Answers: B, C

IMG - PM/CS - Maint/Service Processing - Maint. & Service Orders - Function and Setting for Order Types - Maintenance Activity Type - Define Maintenance Activity Types

... Maintenance Activity Type is NOT the same as the Costing Activity Type (which is created in Controlling Module and use for Costing Purpose), Maintenance Activity Type is used for PM Reporting and is configured here as a 3 alphanumeric field.

IMG - PM/CS - Maint/Service Processing - Maint. & Service Orders - Function and Setting for Order Types - Maintenance Activity Type - Define Valid Maintenance Activity Types to Maintenance Order Types

... Assign allowed Maintenance Activity Types to the Maintenance Order Types in this Configuration.

IMG - PM/CS - Maint/Service Processing - Maint. & Service Orders - Function and Setting for Order Types - Maintenance Activity Type - Default Values for Maintenance Activity Type for Each Order Type

... This Configuration is OPTIONAL, if configured then the assigned Maintenance Activity Type will be

• Defaulted to the Maintenance Order Header when the Order Type is used.
• Defaulted to the Maintenance Plan Item when the Call Object is a Maintenance Order.

The Maintenance Activity Types are only used in Maintenance Orders and not for Maintenance Notifications, therefore Answer A can be eliminated:

A) Reporting for Maintenance Notification

Since the Maintenance Activity Type is configured for Maintenance Order, you can find this in Maintenance Order Reporting, therefore Answer B  
B) Reporting for Maintenance Order. (The LIS for plant maintenance comes with some standard reporting/tracking dealing with the Maintenance Activity Types. )

When the Call Object is "Maintenance Order" in Maintenance Plan, then the Maintenance Activity Type can be defaulted in the Maintenance Plan Item. So, when the Order is called then the Activity Type can be defaulted to the Maintenance Order, therefore Answer C

Answer D) Activity Price for Maintenance Order Operations can also be eliminated because this is referred to the Costing Activity Type which has no relationship to the Maintenance Activity Type.

E) Task Determination for Maintenance Operations can also be Eliminated because the Maintenance Activity Type at the HEADER Maintenance Order is not related to the Maintenance Operations.
