 Material planning in the maintenance order is the process of determining the type, quantity, and availability of the materials required for carrying out the maintenance tasks. There are some considerations regarding material planning in the maintenance order, such as:

Material can be assigned at the operation level or the sub-operation level, but not at the order header level. This is because the material requirement is linked to the specific work that needs to be done in the order. Therefore, option A is incorrect1.

For stock material, you always need a reservation to ensure that the material is available when needed. A reservation is a request to the warehouse to keep a certain amount of material ready for withdrawal at a certain time. Therefore, option B is correct1.

A goods issue is the physical withdrawal of material from the warehouse. It can be entered for both planned and unplanned material in the maintenance order. Planned material is the material that is specified in the order before the actual execution of the work. Unplanned material is the material that is added to the order during or after the execution of the work. Therefore, option C is correct2.

The pick list is a document that lists all the materials that are required for a maintenance order. It can be printed after the order release, not before. The order release is the step that confirms that the order is ready to be executed and the materials can be withdrawn from the warehouse. Therefore, option D is incorrect3.

The work center influences cost calculation in the maintenance order via the cost center and activity type, and via the activity type and hourly rate. The cost center and activity type are assigned to the work center in the master data, and they determine the planned costs of the work center. The activity type and hourly rate are used to calculate the actual costs of the work center based on the actual hours reported for the maintenance order operations.

Option A (Via cost center assigned to a personnel number) is incorrect, because the cost center assigned to a personnel number is not relevant for the cost calculation of the work center. Option C (Via organizational unit and personal hourly rate) is also incorrect, because the organizational unit and personal hourly rate are not used to calculate the costs of the work center.

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.
