Notes For Answering These PM Questions #1

Which of the following is true about Transfer of Measurement and Counter Reading?

Notes: Both measuring points must have the same characteristic. It is assumed that both measuring points are in the same hierarchy. A transfer of Measurement and Counter Readings will always create interval documents. Measurement and Counter Readings can be transferred from another, external structure.
 

Which of the following statements on the relationship between the notification and maintenance order is correct?

Notes: You can combine several notifications in an order. An notification can be created from an order until the order is technically completed. The assignment of a notification to an order can be deleted if the notification is only assigned at order's header level. Several maintenance orders can be generated from a notification. A notification can be assigned to an order if it has the status: "Outstanding”, “Postponed", "In Process".
 

Under which circumstances should serial numbers be used?

Notes: If the objects involved carry a brand marking from the manufacturer with the serial number on them. If you want to manage individual objects based on stock. If you want to individualize materials, because they might need to be managed as separate technical objects. If you want to build up bills of material for pieces of equipment. If pieces of equipment should be classified.
 

You can assign a catalog profile to a piece of equipment, functional location or notification type. Which of the following is correct?

Notes: The system assigns a catalog profile to the notification in the sequence: Equipment-Functional Location-Notification Type. You can assign any catalog profile to the notification individually. The system assigns a catalog profile to the notification in the sequence: Functional Location-Equipment-Notification Type. The system assigns a catalog profile to the notification in the sequence: Notification Type-Functional Location-Equipment. The sequence in which the system assigns the catalog profile to the notification is defined in Customizing.
 

A functional location K1-04 has a functional location BOM. The equipment P-1000 which itself has an equipment BOM, installed at functional location K1-04. We want to create a material BOM for the equipment above. 

Notes: You can only create a material BOM for P-1000 if the equipment BOM is a group BOM. You can create a material BOM for P-1000, but must note that it is in the same plant as the equipment and the functional location BOM.  You can create a material BOM for P-1000. In the order both the equipment BOM and the material BOM can be used.  You cannot create a material BOM for P-1000, for if a piece of equipment has an equipment BOM then the field “Construction Type" in equipment master is filled and as a result it is not possible for a material BOM to exist there.
 

For interval document postings, which of the following statements is correct?

Notes: Interval documents are created during the execution of preventive maintenance orders.  Posting of interval documents must be activated in Customizing.  Interval documents will only be created during the shutdown of industrial assets.  Interval documents can be created during transfer of measurement and counter readings.
 

The material planning on the maintenance order can be based on:

Notes: 
- From a Purchase Order Internet Catalogs. 
- From a BOM attached to the technical object. 
- Material assigned to the Notification. 
- Direct Material assignment.
 

Which activities can you still perform using a historical order?

Notes: 
- You can subsequently make automatic material withdrawals.
- You can subsequently maintain the settlement rule if you have configured thus in Customizing.
- You can subsequently use the actual prices (costing) to assign values to the resources.
- You can subsequently specify the actual costs that arose manually.
 

What is the function of the maintenance activity type?

Notes: It can be specified in the completion confirmation for an order and influence the costing control of the order. It has an outline function for costs in the Plant Maintenance/Service Information System (PMIS). It is used to define the charge rate of the cost center for the performing activities Together with the order type, it influences the settlement profile for the order.
