• BIncoming invoices for the order can be processed
• COpen purchase requisitions are marked for deletion.
• DReserved materials are released from the reservation.
• EThe orders settlement rule is executed.

• E

Explanation

When a maintenance order is set to Technically Completed (TECO) in SAP PM, it signals that the physical work is done while financial/procurement activities wrap up - which is exactly why B, C, and D are correct: outstanding invoices tied to already-received goods can still be posted (B), open purchase requisitions are automatically flagged for deletion since no more materials are needed (C), and any reserved-but-unconsumed materials are released back to inventory (D).

Why A is wrong: Time confirmations (labor entries) must be posted before or independently of setting TECO - the status change does not auto-generate a time posting for the technician.

Why E is wrong: Settlement rule execution (transferring order costs to cost centers, assets, etc.) occurs at business completion / order closure (CLSD), not at TECO; TECO only sets the stage for settlement.

Memory tip: Think of TECO as "the wrenches are down, but the paperwork continues" - invoices flow in (B), unneeded orders go out (C), and unused stock returns (D). Settlement and time posting are separate steps that happen around TECO, not because of it.
