Phase-based maintenance is a new concept introduced in SAP S/4HANA Cloud that allows you to track the life cycle of the maintenance processes using nine predefined phases and sub-phases. These phases are set up by SAP and you cannot change them. However, you can control the transition of phases using phase control codes. Phase-based maintenance is only applicable to the new order types Reactive Maintenance and Proactive Maintenance, which are delivered with the relevant Best Practices scope items. It is not mandatory for breakdown and preventive maintenance, nor can it be used with any existing order type.

Question 2
How does a performance-based maintenance plan calculate the interval between start date and planned date?
Options:
A.
Cycle length divided by (monthly performance x 12)
B.
Cycle length divided by annual performance
C.
Cycle length divided by ((scheduling period) x (cycle modification factor))
D.
Cycle length divided by (annual performance/365)
Answer:
D
Question 3
You want to have several plan dates calculated in a maintenance plan.Which scheduling parameter do you use?
Options:
A.
Scheduling indicator
B.
Scheduling period
C.
End Date for Scheduling
D.
Call horizon
Answer:
B
Explanation:
Explanation:
To have several plan dates calculated in a maintenance plan, you use the scheduling period parameter. The scheduling period defines the time interval for which the system calculates the planned dates for the maintenance plan. For example, if you enter 12 months as the scheduling period, the system calculates the planned dates for the next 12 months from the current date. You can also specify the end date for scheduling, which is the last date for which the system calculates the planned dates. The scheduling indicator determines how the system calculates the planned dates based on the cycle, the shift factor, and the tolerance. The call horizon defines the percentage of the cycle that must be expired before the system generates a call object (such as a maintenance order or notification) for the planned date.
