SAP Certified Associate - SAP S/4HANA Cloud Private Edition, Asset Management C_S43_2023 Exam Practice Test

Answer : D

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.Reference:

Answer : A, C, D

Answer : A, B, C

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.Reference:1: What's New in SAP S/4HANA 2021 - SAP Online Help2: How to Configure SAP S/4HANA Asset Maintenance Subcontracting - SAP PRESS

SAP S/4HANA Asset Management, Public Cloud Edition is a cloud-based solution that offers a simplified and standardized configuration of the system via the self-service configuration UI. You can use this UI to adjust the system settings according to your business needs. You do not have access to the SAP S/4HANA back-end system, as it is managed by SAP. SAP Asset Intelligence Network is a separate cloud-based solution that connects manufacturers, operators, and service providers of physical assets. You can use SAP Asset Intelligence Network to share and exchange asset information, but you cannot use it to configure SAP S/4HANA Cloud. Reference:

Answer : A, B

Answer : B, C

To schedule a performance-based maintenance plan, you need to specify the start counter reading and the estimated annual performance of the equipment or functional location. The start counter reading is the initial value of the counter assigned to the maintenance plan. The estimated annual performance is the expected value of the counter for one year. These parameters are used to calculate the maintenance cycle and the due date for the maintenance plan. The scheduling period and the counter overflow reading are optional

Answer : A, D

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.
