 A maintenance request within the phase-based process differs from a maintenance notification in the standard process in that it contains an additional screening phase where requests can be acceptedor rejected. In the standard process, a maintenance notification is created and processed without any screening. In the phase-based process, a maintenance request is created and submitted for screening. The screening phase allows the supervisor to review the request and decide whether to accept it or reject it. If the request is accepted, it becomes a maintenance notification and moves to the planning phase. If the request is rejected, it is closed and no further action is taken1.

The other options are incorrect because:

A maintenance request does not always use the risk-based assessment for prioritization. It can also use a predefined priority list2.

A maintenance request is not a new business object with no connection to a maintenance notification. It is a maintenance notification that is in the initiation or screening phase3.

It is not mandatory to assign a task list to the maintenance request. A task list can be assigned to the maintenance order in the planning phase4.

Serializing a piece of equipment means assigning a unique serial number to identify and track the equipment throughout its lifecycle. The prerequisites for serializing a piece of equipment are:

Assign a serial number profile to the equipment category. This defines the rules for creating and managing serial numbers for the equipment, such as the number range, the check digit, and the serial number usage. The serial number profile is assigned in the Customizing activity Define Equipment Categories under Plant Maintenance and Customer Service -> Master Data in Plant Maintenance and Customer Service -> Technical Objects -> Equipment -> Equipment Categories.

Assign a serial number profile to the related material master. This ensures that the material and the equipment have the same serial number profile and that the serial number is automatically copied from the material to the equipment. The serial number profile is assigned in the material master data in the Plant Data/Stor. 1 view under Serial Number Profile.

Maintain a serial number for an existing equipment master. This can be done either manually or automatically. Manually, you can enter the serial number in the equipment master data in the Serial Data view under Serial Number. Automatically, you can link the equipment with a serialized material and the serial number will be copied from the material to the equipment. This linking can be done either with a goods movement or manually.

The options that are not prerequisites for serializing a piece of equipment are:

Add a serialized material to the equipment serial data view. This is not a prerequisite, but rather a possible way to link the equipment with a serialized material and copy the serial number from the material to the equipment. However, this can only be done if the serial number profile is already assigned to both the equipment category and the material master.

Assign a serial number profile to an additional business view for equipment category. This is not a valid option, as the serial number profile is assigned to the equipment category itself, not to any additional business view.

 Strategic analysis is a type of analysis that provides a high-level overview of the business performance and trends, as well as the ability to drill down into the details and perform root cause analysis. Strategic analysis is typically performed by business analysts or managers who need to make strategic decisions based on the data. Strategic analysis requires a collection of tools that are not included with core SAP S/4HANA, such as SAP Analytics Cloud, SAP Business Planning and Consolidation, SAP Business Warehouse, and SAP Business Objects Business Intelligence. These tools enable the integration, transformation, modeling, and visualization of data from various sources, including SAP S/4HANA and other systems. Embedded analysis, on the other hand, is a type of analysis that provides real-time insights into the operational data within the SAP S/4HANA core system. Embedded analysis is typically performed by end users or operational managers who need to monitor and optimize the business processes and transactions. Embedded analysis relies on preconfigured Core Data Services (CDS) views that contain SQL views of the data in SAP S/4HANA. These views can be accessed by SAP Fiori apps, SAP Smart Business KPIs, or SAP Analysis for Microsoft Office. SAP Business Objects is not a part of SAP Business Warehouse, but a separate product that can connect to SAP Business Warehouse or other data sources. Therefore, option C is incorrect. References:

 This is required to define the inspection scope and the checklist type for the technical object. The inspection plan must be classified with the same class as the technical object and have matching characteristic values1.

Classification data assigned to a technical object: This is required to identify the relevant inspection plan and checklist type for the technical object. The technical object must be classified with the same class as the inspection plan and have matching characteristic values1.

The other options are not correct because:

Inspection point type assigned to the task list header: This is not a prerequisite for inspection checklist processing, but an optional setting that allows the user to define inspection points for the checklist items2.

Master inspection characteristics assigned to PM task list operations: This is not a prerequisite for inspection checklist processing, but an optional setting that allows the user to use master inspection characteristics as checklist items2.

