Question #3
You settle a refurbishment order with the batches (valuation types) having price control standard price.
What is the effect? Note. There are 2 correct answers to this question.
- A . The effective costs are posted as a credit memo to a price difference account
- B . The effective costs are posted to the respective batch (valuation type).
- C . The goods receipt for the batch refurbished is posted with the value of the standard price.
- D . The goods receipt for the batch refurbished is posted with the value of the moving average price
Correct Answer: A C
A C
Explanation:
When you settle a refurbishment order with the batches (valuation types) having price control standard price, the following effects occur:
The effective costs are posted as a credit memo to a price difference account. This means that the difference between the actual costs of the refurbishment and the standard price of the batch is recorded as a variance in the accounting document. This ensures that the inventory value of the batch is not affected by the refurbishment costs1
The goods receipt for the batch refurbished is posted with the value of the standard price. This means that the inventory value of the batch is updated with the predefined price that is maintained
in the material master. This ensures that the inventory value of the batch is consistent and stable1
The other options are incorrect because:
The effective costs are not posted to the respective batch (valuation type). The batch valuation is based on the standard price, not the actual costs of the refurbishment1
The goods receipt for the batch refurbished is not posted with the value of the moving average price. The moving average price is only used for batches with price control moving average price, not standard price1

- A . Confirm time sheets
• Attach documents - B . Schedule resources
• Change task list - C . Display maps
• Display and maintain technical objects - D . Change BOM
• Create a work order on the ESRI map
Correct Answer: A C
A C
Explanation:
The SAP Service and Asset Manager application enables maintenance workers to perform various
tasks related to asset management, such as:
Confirm time sheets: Maintenance workers can record the time spent on work orders and operations, and submit them for approval. They can also view the status of their time confirmations and edit or delete them if needed. This functionality helps to track the labor costs and efficiency of the maintenance work1.
Attach documents: Maintenance workers can attach documents, such as photos, videos, audio files, or PDFs, to work orders, notifications, or equipment. This functionality helps to provide additional information or evidence for the maintenance work2.
Display maps: Maintenance workers can view the location of assets, work orders, or notifications on a map. They can also use the map to navigate to the destination, filter the map items, or switch between different map layers. This functionality helps to improve the spatial awareness and planning of the maintenance work3.
Display and maintain technical objects: Maintenance workers can view the details of technical objects, such as equipment, functional locations, or linear assets, and perform actions on them, such as creating notifications, work orders, or measurements. They can also edit the technical object data, such as the status, serial number, or manufacturer. This functionality helps to manage the lifecycle and performance of the assets.
The functionalities that are not available in the SAP Service and Asset Manager application for a maintenance worker are:
Schedule resources: This functionality is available in the SAP S/4HANA Asset Management application, which is a web-based application that supports the planning and scheduling of maintenance work. Maintenance planners and schedulers can use this application to assign resources, such as technicians, tools, or materials, to work orders and operations, and optimize the resource utilization and availability.
Change task list: This functionality is also available in the SAP S/4HANA Asset Management application, which allows maintenance planners and engineers to create and modify task lists, such as general task lists, equipment task lists, or functional location task lists. Task lists are used to define the sequence of operations and activities for recurring maintenance work.
Change BOM: This functionality is also available in the SAP S/4HANA Asset Management application, which allows maintenance engineers and technicians to create and change bills of materials (BOMs) for technical objects, such as equipment or functional locations. BOMs are used to list the components and materials that are required for the maintenance work.
Create a work order on the ESRI map: This functionality is not available in the SAP Service and Asset Manager application, which only supports viewing the existing work orders on the map. To create a work order on the map, the maintenance worker would need to use the SAP Work Manager application, which is another mobile application that integrates with the ESRI ArcGIS platform. The SAP Work Manager application allows the maintenance worker to create a work order by tapping on
a map location, and assign the work order to a technician or a crew.

Question #5
What are mandatory characteristics of orders with Operation Account Assignment (OAA)? Note: There are 3 correct answers to this question
- A . Overall costs are dynamically summed up on the header level.
- B . A technical object must be assigned to an order operation
- C . Costs are stored only for the operation object
- D . Purchase requisitions have the operation as account assignment.
- E . The settlement rule is maintained on the header level.
Correct Answer: B C D
B C D
Explanation:
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.

