The work center influences cost calculation in the maintenance order via the cost center and activity type, and via the activity type and hourly rate. The cost center and activity type are assigned to the work center in the master data, and they determine the planned costs of the work center. The activity type and hourly rate are used to calculate the actual costs of the work center based on the actual hours reported for the maintenance order operations.

Option A (Via cost center assigned to a personnel number) is incorrect, because the cost center assigned to a personnel number is not relevant for the cost calculation of the work center. Option C (Via organizational unit and personal hourly rate) is also incorrect, because the organizational unit and personal hourly rate are not used to calculate the costs of the work center.

 When planning maintenance work that is to be carried out by an external company, you have to consider the following aspects:

• If you assign a control key with indicator “Service” for an external service, you have to enter the actual values via the service entry sheet. This is because the service entry sheet is used to record the services performed by the external company and to verify the invoice. The service entry sheet is linked to the purchase order and the maintenance order operation.
• For the maintenance order type, you have to assign the Enhanced Procurement Mode. This is because the Enhanced Procurement Mode enables you to use lean services and enhanced limits for external services. Lean services are intended for the procurement of small or highly specialized services that are carried out by external suppliers as part of an internal or external operation. They can be maintained in the material master as service products. Enhanced limits allow you to define a maximum amount for the external service without specifying the service specifications in advance.
• If you assign a control key for an external order operation, the actual values must always be entered as a goods receipt in the system. This is not true, because the goods receipt is only required for external materials, not for external services. For external services, the service entry sheet is used instead.
• In the control key assigned to the order operation, the “Service” indicator must always be activated. This is not true, because the “Service” indicator is only required for external services, not for external operations. For external operations, the “External Processing” indicator must be activated instead. References: External Services Management (MM-SRV) | SAP Help Portal, Highlights for Asset Management in SAP S/4HANA 2021 | SAP Blogs.

Serializing a piece of equipment means assigning a unique serial number to identify and track the equipment throughout its lifecycle. The prerequisites for serializing a piece of equipment are:

• Assign a serial number profile to the equipment category. This defines the rules for creating and managing serial numbers for the equipment, such as the number range, the check digit, and the serial number usage. The serial number profile is assigned in the Customizing activity Define Equipment Categories under Plant Maintenance and Customer Service -> Master Data in Plant Maintenance and Customer Service -> Technical Objects -> Equipment -> Equipment Categories.
• Assign a serial number profile to the related material master. This ensures that the material and the equipment have the same serial number profile and that the serial number is automatically copied from the material to the equipment. The serial number profile is assigned in the material master data in the Plant Data/Stor. 1 view under Serial Number Profile.
• Maintain a serial number for an existing equipment master. This can be done either manually or automatically. Manually, you can enter the serial number in the equipment master data in the Serial Data view under Serial Number. Automatically, you can link the equipment with a serialized material and the serial number will be copied from the material to the equipment. This linking can be done either with a goods movement or manually.

The options that are not prerequisites for serializing a piece of equipment are:

• Add a serialized material to the equipment serial data view. This is not a prerequisite, but rather a possible way to link the equipment with a serialized material and copy the serial number from the material to the equipment. However, this can only be done if the serial number profile is already assigned to both the equipment category and the material master.
• Assign a serial number profile to an additional business view for equipment category. This is not a valid option, as the serial number profile is assigned to the equipment category itself, not to any additional business view.