When implementing UI technologies in SAP S/4HANA Asset Management, you have to consider the following points:

Web Dynpro apps can be used in the SAP Fiori Launchpad. This is true because Web Dynpro is one of the UI technologies that are supported by the SAP Fiori Launchpad, along with SAP Fiori apps, SAP GUI for HTML, and WebClient UI12.

SAP Fiori Launchpad supports only SAPUI5 apps. This is false because SAP Fiori Launchpad supports not only SAPUI5 apps, but also other UI technologies such as WebDynpro, SAP GUI for HTML, and WebClient UI12.

SAP GUI for HTML can be used in the SAP Fiori Launchpad. This is true because SAP GUI for HTML is one of the UI technologies that are supported by the SAP Fiori Launchpad, along with SAP Fiori apps, Web Dynpro, and WebClient UI12.

The cloud version can also use SAP GUI for Windows. This is false because SAP GUI for Windows is only available for the on-premise version of SAP S/4HANA Asset Management, not for the cloud version31.

The Resource Scheduling for Maintenance Planners app allows you to monitor important KPIs for your work centers, such as utilization, priority of due maintenance orders, and unconfirmed maintenance orders. You can also use filters to show the information that you are interested in. By clicking a card, you can access the Manage Work Center Utilization app, where you can dispatch maintenance order operations to your work centers. You cannot schedule and dispatch maintenance operations by shifts or print job papers from a maintenance order in this app. These functions are available in other apps, such as the Maintenance Scheduling Board app and the Print Job Papers app. References: Resource Scheduling for Maintenance Planners | SAP Help Portal and Resource Scheduling for Maintenance Planners | SAP Blogs

 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.

A. An Inspection Plan and a technical object must be assigned to the same class. This is true because the inspection plan and the technical object must have matching classification characteristics for the inspection checklist generation. The class defines the characteristics that are relevant for the inspection plan and the technical object1.

B. A PM task list with inspection point type must be assigned to the maintenance order. This is false because the inspection checklist generation does not depend on the PM task list. The inspection checklist is based on the QM inspection plan, which is a different type of task list2.

C. An object list must have been generated manually or automatically. This is true because the object list contains the technical objects that will be checked for matching inspection plans. The object list can be generated from the header object of the order, and objects from the maintenance plan item3.

D. A checklist type must be assigned to the maintenance order header. This is false because the checklist type must be assigned to the maintenance order operation, not the header. The checklist type defines the inspection lot origin and the inspection type for the inspection checklist4. References: 1: Explaining Inspection Checklists 2: Inspection Lot 3: Object List and Inspection Checklist 4: Checklist Type in Task List Operation

To have several plan dates calculated in a maintenance plan, you use the scheduling period parameter. The scheduling period defines the time interval for which the system calculates the planned dates for the maintenance plan. For example, if you enter 12 months as the scheduling period, the system calculates the planned dates for the next 12 months from the current date. You can also specify the end date for scheduling, which is the last date for which the system calculates the planned dates. The scheduling indicator determines how the system calculates the planned dates based on the cycle, the shift factor, and the tolerance. The call horizon defines the percentage of the cycle that must be expired before the system generates a call object (such as a maintenance order or notification) for the planned date.

A maintenance order with status REL means that the order is released and ready for execution. At this stage, the following characteristics apply:

A. Goods receipts for external services can be entered. This is true because external services are procured through purchase orders that are linked to the maintenance order. The service performer can post service entry sheets to record the executed work andconsumable materials. These service entry sheets can be approved and posted as goods receipts for external services1.

B. The planner can change planned costs at the operation level. This is false because once the order is released, the planned costs are frozen and cannot be changed by the planner. The planner can only change the estimated costs at the header level2.

C. The planner can change estimated costs only at the header level. This is true, but it is not a characteristic of a released order. The planner can change the estimated costs at any time, even before the order is released2.

D. The controller can determine actual cost surcharges. This is true because the controller can use the business function LOG_EAM_CI_7 to calculate and post actual cost surcharges for maintenance orders. This function can be used for orders with status REL or TECO3.