Question #6
What are the prerequisites for serializing a piece of equipment? Note: There are 3 correct answers to this question
- A . Add a serialized material to the equipment serial data view.
- B . Assign a serial number profile to an additional business view for equipment category
- C . Assign a serial number profile to the equipment category
- D . Assign a serial number profile to the related material master.
- E . Maintain a serial number for an existing equipment master.
Correct Answer: C D E
C D E
Explanation:
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.

Question #7
You want to set up a scenario for regular maintenance. The first event should take place after 1 year, after that, it is a regular cycle of 6 months.
Which parameter do you have to use to map this in the system?
- A . Package hierarchy
- B . Scheduling indicator
- C . Maintenance package offset
- D . Cycle modification factor
Correct Answer: C
C
Explanation:
To set up a scenario for regular maintenance, the first event should take place after 1 year, and after that, it is a regular cycle of 6 months, you have to use the maintenance package offset parameter to map this in the system. The maintenance package offset is used to define the time interval between the start of the maintenance plan and the first call date of the maintenance package1. A maintenance package is a set of data that defines the frequency and scope of the maintenance tasks2.
For example, if you want to create a maintenance plan with two maintenance packages, one for annual inspection and one for semi-annual inspection, you can use the following settings:
Maintenance package 1: Cycle length = 12 months, Offset = 0 months, Scheduling indicator = Time-based
Maintenance package 2: Cycle length = 6 months, Offset = 12 months, Scheduling indicator = Time-based
This means that the first maintenance package will be called at the start of the maintenance plan, and then every 12 months thereafter. The second maintenance package will be called after 12 months from the start of the maintenance plan, and then every 6 months thereafter.
The other parameters that are not relevant for this scenario are:
Package hierarchy: This is used to define the relationship between different maintenance packages within a maintenance plan. It allows you to create nested or parallel maintenance packages that are dependent on each other3.
Scheduling indicator: This is used to define the type of scheduling for the maintenance package, such
as time-based, performance-based, or condition-based4.
Cycle modification factor: This is used to modify the cycle length of the maintenance package by a certain percentage or factor5.

This helps the technician to gather information about the technical object and its condition1
The Report Malfunction app does not allow the maintenance technician to perform the following steps when reporting a malfunction of a technical object:
Select and print the maintenance order shop papers. The app does not provide the option to select and print the maintenance order shop papers. The technician can use a different app, such as “Manage Maintenance Orders”, to print the shop papers2
Input estimated costs for repair malfunction. The app does not provide the option to input estimated costs for repair malfunction. The technician can use a different app, such as “Manage Maintenance Orders”, to enter the planned costs for the maintenance order2

Question #11
Which of the following is a prerequisite for external refurbishment?
- A . Define the order type for external refurbishment.
- B . Select the material group for externally refurbished materials.
- C . Assign an external work center to a maintenance order operation
- D . Activate the subcontracting indicator in an external activity.
Correct Answer: D
D
Explanation:
External refurbishment is the process of sending defective or worn-out spare parts to an external vendor for repair or replacement. To carry out this process, you need to create a maintenance order with an external operation that has the subcontracting indicator activated. This indicator allows you to create a purchase requisition and a purchase order for the external service. The external operation also requires an external work center, a control key, and a material component with the valuation type of the defective part. The order type for external refurbishment is not a prerequisite, but a configuration option that can be used to differentiate the process from internal refurbishment. The material group for externally refurbished materials is not relevant for the process, as the material master data is not changed by the refurbishment. The assignment of an external work center to a maintenance order operation is necessary, but not sufficient, for external refurbishment. You also need to activate the subcontracting indicator in the external activity.

Question #12
What is characteristic for a maintenance order with status REL- if you also consider the capabilities of business functions? Note: There are 3 correct answers to this question.
- A . Goods receipts for external services can be entered.
- B . The planner can change planned costs at the operation level
- C . The planner can change estimated costs only at the header level
- D . The controller can determine actual cost surcharges.
- E . The assignment of the notification to the maintenance order header cannot be deleted.
Correct Answer: A D E
A D E
Explanation:
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 and consumable 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.

