 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 The order release is the step that confirms that the order is ready to be executed and the materials can be withdrawn from the warehouse.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 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.

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.

When implementing UI technologies in SAP S/4HANA Asset Management, you have to consider the following points:

Web Dynpro apps can be used in the SAP Fiori Launchpad. This is true because Web Dynpro is one of the UI technologies that are supported by the SAP Fiori Launchpad, along with SAP Fiori apps, SAP GUI for HTML, and WebClient UI12.

SAP Fiori Launchpad supports only SAPUI5 apps. This is false because SAP Fiori Launchpad supports not only SAPUI5 apps, but also other UI technologies such as WebDynpro, SAP GUI for HTML, and WebClient UI12.

SAP GUI for HTML can be used in the SAP Fiori Launchpad. This is true because SAP GUI for HTML is one of the UI technologies that are supported by the SAP Fiori Launchpad, along with SAP Fiori apps, Web Dynpro, and WebClient UI12.

The cloud version can also use SAP GUI for Windows. This is false because SAP GUI for Windows is only available for the on-premise version of SAP S/4HANA Asset Management, not for the cloud version31.
