• Key Concepts: 
  Severity is a term used in SAP Predictive Maintenance and Service (PM-PDM) to describe the importance of a particular issue or problem. It is used to prioritize tasks and help determine the urgency of a particular issue. Severity is typically assigned on a scale of 1-5, with 1 being the least severe and 5 being the most severe. 
  
  How to use it: 
  When creating a task or issue in PM-PDM, the user will be asked to assign a severity level. This will help prioritize tasks and ensure that the most important issues are addressed first. The severity level can also be used to determine the urgency of an issue and how quickly it needs to be resolved. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When assigning a severity level, it is important to consider the impact of the issue on the overall system. If an issue has the potential to cause major disruption or downtime, it should be assigned a higher severity level. Additionally, if an issue is not critical but still needs to be addressed, it should be assigned a lower severity level. 
  
  Related Information: 
  Severity levels are often used in conjunction with other metrics such as priority and urgency. Priority is used to determine which tasks should be completed first, while urgency is used to determine how quickly a task needs to be completed. Understanding how these metrics work together can help ensure that tasks are completed in an efficient and effective manner.
