business add-ins, and reports for each collaboration module so buyer and supplier systems exchange documents correctly.
