The Maintenance Planning Overview app allows the planner to analyze critical factors in a chosen reference period, such as outstanding notifications, maintenance orders, purchase requisitions, and purchase orders. The app displays the data in multiple cards that show the number of objects and their status. The planner can use the default filters or adapt them according to their needs.

The activities that the planner can perform by using the app with the default filters are:

Display approved purchase requisitions for which NO purchase orders have been generated. This is shown in the card “Purchase Requisitions Not Released” which displays the number of purchase requisitions that have been approved but not converted into purchase orders. The planner can navigate to the list of purchase requisitions and take further actions, such as creating purchase orders or changing the requirement date.

Analyze overdue maintenance orders that have NOT been finally confirmed. This is shown in the card “Overdue Orders” which displays the number of maintenance orders that have been released but not completed within the planned end date. The planner can navigate to the list of overdue orders and check the status of the operations, confirmations, and goods movements.

Analyze maintenance orders that are still in planning and have NOT been released. This is shown in the card “Orders in Planning” which displays the number of maintenance orders that have not been released for execution. The planner can navigate to the list of orders in planning and complete the planning activities, such as assigning task lists, materials, and resources.

The activities that the planner cannot perform by using the app with the default filters are:

Display approved purchase requisitions for which purchase orders have been generated. This is not shown in any of the cards in the app. The planner can use the app “Manage Purchase Requisitions” to display this information.

Analyze confirmed maintenance orders that have NOT been settled. This is not shown in any of the cards in the app. The planner can use the app “Maintenance Order Costs Analysis” to display this information.

 The action log is a function that allows you to view the changes that were made to fields during the processing of an order or a piece of equipment. The action log shows you the date, time, user, sub-object, field name, old value, and new value of each change. To enable entries in the action log of a piece of equipment, you need to activate the change documents for the equipment category. The equipment category is a classification of equipment that determines the data that can be maintained for the equipment. The change documents are records of the changes that are made to the data of the equipment. You can activate the change documents for the equipment category in the Customizing for Technical Objects under Equipment Define Equipment Categories . You do not need to define history related fields in the usage period customizing, as this is only relevant for the equipment history. The equipment history is a function that allows you to view the usage periods of the equipment, such as the installation, removal, or transfer dates. The history related fields are fields that are relevant for the equipment history, such as the functional location, the maintenance plant, or the cost center. You can define the history related fields in the Customizing for Technical Objects under Equipment Define History-Related Fields for Usage Periods . You do not need to define or activate the change documents for the equipment reference category, as this is only relevant for the equipment reference. The equipment reference is a function that allows you to link a piece of equipment to another object, such as a material, a serial number, or a document. The equipment reference category is a classification of equipment references that determines the data that can be maintained for the equipment reference. You can define the equipment reference category in the Customizing for Technical Objects under Equipment Define Equipment Reference Categories . You can activate the change documents for the equipment reference category inthe Customizing for Technical Objects under Equipment Define Change Documents for Equipment Reference Categories . References:

The SAP Fiori app “Create Technical Object” allows you to create a new functional location and perform the following actions:

Edit classification data and characteristics. You can assign a class to the functional location and enter values for the characteristics of the class. This helps you to categorize and search for functional locations based on their attributes1

Assign documents. You can attach documents to the functional location, such as drawings, manuals, or certificates. This helps you to provide additional information and documentation for the functional location1

Assign a subordinate piece of equipment. You can assign an existing piece of equipment as a subordinate object to the functional location. This helps you to establish a hierarchical structure of technical objects and show the relationship between them1

The SAP Fiori app “Create Technical Object” does not allow you to perform the following actions:

Create a task list for functional location. You cannot create a task list for the functional location using this app. You need to use a different app, such as “Manage Task Lists”, to create and maintain task lists for technical objects2

Change a reference location. You cannot change the reference location of the functional location using this app. You need to use a different app, such as “Change Functional Location”, to modify the reference location of an existing functional location3

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.

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.

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.
