-

-

Correct Answer(s)
A. Spare parts planning in the task list
A. Structuring of the object
A. Spare parts planning in the orderExplanation
The maintenance bill of materials (BOM) in Enterprise Asset Management is different from a common BOM because it only includes maintenance-relevant items. The most important functions of a maintenance BOM are spare parts planning in the task list, structuring of the object, and spare parts planning in the order.
Spare parts planning in the task list ensures that the necessary spare parts are identified and included in the maintenance tasks. This helps in efficient maintenance planning and execution.
Structuring of the object involves organizing the maintenance BOM in a logical manner, making it easier to navigate and understand the relationship between different components.
Spare parts planning in the order ensures that the required spare parts are available when maintenance work is scheduled, preventing delays and downtime.Rate this question:

The answer options provide an explanation of the differences between planning materials that are in stock and those that are not available. If the planned materials are in stock, a reservation is made in the warehouse, and goods issue and goods receipt from a purchase order are recorded in the document flow of the maintenance order. On the other hand, if the materials are not available on stock, the maintenance order can automatically generate purchase requisitions in SAP MM, and a purchase order is created with reference to the maintenance order. The costs of the materials ordered are debited to the maintenance order upon goods receipt.Rate this question:
