What the Certification Validates The SAP Certified Application Associate certification in S/4HANA Sourcing and Procurement, assessed through the C_TS452_2601 exam, confirms that a candidate has core knowledge and practical skills in sourcing and procurement. It also validates the ability to work as part of an implementation project team, usually in a mentored capacity during planning and rollout phases. Exam Format and Key Topics Structure and Scoring Recent versions of this exam track have followed a structure of 80 questions over a 3-hour period, with a cut score around 63%. Where the Weight Falls Topics like SAP S/4HANA User Experience, Procurement Processes, and Inventory Management tend to carry the heaviest weighting, while smaller areas such as Invoice Verification and Configuration of Purchasing add up to a meaningful portion of the test when combined. How to Prepare Effectively The strongest preparation approach blends formal training, hands-on system experience, and realistic timed practice — passive reading alone rarely covers the scenario-based questions this exam favors. Candidates should also avoid outdated material tied to older exam codes, since SAP updates content regularly.
