• Key Concepts: 
  A superior order in SAP Plant Maintenance (PM) is a type of maintenance order that is used to group together multiple subordinate orders. It is used to manage the overall progress of the subordinate orders, and to provide an overview of the entire maintenance process. The superior order can be used to track the progress of the subordinate orders, and to ensure that all tasks are completed in a timely manner. 
  
  How to use it: 
  In SAP PM, a superior order can be created by selecting the “Create Superior Order” option from the menu. This will open a new window where you can enter the details of the superior order, such as its description, start date, and end date. Once the details have been entered, you can then add subordinate orders to the superior order. These subordinate orders can be created manually or imported from an external system. 
  
  Once all of the subordinate orders have been added, you can then view the progress of each order in the superior order overview. This will allow you to track the progress of each subordinate order and ensure that all tasks are completed in a timely manner. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When creating a superior order, it is important to ensure that all of the subordinate orders are properly linked to it. This will ensure that any changes made to one of the subordinate orders will be reflected in the superior order overview. Additionally, it is important to keep track of any changes made to the superior order itself, as this could affect the progress of its subordinate orders.
