 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. References:

 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:

 A maintenance request within the phase-based process differs from a maintenance notification in the standard process in that it contains an additional screening phase where requests can be acceptedor rejected. In the standard process, a maintenance notification is created and processed without any screening. In the phase-based process, a maintenance request is created and submitted for screening. The screening phase allows the supervisor to review the request and decide whether to accept it or reject it. If the request is accepted, it becomes a maintenance notification and moves to the planning phase. If the request is rejected, it is closed and no further action is taken1.

The other options are incorrect because:

A maintenance request does not always use the risk-based assessment for prioritization. It can also use a predefined priority list2.

A maintenance request is not a new business object with no connection to a maintenance notification. It is a maintenance notification that is in the initiation or screening phase3.

It is not mandatory to assign a task list to the maintenance request. A task list can be assigned to the maintenance order in the planning phase4.

The Report and Repair Malfunction SAPUI5 app is a Fiori app that allows the technician to easily report that a technical object has a malfunction, plan the required repair work, as well as document and confirm the maintenance work when it’s done1. With this app, the technician can perform the following activities:

C. Complete and Close Report. This is true because the technician can provide information about the malfunction and the job, confirm the job, and close the malfunction report. The technician can also attach pictures or descriptions of the damage, as well as a URL to provide further information about the technical object or the damage1.

D. Release and Start Work. This is true because the technician can release the malfunction report and start working on the job assigned to them. The technician can also view the details of the technical object, the history of recent repair work, the required spare parts, and the work centers involved1.

The technician cannot perform the following activities with this app:

A. Schedule and Dispatch. This is false because these activities are performed by the planner or the dispatcher, not the technician. The planner or the dispatcher can use the Resource Scheduling app to schedule and dispatch the maintenance orders and operations2.

B. Release and Print. This is false because the technician can only release the malfunction report, not print it. The technician can use the Repair Malfunctions - My Job List app to view the list of all work items assigned to them and their current status, but not to print them1. References: 1: Report and Repair Malfunction 2: Resource Scheduling

A. An Inspection Plan and a technical object must be assigned to the same class. This is true because the inspection plan and the technical object must have matching classification characteristics for the inspection checklist generation. The class defines the characteristics that are relevant for the inspection plan and the technical object1.

B. A PM task list with inspection point type must be assigned to the maintenance order. This is false because the inspection checklist generation does not depend on the PM task list. The inspection checklist is based on the QM inspection plan, which is a different type of task list2.

C. An object list must have been generated manually or automatically. This is true because the object list contains the technical objects that will be checked for matching inspection plans. The object list can be generated from the header object of the order, and objects from the maintenance plan item3.

D. A checklist type must be assigned to the maintenance order header. This is false because the checklist type must be assigned to the maintenance order operation, not the header. The checklist type defines the inspection lot origin and the inspection type for the inspection checklist4. References: 1: Explaining Inspection Checklists 2: Inspection Lot 3: Object List and Inspection Checklist 4: Checklist Type in Task List Operation

When implementing UI technologies in SAP S/4HANA Asset Management, you have to consider the following points:

Web Dynpro apps can be used in the SAP Fiori Launchpad. This is true because Web Dynpro is one of the UI technologies that are supported by the SAP Fiori Launchpad, along with SAP Fiori apps, SAP GUI for HTML, and WebClient UI12.

SAP Fiori Launchpad supports only SAPUI5 apps. This is false because SAP Fiori Launchpad supports not only SAPUI5 apps, but also other UI technologies such as WebDynpro, SAP GUI for HTML, and WebClient UI12.

SAP GUI for HTML can be used in the SAP Fiori Launchpad. This is true because SAP GUI for HTML is one of the UI technologies that are supported by the SAP Fiori Launchpad, along with SAP Fiori apps, Web Dynpro, and WebClient UI12.

The cloud version can also use SAP GUI for Windows. This is false because SAP GUI for Windows is only available for the on-premise version of SAP S/4HANA Asset Management, not for the cloud version31.

 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
