  Equipment status is a feature of the Plant Maintenance (PM) component of SAP software. It is used to track the current condition of an equipment item, such as whether it is in use, out of service, or in need of repair. The status of an equipment item can be changed manually or automatically based on certain conditions. 
  
  How to Use It: 
  To use the equipment status feature, first create an equipment item in the PM component. Then assign a status to the item, such as “in use” or “out of service”. The status can be changed manually or automatically based on certain conditions. For example, if an equipment item is out of service for more than a certain amount of time, its status can be automatically changed to “in need of repair”.

  It is important to keep track of the status of equipment items in order to ensure that they are being used properly and that any necessary repairs are being made in a timely manner. To make this easier, it is possible to set up automatic notifications when an equipment item’s status changes. This can help ensure that any necessary repairs are made quickly and efficiently.
