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.

Answer : B, D

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.Reference:

Answer : C, D

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.Reference:1:Work Center2:Business Partner3:Planner Group: [Maintenance Plan]

Answer : A, C

Maintenance activity type is a key for the type of maintenance activity provided, such as repairs, shutdowns, regular activities, inspections, and so on.It is used to classify data according to the type of maintenance activity in cost evaluations, for example, total costs or number of orders for each technical object1.

Maintenance activity type can be used in the maintenance order header and the maintenance order operation. In the maintenance order header, it is used to specify the overall type of maintenance activity for the order. In the maintenance order operation, it is used to specify the type of maintenance activity for each operation within the order.The maintenance activity type in the operation can be different from the one in the header2.

Maintenance activity type cannot be used in the notification activity or the work center. Notification activity is a key for the type of activity performed in response to a notification, such as inspection, repair, or preventive maintenance. It is not related to the maintenance activity type. Work center is a key for the location where an operation is performed, such as a workshop, a laboratory, or a machine. It is also not related to the maintenance activity type.

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:

Explaining Refurbishment of Spare Parts, section ''Refurbishing Spare Parts Externally''

Refurbishment of Repairable Spares: Integration between SAP-PM and SAP-MM, section ''4.2 External Refurbishment: Major Steps''

Answer : B, D

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.
