• Key Concepts: 
  Tolerance in SAP Plant Maintenance (PM) is a feature that allows users to set a range of acceptable values for certain parameters. This range is used to determine whether a parameter is within acceptable limits or not. For example, if the tolerance for a temperature parameter is set to +/- 5 degrees Celsius, then any temperature readings that fall within this range will be considered acceptable. 
  
  How to use it: 
  In order to use the tolerance feature in SAP PM, users must first define the acceptable range of values for each parameter. This can be done by entering the minimum and maximum values for each parameter in the system. Once these values have been entered, the system will automatically check any readings against these values and determine whether they are within the acceptable range or not. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When setting up tolerances in SAP PM, it is important to ensure that the range of acceptable values is wide enough to cover all possible scenarios. If the range is too narrow, then some readings may be incorrectly flagged as being outside of the acceptable range. It is also important to ensure that the tolerances are set correctly for each parameter, as incorrect settings can lead to inaccurate results.
