• Key Concepts: 
  Corrective maintenance is a type of maintenance in the Plant Maintenance (PM) component of SAP that is used to fix errors or malfunctions in existing systems. It is a reactive approach to maintenance, as it is only used when a problem has already occurred. It involves identifying the cause of the problem, fixing it, and then testing the system to ensure that the problem has been resolved. 
  
  How to use it: 
  In order to use corrective maintenance in SAP PM, you must first identify the cause of the problem. This can be done by analyzing the system logs or by running diagnostic tests. Once the cause has been identified, you can then create a corrective maintenance order in SAP PM. This order will contain all of the necessary information for resolving the issue, such as parts and labor required. Once the order is created, it can be assigned to a technician who will then carry out the necessary repairs. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When creating a corrective maintenance order in SAP PM, it is important to include as much detail as possible. This will help ensure that all of the necessary parts and labor are included in the order and that the technician has all of the information they need to complete the repairs quickly and efficiently. Additionally, it is important to keep track of all corrective maintenance orders so that any recurring issues can be identified and addressed quickly.
