A refurbishment order is a type of maintenance order that is used to repair or restore a damaged or defective material. The material is usually a fixed asset, such as a machine or a vehicle, that belongs to the company. The refurbishment order allows you to track the costs and activities involved in the refurbishment process, and to settle the costs to the fixed asset. The fixed asset is the default object type for the settlement of a refurbishment order, but you can also use other object types, such as the cost center or the WBS element, depending on your business requirements. References: Alibaba Cloud Academy - ACP Cloud Computing Certification Course - Chapter 9: Maintenance Management - Section 9.2: Refurbishment Order

 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:

• A maintenance order with status REL means that the order is released and ready for execution. At this stage, the following characteristics apply:

 The visible tiles for a specific user in SAP Fiori Launchpad are determined by the PFCG roles that are assigned to the user. The PFCG roles contain the SAP Fiori catalogs and tile groups that define the available and visible tiles for the user.

The steps to set up the visible tiles for a specific user are:

• Create or use an existing PFCG role in the backend system that contains the SAP Fiori catalogs and tile groups that are relevant for the user. The catalogs and tile groups can be created or copied from the SAP Fiori Launchpad Designer app. The catalogs contain the tiles and target mappings that represent the apps that can be launched from the launchpad. The tile groups are collections of tiles that are displayed on the launchpad home page.
• Assign the PFCG role to the user in the backend system. The user can have multiple PFCG roles assigned, depending on their business needs and authorizations.
• Log on to the SAP Fiori Launchpad with the user credentials. The user will see the tiles that are assigned to them through the PFCG roles on the launchpad home page. The user can also personalize the launchpad by adding, removing, or rearranging the tiles and groups.

The other options are incorrect because:

• Portal roles are not used to assign SAP Fiori catalogs and tile groups. Portal roles are used to assign portal content, such as iViews and pages, to users in the SAP Enterprise Portal.
• Assigning the tiles directly to the user is not possible. The tiles are part of the catalogs and tile groups that are assigned to the user through the PFCG roles.

To set up the refurbishment process, you have to consider the following steps:

• Assign a view profile for refurbishment to the order type: A view profile determines which fields and tabs are displayed in the order header and item. You can assign a view profile for refurbishment to the order type in Customizing for Plant Maintenance and Customer Service under Maintenance and Service Processing -> Maintenance and Service Orders -> Functions and Settings for Order Types -> Assign View Profiles to Order Types. The view profile for refurbishment enables you to enter the material and serial number of the defective item, as well as the valuation type and the target material for the refurbished item12.
• Assign a stock determination rule to the PM order type: A stock determination rule defines the sequence in which the system searches for available stock when you create a reservation or a goods movement for a material. You can assign a stock determination rule to the PM order type in Customizing for Plant Maintenance and Customer Service under Maintenance and Service Processing -> Maintenance and Service Orders -> Functions and Settings for Order Types -> Assign Stock Determination Rule to Order Type. The stock determination rule for refurbishment allows you to specify the valuation type of the defective item that is to be refurbished12.

The other options are not correct for the following reasons:

• Assign valuation type C to the order type: Valuation type C is not a valid option for the order type. Valuation type C is a valuation category that indicates that the material is valuated by condition, such as new, refurbished, or defect. Valuation type C is assigned to the material master, not to the order type3.
• Mark the order type for refurbishment in customizing: There is no option to mark the order type for refurbishment in customizing. The order type for refurbishment is determined by the order category, which is 30 for refurbishment orders. The order category is assigned to the order type in Customizing for Plant Maintenance and Customer Service under Maintenance and Service Processing -> Maintenance and Service Orders -> Order Types -> Define Order Types3.

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.

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

The maintenance planner can perform a material availability check via the SAP Fiori app “Manage Maintenance Order List” or via the SAP Fiori app “Maintenance Scheduling Board”. These apps allow the planner to check whether the components required for a maintenance order are available and update the availability status in the orders accordingly. The planner can also view the results of the material availability check in these apps. The planner cannot perform a material availability check within the SAP Fiori-based background job or via the SAP Fiori app “Manage Maintenance Planning Buckets”. The background job is used to schedule material availability checks for several maintenance orders at runtime or as a recurrent batch job, but the planner cannot execute the check manually within the job. The app “Manage Maintenance Planning Buckets” is used to plan and monitor the maintenance workload and backlog, but it does not offer the functionality to perform a material availability check.

 To display vehicle-specific data for a piece of equipment, such as the vehicle type, the vehicle class, the registration number, the license plate, and the vehicle identification number, you need to assign a view profile to an equipment category for fleet equipment. A view profile defines which fields are displayed and editable for a specific equipment category. You can create and assign view profiles in Customizing for Plant Maintenance and Customer Service under Master Data in Plant Maintenance and Customer Service -> Technical Objects -> Equipment -> Define View Profiles for Equipment Categories. You can also assign a view profile to an equipment category for fleet equipment in Customizing for Plant Maintenance and Customer Service under Master Data in Plant Maintenance and Customer Service -> Technical Objects -> Fleet Management -> Assign View Profiles toEquipment Categories for Fleet Equipment1. References: 1: SAP Help Portal, SAP S/4HANA Asset Management, Learning Journey: SAP S/4HANA Asset Management, Topic: Fleet Management, Subtopic: Vehicle-Specific Data for Equipment.