- A . Generate Inspection Lols within the checklists view.
- B . Link PM task list with assigned inspection point type to a maintenance item.
- C . Record the usage decision for an Inspection Lot
- D . Generate Inspection Lots assigned to maintenance order headers.
Correct Answer: A C
A C
Explanation:
The inspection checklist process is an end-to-end process from the creation of inspection plans to results recording and follow-up actions in Plant Maintenance.
The necessary steps of the inspection checklist process are:
Generate object lists for the maintenance order, which contain the technical objects to be inspected.
Generate inspection checklists for the maintenance order, which contain the inspection lots based on the inspection plans assigned to the technical objects.
Record the inspection results for the inspection characteristics in the inspection lots.
Record the usage decision for the inspection lots, which determines whether the technical objects are accepted or rejected.
Therefore, option A (Generate Inspection Lots within the checklists view) and option C (Record the usage decision for an Inspection Lot) are correct, while option B (Link PM task list with assigned inspection point type to a maintenance item) and option D (Generate Inspection Lots assigned to maintenance order headers) are not part of the inspection checklist process.

Question #14
Which objects can you assign to a Maintenance Service Order Item? Note: There are 2 correct answers to this question.
- A . Service Product
- B . DIP Profile
- C . Service Work Center
- D . Service Master Record
Correct Answer: A D
A D
Explanation:
A maintenance service order item can be assigned to a service product and a service master record. A service product is a material that represents a service that is offered or performed by the service provider. A service master record is a master data object that contains information about the service, such as description, unit of measure, price, and validity period. A service product and a service master record are linked by the service material number. A maintenance service order item can also be assigned to a service master record directly, without a service product. This is useful when the service is not part of the service provider’s catalog, but is requested by the customer on an ad-hoc basis. A DIP profile and a service work center are not objects that can be assigned to a maintenance service order item. A DIP profile is a configuration object that defines how the costs and revenues of a service order item are determined and transferred to billing. A service work center is a master data object that represents a person, a group of persons, or a technical resource that performs a service activity. A DIP profile and a service work center are assigned to the maintenance service order header, not to the item level.

Question #16
Which functions characterize a Strategic analysis as opposed to embedded analysis within the SAP S/4HANA core system? Note: There are 2 correct answers to this question
- A . Preconfigured Core Data Service (CDS) containing SQL views
- B . A collection of tools that are not included with core SAP S/4HANA
- C . SAP Business Objects as a part of SAP Business Warehouse (BW)
- D . SAP Business Objects Business Intelligence for Visualization
Correct Answer: B D
B D
Explanation:
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.

Question #17
Which requirements have to be fulfilled so that an Inspection Checklist with Inspection Lots is generated? Note: There are 2 correct answers to this question.
- A . An Inspection Plan and a technical object must be assigned to the same class.
- B . A PM task list with inspection point type must be assigned to the maintenance order
- C . An object list must have been generated manually or automatically.
- D . A checklist type must be assigned to the maintenance order header.
Correct Answer: A C
A C
Explanation:
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.

Question #18
How does the work center influence cost calculation in the maintenance order? Note: There are 2 correct answers to this question
- A . Via cost center assigned to a personnel number
- B . Via cost center and activity type
- C . Via organizational unit and personal hourly rate
- D . Via activity type and hourly rate
Correct Answer: B D
B D
Explanation:
The work center influences cost calculation in the maintenance order via the cost center and activity type, and via the activity type and hourly rate. The cost center and activity type are assigned to the work center in the master data, and they determine the planned costs of the work center. The activity type and hourly rate are used to calculate the actual costs of the work center based on the actual hours reported for the maintenance order operations.
Option A (Via cost center assigned to a personnel number) is incorrect, because the cost center assigned to a personnel number is not relevant for the cost calculation of the work center. Option C (Via organizational unit and personal hourly rate) is also incorrect, because the organizational unit and personal hourly rate are not used to calculate the costs of the work center.

