In SAP Plant Maintenance (PM), cross-plant planning is a scenario where maintenance activities are planned centrally for multiple locations. The organizational structure requires designating a single plant as the "planning plant," which is responsible for all planning activities. Other plants, where the technical objects are physically located and maintenance work is executed, are designated as "maintenance plants." The required assignment in the system configuration is to link these multiple maintenance plants to the single, central planning plant. This allows for the consolidation of planning expertise and resources.

A. A planner group is an entity within a planning plant responsible for specific tasks; it is not assigned directly to maintenance plants.

C. This is the reverse of the correct structure. A single maintenance plant is planned by only one planning plant, not multiple.

D. A planner group is defined for and assigned to a single planning plant; it cannot be assigned to multiple planning plants.

Organizational Structures in Plant Maintenance: "In cross-plant planning

one plant (the planning plant) is responsible for planning for several other plants (maintenance plants). To enable this

you must assign the maintenance plants to the planning plant." (This concept is detailed in the sections describing Planning Plant and Maintenance Plant relationships).

Maintenance Planning Plant: "A maintenance planning plant is a plant in which maintenance tasks are planned. If you have a central maintenance planning system

you can plan the maintenance tasks for several plants in one maintenance planning plant. The plants for which maintenance tasks are planned are assigned to the maintenance planning plant as maintenance plants."
