Which of the following steps are performed automatically by SAP S/4HANA Service: SOM Order Distribution Infrastructure? Note: There are 2 correct answers to this question.

Question

Options

• ADistribution of subscription contract
• BDistribution of charge plan
• CActivation of services
• DActivation of subscription order

• A
  90% (44)
• B
  6% (3)
• D
  4% (2)

Explanation

SAP S/4HANA's SOM Order Distribution Infrastructure automates the distribution of subscription contracts (A) - pushing the contract downstream to relevant systems - and the activation of services (C), which triggers the provisioning/fulfillment of the subscribed services without manual intervention. These two steps represent the core automated handoff between order management and service execution.

Why B is wrong: The charge plan is not distributed automatically by this infrastructure; it is configured and assigned during the contract setup phase, not pushed as part of order distribution.

Why D is wrong: The subscription order itself is not what gets activated automatically - rather, it drives the creation of the subscription contract, which is then distributed. Confusing the order with the contract is the key trap here.

Memory tip: Think "Contract goes out, Services come on" - the infrastructure pushes out the contract and turns on the services. The order is the input; the contract and services are the automated outputs.
