Answer: B

Explanation:

The action log is a function that allows you to view the changes that were made to fields during the processing of an order or a piece of equipment. The action log shows you the date, time, user, sub- object, field name, old value, and new value of each change. To enable entries in the action log of a piece of equipment, you need to activate the change documents for the equipment category. The equipment category is a classification of equipment that determines the data that can be maintained for the equipment. The change documents are records of the changes that are made to the data of the equipment. You can activate the change documents for the equipment category in the Customizing for Technical Objects under Equipment Define Equipment Categories. You do not need to define history related fields in the usage period customizing, as this is only relevant for the equipment history. The equipment history is a function that allows you to view the usage periods of the equipment, such as the installation, removal, or transfer dates. The history related fields are fields that are relevant for the equipment history, such as the functional location, the maintenance plant, or the cost center. You can define the history related fields in the Customizing for Technical Objects under Equipment Define History-Related Fields for Usage Periods. You do not need to define or activate the change documents for the equipment reference category, as this is only relevant for the equipment reference. The equipment reference is a function that allows you to link a piece of equipment to another object, such as a material, a serial number, or a document. The equipment reference category is a classification of equipment references that determines the data that can be maintained for the equipment reference. You can define the equipment reference category in the Customizing for Technical Objects under Equipment Define Equipment Reference Categories. You can activate the change documents for the equipment reference category in the Customizing for Technical Objects under Equipment Define Change Documents for Equipment Reference Categories.
