• Key Concepts: 
  Number of cycles is a term used in SAP's IS-AD-PRM Preventive Maintenance component. It refers to the number of times a maintenance task must be performed in order to keep a system running optimally. This number is determined by the manufacturer of the system and is usually based on the system's age, usage, and environment.
