  Key Concepts: 
  Centralized processing is a feature of SAP Plant Maintenance (PM) that allows users to manage and control all maintenance activities from a single, central location. This includes the ability to create and manage work orders, schedule preventive maintenance, and track the progress of maintenance activities. 
  
  How to use it: 
  To use centralized processing in SAP PM, users must first create a master plan for their maintenance activities. This plan should include the type of maintenance activities to be performed, the frequency of those activities, and any other relevant information. Once the master plan is created, users can then create individual work orders for each activity and assign them to the appropriate personnel. The work orders can then be tracked and monitored from the central location. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When using centralized processing in SAP PM, it is important to ensure that all personnel involved in the maintenance activities are properly trained and have access to the necessary resources. Additionally, it is important to keep track of all changes made to the master plan so that any necessary adjustments can be made quickly and easily.
