SAP Certified Associate C_BCSPM_2502 SAP Study Notes

The document outlines the challenges that prompt organizations to implement SAP Fieldglass:

"The two main challenges that often prompt organizations to implement SAP Fieldglass are:

A. Time-consuming onboarding

Many companies struggle with manual, fragmented onboarding processes for external workers—resulting in delays, compliance risks, and inefficient access management. SAP Fieldglass automates onboarding and offboarding, including tasks like background checks, system access, and asset retrieval, significantly speeding up the process and reducing risk.

C. Fragmented labor management

Organizations often manage contingent workforce, services, and non-payroll labor across multiple siloed tools, resulting in poor visibility and control. SAP Fieldglass centralizes this with unified procurement of external talent, centralized time sheets and invoices, real-time analytics, and compliance management."

Why the other options are incorrect:

B. Workforce payments:"While Fieldglass handles invoice/payment workflows for external labor, this isn’t typically a pain point driving adoption (the challenge is more about visibility and control)."

D. Data privacy regulation issues:"Although compliance is supported, it’s not the primary trigger; organizations often look to Fieldglass for managing workforce complexity, not as a standalone data privacy solution."

The document summarizes, "Implementations are frequently motivated by difficulties in: A: Accelerating and automating onboarding, C: Resolving fragmented labor management and improving visibility/compliance. Thus, the correct answers are A and C."

The document explains the purpose of discovery questions in initial customer discussions:

"Based on guidance from learning.sap.com, the primary purpose of discovery questions in initial customer discussions is:

B. To gain insights and tailor your discussion more effectively.

Why B is correct:

Discovery questions are designed to uncover the prospect’s needs, priorities, pain points, and objectives. This enables you to adapt your conversation, value proposition, and solution recommendations to align directly with their specific context—making the interaction more relevant and effective. The objective is to build a mutual understanding and frame your solution as the right fit—much like SAP’s approach in using qualification and discovery questions to assess working capital strategies or business value during customer engagement."

Why the other options are incorrect:

A. To demonstrate unique features:"That’s more of a late-stage activity. Discovery is about understanding first, not selling features."

C. To negotiate pricing and terms:"Negotiations come after alignment; the initial phase focuses on learning and understanding."

D. To expedite closing deals faster:"While effective discovery can speed up the process, the goal is not urgent closure but building the right foundation through tailored understanding."

The document concludes, "Discovery questions are essential for uncovering customer-specific needs so that you can deliver a more insightful, customized, and impactful conversation—making B the best and correct answer."

The document identifies the primary benefit of integrating Concur Expense and Concur Travel as:

" C. It enhances overall business performance through improved efficiency and transparency.

Why C is correct:

Unified visibility and compliance:A single platform consolidates travel, expense, and invoice data—enabling real-time visibility into spending, enforcing policies, and strengthening controls.

Improved efficiency:Automation reduces manual processes (e.g., separate receipts, booking logs), accelerates approvals, and cuts down on administrative delays.

Enhanced analytics and decision-making:With both travel and expense data combined, dashboards and analytics provide deeper insights, enabling smarter spend management and strategic forecast planning."

Why the other options are incorrect:

A. Advanced forecasting analytics:"While analytics exist, the primary benefit centers on improved efficiency and transparency, not forecasting alone."

B. Reduce travel budget:"The platform enables smarter spend, but it’s not solely focused on reducing budgets."

D. Simplify tracking employee performance:"Expense management is a function, but the key advantage lies in overall operational efficiency and transparency, not performance tracking."

The document concludes, "Integrating Concur Travel and Expense delivers a streamlined, transparent, and efficient end-to-end travel-to-reimbursement experience, empowering organizations to better manage spend and compliance. That makes C the clear correct choice."

The document details the benefits of the SAP Fieldglass Analytics Add-on:

"Based on official documentation, here are the 3 key benefits of the SAP Fieldglass Analytics Add-on:

A. Interactive dashboards

Pre-built Stories/Dashboards with charts, filters, drill-downs, and export options empower users to explore workforce data visually and interactively, all within the Fieldglass interface.

B. Access to real-time data

Dashboards provide live data updates, giving users a real-time view into external workforce metrics—such as time sheets, spend, onboarding status—which supports immediate and informed decision-making.

E. Benchmarking KPIs

The add-on includes benchmarking features, enabling organizations to compare their key performance indicators with anonymized, aggregated data from the SAP Fieldglass network—revealing how they stack up against industry peers."

Why the other options are incorrect:

C. Replaces the need for standard reporting:"The add-on complements and enriches standard reporting; it does not eliminate it."

D. Automates report creation:"While dashboards support export and sharing, their main strength lies in visualization and exploration, not replacing reporting with automated report generation."

The document summarizes, "The SAP Fieldglass Analytics Add-on empowers organizations with: Therefore, the correct answers are A, B, and E."
