The SAP Plant Maintenance comprises of the following activities such as inspection, to

measures and establish the actual condition of a technical system, preventive maintenance
to measures and maintain the ideal condition of a technical system, repair to measures
and restore the ideal condition of a technical system and other measures that need to be
taken using the maintenance organization.
SAP PM is closely integrated with other modules (for example, Materials Management,
Production, Sales and Distribution, Personnel Management, and Controlling) the data is
always kept current and processes that are necessary for Plant Maintenance and Customer
Service are automatically triggered in other areas (for example, a purchase requisition for
non-stock material in the Materials Management/Purchasing area).

NBIA PM Developments :
Reports :We have developed three reports for creation of notification in the event of an
alarm or break down for the various equipments which are located in the PTC
(Passenger Terminal Complex) complex. These notifications are triggered based on the
data received from SCADA, BAS, and FDA through WEB methods. Notifications are to
be triggered only for critical alarms which hamper the operations of the airport.
Layouts : 1. Notification details layout
2. Notification task details
3. Material Requisition layout
4. Maintenance Order details layout

Tips by : Bill
Differentiate between reference functional location and functional locatrion.
Reference Function location is a logical Function location its not a physical functional
location like a functional location.
You can not install an equipment to an reference functional location since it is not a
physical location.
Reference functional location is used when you want to create several similar functional
location.
Assume our Structural indicator is xxxx-xxxx-xxxx If you need to create serveral
functional location in the second hierarchy level like xxxx-ABCD, xxxx-EFGH, xxxxIJKL etc (any no of FL)
You need not enter the details like structural indicator , location , plant, main work
center, mainteanace plant etc everytime you create a new FL with these common datas.
Instead you create RFL like AAAA-BBBB give these common datas and use this RFL as
reference for new FL you create.
This triggers horizontal data transfer for all the FL you created through reference to this
RFL.

It save lots of time while giving data. Also if you need to modify a data, you can modified
at only one level ie RFL it automatically gets copied to all the FL that has referenced. So
data maintenance is global.
