  A one-time cycle in SAP Plant Maintenance (PM) is a type of maintenance task that is performed only once. This type of task is typically used for preventive maintenance, such as replacing a filter or lubricating a machine. It is also used for corrective maintenance, such as repairing a broken part or replacing a worn-out component.
  
  How to use it: 
  In SAP PM, one-time cycles are created in the Maintenance Planner. The planner allows you to define the task, assign it to a technician, and set the frequency of the task. Once the task is created, it can be scheduled and monitored in the system.

This includes the task description, the technician assigned to the task, and any special instructions or notes that may be needed. Additionally, it is important to ensure that the frequency of the task is set correctly so that it is performed at the right time.
