  Key Concepts: 
  Condition is a feature of the Plant Maintenance (PM) component of SAP that allows users to define and store conditions for technical objects. These conditions can be used to trigger maintenance activities, such as preventive maintenance or repair orders. Conditions can be based on time, usage, or other criteria. 
  
  How to use it: 
  To use conditions in PM, users must first define the condition types they want to use. This includes setting up the condition class, which determines the type of condition (time-based, usage-based, etc.). Once the condition types are set up, users can create individual conditions and assign them to technical objects. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When creating conditions, it is important to consider how they will be used in the future. For example, if a condition is based on time, it should be set up with an appropriate interval so that maintenance activities are triggered at the right time.
