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 needto 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.

 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:

SAP Service and Asset Manager is a cloud-based mobile app that provides the following capabilities:

SAP Service and Asset Manager is available for SAP S/4HANA and SAP ERP. This means that the app can integrate with both systems and access the data and processes related to asset management and service operations12

SAP Service and Asset Manager can be used offline. This means that the app can store data locally on the device and synchronize it with the backend system when the network connection is available. This enables the users to work in remote areas or in situations where the network is unreliable12

SAP Service and Asset Manager can run on smart watches. This means that the app can leverage the features of wearable devices such as voice control, notifications, and sensors. This enhances the user experience and productivity of the field technicians13

SAP Service and Asset Manager does not provide the following capabilities:

SAP Service and Asset Manager does not provide single sign-on functionality. This means that the app requires the users to enter their credentials to log in to the app and the backend system. The app does not support any other authentication methods such as biometric or token-based2

SAP Service and Asset Manager is not available only for the iOS platform. This means that the app can run on both iOS and Android devices. The app supports the native features and user interface of both platforms12

The structure indicator is a key that defines the allowed characters and the hierarchy levels of the functional location structure. It consists of an edit mask and a hierarchy indicator. The edit mask defines the allowed characters for each position of the functional location identification. The hierarchy indicator defines the hierarchy levels of the functional location structure and the number of characters for each level. For example, a structure indicatorwith the edit mask ANNNN-NNNN and the hierarchy indicator 5-4 means that the functional location identification can have up to 9 alphanumeric characters, divided into two levels with 5 and 4 characters respectively, separated by a hyphen. The structure indicator does not limit the types of characters to alpha and numeric, as it can also include special characters, such as hyphens, slashes, or dots. Therefore, answer A is incorrect. The structure indicator also does not restrict the number of hierarchical levels to no more than 6, as it can have up to 10 levels. Therefore, answer B is also incorrect. References: Explaining Technical Asset Structures - SAP Learning and Organizational Elements and Structures | SAP Help Portal.

The offset within a maintenance strategy is a parameter that allows you to adjust the due dates of the maintenance packages in a maintenance plan.The offset can be used for two purposes:

To determine the first due date of a maintenance package. For example, if you have a quarterly maintenance package with an offset of 2 months, the first due date will be 2 months after the start date of the maintenance plan, and the subsequent due dates will be every 3 months after that.

To shift a maintenance package by a one-time amount. For example, if you have a monthly maintenance package with an offset of 10 days, the first due date will be 10 days after the start date of the maintenance plan, and the subsequent due dates will be every month after that. However, if you want to shift the second due date by 5 days, you can enter an offset of 5 days for the second maintenance package, and the due date will be 5 days later than the normal cycle. The offset will only apply to the second maintenance package, and the subsequent due dates will follow the normal cycle. The offset does not affect the call date for the maintenance order, which is determined by the call horizon and the scheduling period. The offset also does not create a preliminary buffer shifting the reference date of the maintenance order, which is determined by the lead float and the tolerance. References: 1: SAP Help Portal, SAP S/4HANA Asset Management, Learning Journey: SAP S/4HANA Asset Management, Topic: Maintenance Planning, Subtopic: Maintenance Strategy2: SAP Community, Maintenance Strategy-offset and float in days3: SAP Blogs, Highlights for Asset Management in SAP S/4HANA 2021, Topic: Maintenance Planning.

To set up Inspection Checklist processing, you need to customize the following settings:

Maintain settings at plant level for usage decisions. This is required to define the default values for the usage decision codes and the follow-up actions for the inspection lots. You can do this by using the customizing activity ‘Default Setting at Plant Level’ under 'Quality Management→Quality Inspection→Inspection Lot Completion→Maintain Default Values for Usage Decisions’1.

Assign an Inspection Type to a Maintenance Order Type and a Planning Plant. This is required to enable the creation of inspection lots for the maintenance orders. You can do this by using the customizing activity ‘Assign Inspection Type to Maintenance Order Type’ under 'Plant Maintenance and Customer Service→Maintenance and Service Processing→Maintenance and Service Orders→Functions and Settings for Order Types→Assign Inspection Type to Maintenance Order Type’2.

You do not need to create a control key which expects inspection characteristic assignments or assign an Inspection Type to a Maintenance Order Type only. These are not relevant settings for the Inspection Checklist processing. References:

A cycle set sequence is a feature that allows you to combine several multiple counter plan cycles in a set and determine the order in which the system considers the cycle sets for scheduling. A multiple counter plan is a maintenance plan that is based on one or more performance-based or time-based cycles1.

In this case, you can create a cycle set sequence with two cycles:

Cycle 1: Every 3 MON: pump inspection

Cycle 2: Every 24 MON: pump replacement

You can assign a different maintenance item and task list to each cycle, and specify the repetition factor for each cycle. The repetition factor determines how many times the cycle is repeated before the next cycle in the sequence is considered. For example, if you set the repetition factor of cycle 1 to 8, the system will schedule the pump inspection 8 times before scheduling the pump replacement.

By creating a cycle set sequence, you can achieve the requirement that when replacing the pump, the operation pump inspection will be ignored. The system will only generate a call object for the maintenance item that is assigned to the current cycle set. Therefore, when the pump replacement is due, the system will not generate a call object for the pump inspection.

The other options are incorrect because:

Assign different hierarchy levels: Hierarchy levels are used to structure the task list operations into groups and subgroups. They do not affect the scheduling of the task list operations.

Set the lead float: Lead float is a time buffer that is added to the start or finish date of a task list operation. It does not affect the scheduling of the task list operations.

Create a task list hierarchy: A task list hierarchy is a structure that contains several task lists that are linked together by a superior task list. It does not affect the scheduling of the task list operations.

The Resource Scheduling for Maintenance Planners app allows you to monitor important KPIs for your work centers, such as utilization, priority of due maintenance orders, and unconfirmed maintenance orders. You can also use filters to show the information that you are interested in. By clicking a card, you can access the Manage Work Center Utilization app, where you can dispatch maintenance order operations to your work centers. You cannot schedule and dispatch maintenance operations by shifts or print job papers from a maintenance order in this app. These functions are available in other apps, such as the Maintenance Scheduling Board app and the Print Job Papers app. References: Resource Scheduling for Maintenance Planners | SAP Help Portal and Resource Scheduling for Maintenance Planners | SAP Blogs