Question #21
The maintenance engineer creates a strategy plan with the call object maintenance order. Shift factors are set to 100% which date is relevant for the calculation of future planned dates if the maintenance work is delayed?
- A . Planned date of the next call, independent of maintenance order dates
- B . Actual finish date of the maintenance order
- C . The date of the final confirmation
- D . Technical completion date of the maintenance order
Correct Answer: B
B
Explanation:
A strategy plan is a type of maintenance plan that defines different maintenance packages with different intervals for the same technical object. The system calculates the due dates for the maintenance packages based on the maintenance strategy assigned to the plan. The maintenance strategy contains the cycles and the shift factors for each package. The shift factors determine how the system shifts the planned dates of the next maintenance call when the maintenance work is delayed or performed earlier than planned. If the shift factor is 100%, the system shifts the planned date by the same number of days as the delay or the advance. If the shift factor is 0%, the system does not shift the planned date at all. The call object of a maintenance plan is the object that the system generates when a maintenance call is due. The call object can be a maintenance order, a maintenance notification, a service entry sheet, or a purchase requisition. If the call object is a maintenance order, the system uses the actual finish date of the maintenance order to calculate the future planned dates for the maintenance packages. The actual finish date is the date when the maintenance work is completed and confirmed. The planned date of the next call, the date of the final confirmation, and the technical completion date of the maintenance order are not relevant for the calculation of future planned dates if the maintenance work is delayed.

- A . Planner group
- B . Maintenance plan
- C . Work center
- D . Business partner
Correct Answer: C D
C D
Explanation:
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.

The Preparation and Scheduling phase within phase-based maintenance is the phase where the maintenance planner divides the maintenance effort into manageable groups, levels out the workload over several weeks, determines the concrete time period for the requested maintenance work, and checks the availability of all the resources, spare parts and services needed1.
Option B (The order moves to the Preparation phase once it is approved and released) is correct, because the approval and release of the order is the last step of the previous phase (Approval phase)2. Once the order is approved and released, it is ready for preparation and scheduling.
Option D (The configuration of the order type decides whether you use Resource Scheduling or not) is also correct, because the order type determines whether the order is relevant for resource scheduling or not2. Resource scheduling is an optional step in the Preparation and Scheduling phase, where the planner can assign and dispatch the orders and operations to the technicians using the Resource Scheduling apps2.
Option A (If you use the Resource Scheduling apps, you always dispatch orders and operations) is incorrect, because the Resource Scheduling apps allow the planner to either dispatch or assign the
orders and operations2. Dispatching means that the planner assigns a specific technician and a specific time slot for the order or operation, while assigning means that the planner assigns only a technician or a team, but not a specific time slot2.
Option C (Maintenance Planning Buckets give you a list of non-approved notifications) is also incorrect, because the Maintenance Planning Buckets app gives the planner a list of approved and released orders that are ready for preparation and scheduling2. The non-approved notifications are handled in the previous phase (Screening phase)2.

- A . Schedule
• Dispatch - B . Release
• Print - C . Complete
• Close Report - D . Release
• Start Work
Correct Answer: C D
C D
Explanation:
The Report and Repair Malfunction SAPUI5 app is a Fiori app that allows the technician to easily report that a technical object has a malfunction, plan the required repair work, as well as document and confirm the maintenance work when it’s done1.
With this app, the technician can perform the following activities:
C) Complete and Close Report. This is true because the technician can provide information about the malfunction and the job, confirm the job, and close the malfunction report. The technician can also attach pictures or descriptions of the damage, as well as a URL to provide further information about the technical object or the damage1.
D. Release and Start Work. This is true because the technician can release the malfunction report and start working on the job assigned to them. The technician can also view the details of the technical object, the history of recent repair work, the required spare parts, and the work centers involved1.
The technician cannot perform the following activities with this app:
A) Schedule and Dispatch. This is false because these activities are performed by the planner or the dispatcher, not the technician. The planner or the dispatcher can use the Resource Scheduling app to schedule and dispatch the maintenance orders and operations2.
B) Release and Print. This is false because the technician can only release the malfunction report, not print it. The technician can use the Repair Malfunctions – My Job List app to view the list of all work items assigned to them and their current status, but not to print them1.

