What is SAP PM?

Full name

SAP Plant Maintenance

Category

Supply Chain & Manufacturing

Typical roles

SAP PM Consultant, SAP EAM Consultant, SAP PM Functional Lead

SAP PM (Plant Maintenance) manages the upkeep of physical assets. It models functional locations and equipment, captures breakdowns through maintenance notifications, and plans and executes work through maintenance orders.

PM helps asset-intensive organisations reduce downtime, plan preventive and condition-based maintenance, control spare parts and maintenance costs, and keep a full maintenance history for each asset.

In S/4HANA, PM is part of Asset Management (EAM). Fiori apps support planners and technicians, and SAP Asset Performance Management and mobile solutions extend predictive and field maintenance.
