Which of the following objects must be unique across all subscription contract items in SAP S/4HANA Service: SOM?

Question

Options

• ATechnical resource
• BContract account
• CBusiness partner
• DProduct ID

• A
  9% (3)
• B
  3% (1)
• C
  84% (27)
• D
  3% (1)

Explanation

Business Partner is correct because in SAP S/4HANA Service: SOM, a subscription contract is inherently tied to a single customer entity - all contract items must belong to the same Business Partner. This enforces contractual integrity, ensuring every line item within the contract traces back to one uniquely identified counterparty.

Why the distractors are wrong:

• A (Technical Resource): Technical resources are assignment objects linked to individual items; multiple items can reference the same or different technical resources - no uniqueness constraint applies system-wide.
• B (Contract Account): A Contract Account is a financial grouping object in FI-CA that can span multiple business partners and contracts, so it does not carry a uniqueness requirement at the contract item level.
• D (Product ID): The same product can appear on multiple contract items (e.g., multiple subscriptions to the same service), so Product ID is not required to be unique.

Memory tip: Think of a subscription contract like a lease agreement - it must have exactly one tenant (Business Partner). Everything else on the contract (products, accounts, resources) can vary or repeat, but there can only be one named party signing the deal.
