  Key Concepts: 
  Equipment type is a classification of equipment in the Plant Maintenance (PM) component of SAP. It is used to group similar pieces of equipment together and assign them a common set of characteristics. This allows for easier maintenance planning and scheduling, as well as more accurate cost tracking. 
  
  How to use it: 
  Equipment types are created in the SAP system and assigned to individual pieces of equipment. This allows for the grouping of similar pieces of equipment into a single type, which can then be used for maintenance planning and scheduling. Additionally, equipment types can be used to track costs associated with maintenance activities. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When creating an equipment type, it is important to consider the characteristics that are common to all pieces of equipment that will be assigned to that type. This will ensure that the type is accurately assigned and that maintenance activities are properly planned and scheduled.
