When configuring a new maintenance plan category in SAP S/4HANA (transaction OMP2), several key parameters are defined to control the behavior of maintenance plans assigned to it. These include the Call object, which specifies what is generated when a maintenance call is due (e.g., a maintenance order or a notification). If the call object is an order, the Order type must be specified. Additionally, scheduling parameters are set, such as the "Completion requirement" indicator, which determines if the actual Completion date of the preceding order is mandatory for scheduling the next call, thus making it a critical control parameter.

B. Maintenance activity type: This is defined in the header of the maintenance task list, which is then assigned to a maintenance item in the plan, not in the maintenance plan category itself.

E. Change documents: The activation of change documents for maintenance plans is a general system setting for the object class and is not a parameter configured within the maintenance plan category definition.

1. SAP Help Portal - Maintenance Plan Category: "In Customizing for Plant Maintenance and Customer Service

you can define the maintenance plan categories you require... For each maintenance plan category

you must specify which call object the system should generate for a maintenance call." This confirms the Call object parameter.

2. SAP Help Portal - Configure Maintenance Plan Categories: The configuration settings for a maintenance plan category explicitly require an Order type if the call object is a maintenance order.

3. SAP Help Portal - Scheduling Parameters for a Maintenance Plan: "Completion requirement: If you set this indicator

the preceding maintenance call object (for example

maintenance order) must be completed before the system can generate the next maintenance call object." This setting

available in the plan and often defaulted from the category

makes the Completion date a key controlling parameter.
