 When planning maintenance work that is to be carried out by an external company, you have to consider the following aspects:

If you assign a control key with indicator “Service” for an external service, you have to enter the actual values via the service entry sheet. This is because the service entry sheet is used to record the services performed by the external company and to verify the invoice. The service entry sheet is linked to the purchase order and the maintenance order operation.

For the maintenance order type, you have to assign the Enhanced Procurement Mode. This is because the Enhanced Procurement Mode enables you to use lean services and enhanced limits for external services. Lean services are intended for the procurement of small or highly specialized services that are carried out by external suppliers as part of an internal or external operation. They can be maintained in the material master as service products. Enhanced limits allow you to define a maximum amount for the external service without specifying the service specifications in advance.

If you assign a control key for an external order operation, the actual values must always be entered as a goods receipt in the system. This is not true, because the goods receipt is only required for external materials, not for external services. For external services, the service entry sheet is used instead.

In the control key assigned to the order operation, the “Service” indicator must always be activated. This is not true, because the “Service” indicator is only required for external services, not for external operations. For external operations, the “External Processing” indicator must be activated instead. References: External Services Management (MM-SRV) | SAP Help Portal, Highlights for Asset Management in SAP S/4HANA 2021 | SAP Blogs.

Orders with Operation Account Assignment (OAA) are a special type of PM/CS orders that allow the detailed planning, capture and reporting of costs at the order operation level. The operations have their own settlement rules enabling more accurate cost updating of multiple assets maintained using a single PM/CS order. The mandatory characteristics of OAA orders are:

A technical object must be assigned to an order operation. This ensures that the operation is linked to a specific asset and can be settled accordingly. The technical object can be an equipment, a functional location, or a material.

Costs are stored only for the operation object. This means that the order header does not have any costs associated with it. The costs are allocated to the operations based on the actual postings of goods movements, confirmations, and invoices.

Purchase requisitions have the operation as account assignment. This means that the purchase requisitions created from the order components are assigned to the operation instead of the order header. This allows the tracking of costs at the operation level.

The characteristics that are not mandatory for OAA orders are:

Overall costs are dynamically summed up on the header level. This is an optional feature that can be activated by using the business function LOG_EAM_SIMPLICITY_2. This allows the display of the total costs of the order operations on the order header level.

The settlement rule is maintained on the header level. This is not a characteristic of OAA orders, but rather a limitation. The settlement rule for OAA orders can only be maintained on the operation level, not on the header level. This means that each operation has its own settlement rule and can be settled to different receivers.

 A Maintenance Service Plan is a type of Maintenance Plan that is used to schedule periodic services for external customers. When a Maintenance Service Plan is scheduled, a Maintenance Service Call is generated, which contains a Customer Service Order Header and a Maintenance Order. The Maintenance Order is linked to a Service Order Item, which represents the serviceable material or asset. The Maintenance Order contains the technical details of the service, such as operations, components, and confirmations. The Service Order Item contains the commercial details of the service, such as pricing, billing, and credit check. The Maintenance Order and the Service Order Item are integrated through the Dynamic Item Processor (DIP), which transfers the costs and revenues between them. References: Maintenance Service Plan and Maintenance Service Order in SAP Help Portal.