E. The assignment of the notification to the maintenance order header cannot be deleted. This is true because the notification is the source document for the maintenance order and provides the reason for the order. The notification can only be deleted if the order is deleted or set to status CRTD. References: 1: Lean and Limit Value Services in Maintenance Order 2: Maintenance Order Cost Analysis 3: Actual Cost Surcharges for Maintenance Orders : Notification Assignment to Maintenance Order

A cross-plant planning scenario is a special planning process that allows you to carry out material requirements planning for various plants centrally. This facilitates the production of a product in another plant and it also guarantees a smooth flow of materials between different plants. In a cross-plant planning scenario, you can assign multiple maintenance plants to a planning plant (n: 1) or multiple planning plants to a maintenance plant (m: 1). This means that you can plan and execute maintenance orders in different plants using a common planning plant or a common maintenance plant. There is no limit on the number of maintenance plants that can be assigned to a planning plant, so answer B is incorrect. A cross-plant planning scenario is also possible across different company codes, as long as the plants belong to the same controlling area. Therefore, answer D is also incorrect. References: Cross-Plant Planning | SAP Help Portal and SAP S/4HANA Asset Management: Plants from a Maintenance … - SAP PRESS

The Technical Object Breakdowns and Technical Object Damages app use SAP Lumira Designer to display data in a user-friendly and interactive way. SAP Lumira Designer is a tool that allows you to create analytical applications and dashboards based on SAP S/4HANA Core Data Services (CDS) views. SAP Asset Strategy and Performance Management and SAP Predictive Analysis are not components used to display data in this app, but they are other solutions that can help you optimize your asset management strategy and performance.

You can see the results of the material availability check for maintenance orders in two places: within a maintenance order and in the list editing (single-level) for maintenance orders.

Within a maintenance order, you can see the material availability status for each component in the Components tab. The status can be one of the following: Available, Not Available, Partially Available, or Not Checked. You can also see the availability date, which is the date on which the component can be fully available. You can access the maintenance order from the Manage Maintenance Orders app or the Change Maintenance Order app1.

In the list editing (single-level) for maintenance orders, you can see the material availability status for each order in the Material Availability column. The status can be one of the following: Available, Not Available, Partially Available, or Not Checked. You can also see the availability date, which is the date on which all the components for the order can be fully available. You can access the list editing from the List Editing (Single-Level) for Maintenance Orders app2.

 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.

Changing the primary key of a functional location means changing the label of the functional location. The label is the unique identifier of the functional location and it consists of a structure indicator and a functional location identification. The structure indicator defines the allowed characters and the hierarchy levels of the functional location structure. The functional location identification is the actual name of the functional location. When youchange the primary key of a functional location, you can either change the structure indicator or the functional location identification, or both. If you change the structure indicator, you need to adjust the functional location identification accordingly. If you change the functional location identification, you need to decide whether the functional location is assigned to a new superior functional location or not. A superior functional location is the functional location that is directly above the current functional location in the hierarchy. For example, if you have a functional location FL-01-02-03, where FL is the structure indicator, 01 is the first level, 02 is the second level, and 03 is the third level, you can change the primary key to FL-01-02-04, which means changing the functional location identification within the same level. In this case, you need to decide whether the functional location is still assigned to FL-01-02 as the superior functional location or not. Alternatively, you can change the primary key to FL-01-03, which means changing the functional location identification to a different level. In this case, you need to decide whether the functional location is still assigned to FL-01 as the superior functional location or not.

The user does not need to define a new labelling system for the new primary key, as the labelling system is defined by the structure indicator, which can be reused for different functional locations. Therefore, answer A is incorrect. The functional location can be assigned to a new superior functional location when the new label is entered, as long as the new label is consistent with the structure indicator and the hierarchy rules. Therefore, answer B is also incorrect. Changing the superior functional location via alternative labeling is possible, as alternative labeling allows you to assign different labels to the same functional location. Therefore, answer C is also incorrect. References: Explaining Technical Asset Structures - SAP Learning, Organizational Elements and Structures | SAP Help Portal, and SAP Alternative Labeling of Functional Locations.

A SAP Fiori tile group is a subset of apps from one or more catalogs that are displayed on the user’s entry page of the SAP Fiori launchpad1. A tile group has the following characteristics:

It is based on an SAP Fiori tile catalog. A catalog is a logical group of apps or tiles that defines the set of all tiles that users can use to personalize the home page2. A group can contain apps from different catalogs, depending on the user’s role and authorization1.

It can be assigned directly to the user via personalization. The user can personalize the entry page by adding or removing apps to pre-delivered groups or self-defined groups2. The user can also reorder the groups and tiles according to their preference1.

