 When you settle a refurbishment order with the batches (valuation types) having price control standard price, the following effects occur:

• The effective costs are posted as a credit memo to a price difference account. This means that the difference between the actual costs of the refurbishment and the standard price of the batch is recorded as a variance in the accounting document. This ensures that the inventory value of the batch is not affected by the refurbishment costs1
• The goods receipt for the batch refurbished is posted with the value of the standard price. This means that the inventory value of the batch is updated with the predefined price that is maintained in the material master. This ensures that the inventory value of the batch is consistent and stable1

The other options are incorrect because:

• The effective costs are not posted to the respective batch (valuation type). The batch valuation is based on the standard price, not the actual costs of the refurbishment1
• The goods receipt for the batch refurbished is not posted with the value of the moving average price. The moving average price is only used for batches with price control moving average price, not standard price1

 To set up a scenario for regular maintenance, the first event should take place after 1 year, and after that, it is a regular cycle of 6 months, you have to use the maintenance package offset parameter to map this in the system. The maintenance package offset is used to define the time interval between the start of the maintenance plan and the first call date of the maintenance package1. A maintenance package is a set of data that defines the frequency and scope of the maintenance tasks2.

For example, if you want to create a maintenance plan with two maintenance packages, one for annual inspection and one for semi-annual inspection, you can use the following settings:

• Maintenance package 1: Cycle length = 12 months, Offset = 0 months, Scheduling indicator = Time-based
• Maintenance package 2: Cycle length = 6 months, Offset = 12 months, Scheduling indicator = Time-based

This means that the first maintenance package will be called at the start of the maintenance plan, and then every 12 months thereafter. The second maintenance package will be called after 12 months from the start of the maintenance plan, and then every 6 months thereafter.

The other parameters that are not relevant for this scenario are:

• Package hierarchy: This is used to define the relationship between different maintenance packages within a maintenance plan. It allows you to create nested or parallel maintenance packages that are dependent on each other3.
• Scheduling indicator: This is used to define the type of scheduling for the maintenance package, such as time-based, performance-based, or condition-based4.
• Cycle modification factor: This is used to modify the cycle length of the maintenance package by a certain percentage or factor5.

 A maintenance plant is the organizational unit in which the technical objects to be maintained are physically present. A maintenance plant can be directly assigned to the following objects:

• A maintenance work center, which is a location where maintenance tasks are performed. A maintenance work center can be a person, a group of persons, or a technical object, such as a machine or a vehicle. A maintenance work center is defined by its capacity, availability, and cost rates1
• A storage location, which is a place where spare parts and materials are stored within a plant. A storage location can be a warehouse, a bin, or a shelf. A storage location is defined by its address, stock type, and valuation area2

The other options are incorrect because:

• A maintenance planner group, which is a group of planners who are responsible for planning maintenance activities in a maintenance planning plant. A maintenance planner group is not directly assigned to a maintenance plant, but to a maintenance planning plant. A maintenance planning plant is the organizational unit in which maintenance requirements are planned3
• An organizational unit, which is a generic term for any unit of an organization that performs a specific function or task. An organizational unit can be a company code, a plant, a sales organization, a purchasing organization, etc. An organizational unit is not directly assigned to a maintenance plant, but to a higher-level organizational unit, such as a company code or a controlling area.
