Question no 4014 : a new Plant setup for Material Ledger

In SAP Controlling, when activating a new Plant for Material Ledger in S/4, which of the following are relevant ?

A) Material Type requires Quantity and Value update setting for the new Plant.
B) CKMSTART required for Production Start-ups for Material Management.
C) Assign an appropriate Material Ledger type to the Plant/Valuation area.
D) Ensure no Material Management Postings before Material Ledger activation was completed.
E) When creating the first material, do not forget to select "ML" to activate the Material Ledger in the Accounting view
.

Answer: A, B, C, D

A) If Material Type is without Qty and Value Update, the Material created with that Material Type will still be without Material Ledger.
B, D) CKMSTART is required to prepare postings to MM, it is therefore highly recommended to not have any MM Postings before CKMSTART.
C) Material Ledger Type assignment is the Pre-requisite to activate the Material Ledger for the new Valuation Area/Plant.

Refer to the latest STEPs recommended by SAP Documentation for Material Ledger activation depending on the version of SAP implemented.

Question: The number 1-12 referring to Months of the Year, the 2 Technical Object which are Container 1 and Container 2 requires Monthly Maintenance as below:

Container 1: Preventive Maintenance is Month 1,2,3,4,5,6 and no need for Period 7-12

Container 2: Preventive Maintenance is Month 7,8,9,10,11,12 and no need for Period 1-6

And the same will repeat for the next year. 

In SAP, the Maintenance Plan created for Monthly Cycle will always create MO for ALL Periods, the question is how to avoid scheduling any MO for Periods 7-12 for Container 1 as well as to avoid scheduling any MO for Periods 1-6 for Container 2.
