  Key Concepts: 
  A repairable spare is a type of spare part used in Plant Maintenance (PM) in SAP. It is a part that can be repaired and reused multiple times, as opposed to a consumable spare, which is used once and then discarded. Repairable spares are typically more expensive than consumable spares, but they can be used for a longer period of time and are more cost-effective in the long run. 
  
  How to use it: 
  In SAP PM, repairable spares are managed using the Repairable Spare Parts Management (RSPM) module. This module allows users to track the status of repairable spares, such as whether they are in use or in storage, and to manage their repair and maintenance. The RSPM module also allows users to track the cost of repairs and maintenance for each repairable spare. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When managing repairable spares in SAP PM, it is important to keep track of their condition and maintenance history. This will help ensure that the spares are in good condition and can be reused multiple times. Additionally, it is important to keep track of the cost of repairs and maintenance for each repairable spare, as this will help determine whether it is more cost-effective to repair or replace the spare.