Question #28
Which scheduling parameters are used in a multiple-counter plan? Note: There are 2 correct answers
to this question.
- A . Scheduling period
- B . Start date
- C . Scheduling indicator
- D . Factory calendar
Correct Answer: A C
A C
Explanation:
A multiple-counter plan is a maintenance plan that contains multiple maintenance cycles based on different counters. The scheduling parameters are used to define the scheduling rules for each maintenance cycle in the plan.
The scheduling parameters are:
Scheduling period: This is the interval between two maintenance calls, expressed in the unit of the counter. For example, if the counter is measured in kilometers, the scheduling period could be 10,000 km. This means that a maintenance call is due every 10,000 km. This parameter is mandatory for each maintenance cycle in a multiple-counter plan1.
Scheduling indicator: This is the indicator that determines how the system calculates the next due date for the maintenance call, based on the counter reading and the scheduling period. There are three possible values for the scheduling indicator1:
Fixed: The system calculates the next due date by adding the scheduling period to the counter reading at the time of the last maintenance call. For example, if the last maintenance call was at 20,000 km and the scheduling period is 10,000 km, the next due date is 30,000 km.
Shifted: The system calculates the next due date by adding the scheduling period to the counter reading at the time of the actual maintenance execution. For example, if the actual maintenance execution was at 21,500 km and the scheduling period is 10,000 km, the next due date is 31,500 km.
Proportional: The system calculates the next due date by adding the scheduling period to the counter reading at the time of the planned maintenance execution. For example, if the planned maintenance execution was at 20,500 km and the scheduling period is 10,000 km, the next due date is 30,500 km.
Start date: This is the date when the first maintenance call is due, based on the counter reading and the scheduling period. This parameter is optional for each maintenance cycle in a multiple-counter plan1. If it is not specified, the system uses the current date as the start date.
Factory calendar: This is the calendar that defines the working days and holidays for the maintenance plan. This parameter is optional for each maintenance cycle in a multiple-counter plan1. If it is not specified, the system uses the factory calendar of the maintenance planning plant.
Therefore, option A (Scheduling period) and option C (Scheduling indicator) are correct, while option B (Start date) and option D (Factory calendar) are not mandatory for a multiple-counter plan.

Question #29
The planner adds non-stock material in a released maintenance order.
What are possible options within the maintenance order? Note: There are 3 correct answers to this question?
- A . A purchase requisition can be created automatically as soon as the order is saved.
- B . The maintenance order can be set to TECO before the invoice is created
- C . A goods receipt can be posted after the maintenance order is technically completed.
- D . A purchase order is created automatically as soon as the order is saved.
- E . A purchase requisition will ALWAYS be created as soon as the order is saved.
Correct Answer: A B C
A B C
Explanation:
Non-stock materials are materials that are not kept in stock, but are procured externally as required1. They can be maintained in the material master as service products (product type SERV). You can add non-stock materials to an operation or suboperation as a component. The system creates a purchase requisition and a purchase order in the same way as for non-stock materials that you procure externally1.
Among the given options, the following are possible for non-stock materials in a released maintenance order:
A purchase requisition can be created automatically as soon as the order is saved. This is the default behavior for non-stock materials, unless you change the configuration settings2.
The maintenance order can be set to TECO (technically completed) before the invoice is created. This is possible if you use the compatibility mode for external procurement, which allows you to technically complete the order even if there are open purchase requisitions or purchase orders2.
A goods receipt can be posted after the maintenance order is technically completed. This is possible if you use the enhanced mode for external procurement, which allows you to post goods receipts for non-stock materials after the order is technically completed2.
The following options are not possible for non-stock materials in a released maintenance order:
A purchase order is created automatically as soon as the order is saved. This is not possible, as the purchase order requires manual processing and approval after the purchase requisition is created2.
A purchase requisition will ALWAYS be created as soon as the order is saved. This is not always true, as you can change the configuration settings to create the purchase requisition manually or at a later point in time2.
Therefore, the correct answers are A, B, and C.
