What are mandatory characteristics of orders with Operation Account Assignment (OAA)?
Note:
There are 3 correct answers to this question

  1. Overall costs are dynamically summed up on the header level.
  2. A technical object must be assigned to an order operation
  3. Costs are stored only for the operation object
  4. Purchase requisitions have the operation as account assignment.
  5. The settlement rule is maintained on the header level.

Answer(s): 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.

What are the prerequisites for serializing a piece of equipment?
Note: There are 3 correct answers to this question

  1. Add a serialized material to the equipment serial data view.
  2. Assign a serial number profile to an additional business view for equipment category
  3. Assign a serial number profile to the equipment category
  4. Assign a serial number profile to the related material master.
  5. Maintain a serial number for an existing equipment master.

Answer(s): 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.

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?

  1. Package hierarchy
  2. Scheduling indicator
  3. Maintenance package offset
  4. Cycle modification factor

Answer(s): 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 package. A maintenance package is a set of data that defines the frequency and scope of the maintenance tasks.

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 other.

Scheduling indicator: This is used to define the type of scheduling for the maintenance package, such as time-based, performance-based, or condition-based.

Cycle modification factor: This is used to modify the cycle length of the maintenance package by a certain percentage or factor.

During the implementation project you need to define the organizational units relevant for Plant Maintenance.
Which of the following objects can you directly assign to a maintenance plant?
Note:
There are 2 correct answers to this question

  1. Maintenance work center
  2. Maintenance planner group
  3. Organizational unit
  4. Storage location

Answer(s): A,D

Explanation:

A maintenance plant is the organizational unit in which the technical objects to be maintained are physically present. A maintenance plant can be directly assigned to the following objects:

A maintenance work center, which is a location where maintenance tasks are performed. A maintenance work center can be a person, a group of persons, or a technical object, such as a machine or a vehicle. A maintenance work center is defined by its capacity, availability, and cost rates1

A storage location, which is a place where spare parts and materials are stored within a plant. A storage location can be a warehouse, a bin, or a shelf. A storage location is defined by its address, stock type, and valuation area2

The other options are incorrect because:

A maintenance planner group, which is a group of planners who are responsible for planning maintenance activities in a maintenance planning plant. A maintenance planner group is not directly assigned to a maintenance plant, but to a maintenance planning plant. A maintenance planning plant is the organizational unit in which maintenance requirements are planned3

An organizational unit, which is a generic term for any unit of an organization that performs a specific function or task. An organizational unit can be a company code, a plant, a sales organization, a purchasing organization, etc. An organizational unit is not directly assigned to a maintenance plant, but to a higher-level organizational unit, such as a company code or a controlling area.
