Question no 4060 : Serial and Equipment creation

In SAP Plant Maintenance, the Equipment master can be prepared at which of the following Logistics Steps?

(more than one answers)

A) When creating Purchase Requisition.
B) When creating Purchase Order.
C) At the Point of Goods Receipt.
D) After Goods Receipt and then link the Equipment to the Material - Serial Master. 
E) At MRP Run when creating Purchase Requisition. 

Answer: C, D 

From the technical aspect, a Serial Number can be created even before the PR is created except that the Equipment master is not activated/created. The Serial Profile's Serial Procedure control's Serial Creation with or without Equipment requirement. For example without Serial Requirement active, the Serial number for the Material is created before or at Goods Receipt; and only after that the Equipment can be activated.

In summary, by leveraging serial number profiles and proper configuration, you can streamline the process of creating equipment records in SAP during goods receipt for purchase orders, particularly for items that are considered assets.

However, it is important to note that when the PR and PO are saved to create the Serial Number with a Serial Profile that is assigned to an Equipment Category (and also Serial Profile "POSL" assigned to the Serial Profile). Not only the Serial Number Master (accessible via IQ03) is created at point of PR or PO saving, the Equipment Master VIEW is also created BUT not yet Activated! It is only at Goods Receipt of the PO that the Equipment Master is then REALLY CREATED.

Question no 3949 : Goods Movement to Maintenance Order

In SAP Plant Maintenance as in ECC6 EhP8, Goods movement can be done with reference to the Maintenance Order in which the following scenarios ?

(more than one answer)

B) Maintenance Order "REL" Released status.
C) Maintenance Order "TECO" Technical Completed status.
D) Maintenance Order "GMAL" Goods Movement allowed status.
E) Maintenance Order "CLSD" Business Closed status.
.

Answer: B, C

A) At Created status, the MM Reservations are set without the Movement Allowed indicator an therefore Goods Movement is not possible.

B) At Released status, the system automatically flags the Movement Allowed indicator in the MM Reservation items and therefore Goods Movement is now possible.

C) At TECO status, all Reservation items will be flagged with the Deletion Flag and therefore it is not possible for perform any Goods Movements for those Reservations already closed; but do be careful that in MIGO, you can still direct charge to the Maintenance Order even without the Reservations and this is called un-planned Goods Issue. To avoid this loop-hole, after TECO before Business Closing, we can use the User status business function to Stop the Goods Movement.

D) There is no "GMAL" system status.

E) At Business Closing or "CLSD" status, all MM or FI postings are disallowed.
