C_S43_2022 Practice Exam Questions and Answers

You can see the results of the material availability check for maintenance orders in two places: within a maintenance order and in the list editing (single-level) for maintenance orders.

• Within a maintenance order, you can see the material availability status for each component in the Components tab. The status can be one of the following: Available, Not Available, Partially Available, or Not Checked. You can also see the availability date, which is the date on which the component can be fully available. You can access the maintenance order from the Manage Maintenance Orders app or the Change Maintenance Order app1.
• In the list editing (single-level) for maintenance orders, you can see the material availability status for each order in the Material Availability column. The status can be one of the following: Available, Not Available, Partially Available, or Not Checked. You can also see the availability date, which is the date on which all the components for the order can be fully available. You can access the list editing from the List Editing (Single-Level) for Maintenance Orders app2.

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.

The Report and Repair Malfunction app supports the maintenance technician in the following steps:

• Plan repair work for the responsible work center: The app allows the technician to assign the work items to the work center that is responsible for the repair work. The work center can be a person, a group of persons

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

SAPUI5 apps are web applications that use the SAPUI5 framework to create user interfaces for SAP business applications. SAPUI5 apps can be integrated into the SAP Fiori Launchpad, which is a shell that hosts SAP Fiori apps and provides them with services such as navigation, personalization, embedded support, and application configuration1.

To implement SAPUI5 apps in the SAP Fiori Launchpad, two mandatory elements are catalogs and tile groups.

• Catalogs are collections of tiles and target mappings that define the SAPUI5 apps that can be launched from the SAP Fiori Launchpad. Tiles are the entry points to the SAPUI5 apps, and target mappings define the semantic objects and actions that are used to navigate to the SAPUI5 apps. Catalogs are created and maintained by administrators in the SAP Fiori Launchpad Designer.
• Tile groups are collections of tiles that are displayed on the SAP Fiori Launchpad home page. Tile groups are created and maintained by end users or administrators in the SAP Fiori Launchpad. Tile groups allow users to organize and access the SAPUI5 apps that are relevant for their roles and tasks.

The other options are incorrect because:

• Web Dynpro Apps are web applications that use the Web Dynpro framework to create user interfaces for SAP business applications. Web Dynpro Apps are not SAPUI5 apps, and they require a different integration approach to be launched from the SAP Fiori Launchpad.
• Transactions are executable programs in the SAP system that perform specific business functions, such as creating a sales order or posting a goods receipt. Transactions are not SAPUI5 apps, and they require a different integration approach to be launched from the SAP Fiori Launchpad.

The Preparation and Scheduling phase within phase-based maintenance is the phase where the maintenance planner divides the maintenance effort into manageable groups, levels out the workload over several weeks, determines the concrete time period for the requested maintenance work, and checks the availability of all the resources, spare parts and services needed1.

Option B (The order moves to the Preparation phase once it is approved and released) is correct, because the approval and release of the order is the last step of the previous phase (Approval phase)2. Once the order is approved and released, it is ready for preparation and scheduling.

Option D (The configuration of the order type decides whether you use Resource Scheduling or not) is also correct, because the order type determines whether the order is relevant for resource scheduling or not2. Resource scheduling is an optional step in the Preparation and Scheduling phase, where the planner can assign and dispatch the orders and operations to the technicians using the Resource Scheduling apps2.

Option A (If you use the Resource Scheduling apps, you always dispatch orders and operations) is incorrect, because the Resource Scheduling apps allow the planner to either dispatch or assign the orders and operations2. Dispatching means that the planner assigns a specific technician and a specific time slot for the order or operation, while assigning means that the planner assigns only a technician or a team, but not a specific time slot2.

Option C (Maintenance Planning Buckets give you a list of non-approved notifications) is also incorrect, because the Maintenance Planning Buckets app gives the planner a list of approved and released orders that are ready for preparation and scheduling2. The non-approved notifications are handled in the previous phase (Screening phase)2.

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.

 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/4HAN

• 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

To set up a general maintenance task list for inspection rounds using the overall time confirmation as a simplified way to record measurement documents, you need to do the following steps:

• Assign a piece of equipment with an allocated measuring point to a task list operation. This will allow you to inspect the equipment and record the measurement readings for the measuring point during the inspection round. You can assign the equipment either manually or automatically using the object list in the task list header1.
• Assign a measuring point as a production resources/tools (PRT) to a task list operation. This will allow you to inspect the measuring point and record the measurement readings for it during the inspection round. You can assign the measuring point either manually or automatically using the PRT category 0010 (Measuring Point) in the task list operation1.
• You do not need to assign an inspection lot to the task list header, as this is not required for inspection rounds. Inspection lots are used for quality inspections that are triggered by events such as goods receipt, production order, or sales order2.
• You do not need to assign an inspection document as a PRT to the task list operation, as this is not supported for inspection rounds. Inspection documents are used for quality inspections that are based on inspection plans and inspection characteristics2. References: PM - General maintenance task list and Set up your SAP S/4HANA system for EAM Inspection Checklists in SAP Help Portal.

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

•  This is required to define the inspection scope and the checklist type for the technical object. The inspection plan must be classified with the same class as the technical object and have matching characteristic values1.
• Classification data assigned to a technical object: This is required to identify the relevant inspection plan and checklist type for the technical object. The technical object must be classified with the same class as the inspection plan and have matching characteristic values1.

The other options are not correct because:

• Inspection point type assigned to the task list header: This is not a prerequisite for inspection checklist processing, but an optional setting that allows the user to define inspection points for the checklist items2.
• Master inspection characteristics assigned to PM task list operations: This is not a prerequisite for inspection checklist processing, but an optional setting that allows the user to use master inspection characteristics as checklist items2.