It does not provide only HTML5-based apps. A tile group can contain apps that are based on different technologies, such as SAPUI5, Web Dynpro ABAP, or SAP GUI transactions1.

It is not assigned via a portal role. A tile group is assigned to the user’s role via the SAP Role Maintenance transaction PFCG2. A portal role is a different concept that is used in the SAP Enterprise Portal to define the access rights and content for portal users.

After a maintenance order is technically completed, the responsible person can perform the following operations1:

Lock or unlock the order: This prevents or allows further changes to the order data, such as actual costs, settlement rule, or confirmation data.

Change the settlement rule: This allows the responsible person to adjust the distribution of costs to the relevant receivers, such as cost centers, assets, or orders.

Post goods movements: This allows the responsible person to record the consumption or return of materials that were used for the maintenance work.

Enter measurement documents: This allows the responsible person to record the measurement readings of the technical objects that were maintained.

The responsible person cannot perform the following operations after a maintenance order is technically completed1:

Update the estimated costs: This is only possible before the order is released or during the execution phase.

Change the planned costs: This is only possible before the order is released or during the execution phase.

Change the order type: This is only possible before the order is released.

Change the order status: This is only possible before the order is technically completed or after it is reversed.

Therefore, the correct answers are A and C. References: 1: Maintenance Order Types | SAP Help Portal

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 personnel number is a unique identifier for an employee in the SAP system. A personnel number can be directly assigned to the following objects:

C. Work center. A work center is a location where maintenance activities are performed. A work center can have one or more personnel numbers assigned to it, which represent the employees who work at that location. The personnel numbers can be used for capacity planning, scheduling, and confirmation of maintenance orders1.

D. Business partner. A business partner is a person or an organization that has a business relationship with the company. A business partner can have one or more roles, such as customer, vendor, or contact person. A personnel number can be assigned to a business partner role, which allows the system to identify the employee who is responsible for the business partner or who acts as a contact person for the business partner2.

A personnel number cannot be directly assigned to the following objects:

A. Planner group. A planner group is a group of employees who are responsible for planning and processing maintenance orders. A planner group is assigned to a maintenance order header, but not to a personnel number. A planner group can have one or more work centers assigned to it, which in turn can have personnel numbers assigned to them3.

B. Maintenance plan. A maintenance plan is a document that defines the frequency and scope of preventive maintenance activities for technical objects. A maintenance plan is assigned to a maintenance item, which contains the technical object and the task list for the maintenance activities. A maintenance plan does not have a direct assignment to a personnel number, but it can have a planner group assigned to it, which can have work centers and personnel numbers assigned to it. References: 1: Work Center 2: Business Partner 3: Planner Group : [Maintenance Plan]

SAPUI5 apps are web applications that use the SAPUI5 framework to create user interfaces for SAP business applications. SAPUI5 apps can be integrated into the SAP Fiori Launchpad, which is a shell that hosts SAP Fiori apps and provides them with services such as navigation, personalization, embedded support, and application configuration1.

To implement SAPUI5 apps in the SAP Fiori Launchpad, two mandatory elements are catalogs and tile groups.

Catalogs are collections of tiles and target mappings that define the SAPUI5 apps that can be launched from the SAP Fiori Launchpad. Tiles are the entry points to the SAPUI5 apps, and target mappings define the semantic objects and actions that are used to navigate to the SAPUI5 apps. Catalogs are created and maintained by administrators in the SAP Fiori Launchpad Designer.

Tile groups are collections of tiles that are displayed on the SAP Fiori Launchpad home page. Tile groups are created and maintained by end users or administrators in the SAP Fiori Launchpad. Tile groups allow users to organize and access the SAPUI5 apps that are relevant for their roles and tasks.

The other options are incorrect because:

Web Dynpro Apps are web applications that use the Web Dynpro framework to create user interfaces for SAP business applications. Web Dynpro Apps are not SAPUI5 apps, and they require a different integration approach to be launched from the SAP Fiori Launchpad.

Transactions are executable programs in the SAP system that perform specific businessfunctions, such as creating a sales order or posting a goods receipt. Transactions are not SAPUI5 apps, and they require a different integration approach to be launched from the SAP Fiori Launchpad.
