SAP's official learning journey and academy training — Follow the relevant SAP Learning Journey and review the TS450 and TS452 Academy courses. SAP describes TS450 and TS452 as the two parts of its S/4HANA Sourcing and Procurement Academy, which concludes with the C_TS452 certification.
Applied, scenario-oriented practice — Prepare for applied and scenario-oriented questions in addition to conceptual knowledge. Candidates should check the assessment description in SAP Learning for the exact format currently assigned to this certification.
Targeted review of integration points — Invoice Verification and Valuation/Account Assignment trip up candidates most often, since both require understanding how MM integrates with Financial Accounting rather than functioning as a standalone module.

A) Automatic Invoice Blocking
B) Consumption-Based Planning
C) Source List Maintenance
