SAP C_S43_2023 Practice Test - Questions Answers

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

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

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.

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.

Operation Account Assignment

Operation Account Assignment 2

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.

Serial Number Management

Explaining Refurbishment of Spare Parts

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 themaintenance package offsetparameter 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.

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.

Linear data is used to describe the location and extent of linear assets, such as pipelines, roads, or cables. Linear data can be stored in the master data of technical objects, such as functional locations and equipment, as well as in the transactional data of maintenance processes, such as notifications, orders, and confirmations. The objects that have been enhanced with linear data in maintenance processes are:

Work order confirmation: You can record the processing status of a maintenance order by entering linear data in the confirmation.You can also use the linear data from the order operation or the notification item as a default value1

Maintenance plan item: You can define inspections and maintenance tasks in linear assets by creating and managing the maintenance items in maintenance plans with linear data.You can also use the linear data from the technical object or the task list as a default value2

Notification item: You can describe the condition of your linear asset or report a malfunction by entering linear data in the notification item.You can also use the linear data from the technical object as a default value3

The Report Malfunction app allows the maintenance technician to perform the following steps when reporting a malfunction of a technical object:

Display the current location of the technical object. The app shows the geographical location of the technical object on a map, if the Geographical Enablement Framework is activated.This helps the technician to locate the technical object and plan the travel route1

Add a URL to provide further information. The app allows the technician to attach a URL to the malfunction report, such as a link to a video or a website that shows the problem or the solution.This helps the technician to provide additional information and documentation for the malfunction1

View details of the technical object by navigating to the Asset Viewer. The app allows the technician to access the Asset Viewer app from the malfunction report, where they can view the technical object details, such as the structure, documents, history, and measurements.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
