• Key Concepts: 
  Superior Equipment is a term used in SAP Plant Maintenance (PM) to refer to a piece of equipment that is higher in the hierarchy than the equipment it is connected to. It is used to define the relationship between two pieces of equipment, with the superior equipment being the parent and the subordinate equipment being the child. 
  
  How to use it: 
  In SAP PM, superior equipment can be used to define relationships between two pieces of equipment. This allows for better organization and tracking of maintenance activities. To create a superior-subordinate relationship, you must first create a master record for each piece of equipment. Then, you can assign one piece of equipment as the superior and the other as the subordinate. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When creating a superior-subordinate relationship, it is important to ensure that all relevant information is included in each master record. This includes details such as serial numbers, model numbers, and other technical specifications. Additionally, it is important to keep track of any changes that are made to the relationship over time.
