• Key Concepts: 
  Aging resource is a feature of the Enhanced Maintenance and Service Planning (EMS) component of SAP's Supply Chain Management (SCM) application. It is used to identify and prioritize resources that are aging or becoming obsolete. This helps organizations plan for maintenance and service activities in a timely manner, ensuring that resources are kept up-to-date and in good working order. 
  
  How to use it: 
  Aging resource can be used to identify resources that are aging or becoming obsolete. This can be done by setting up an aging resource rule in the EMS component of SCM. The rule will define the criteria for identifying aging resources, such as age, usage, or condition. Once the rule is set up, the system will automatically identify aging resources and prioritize them for maintenance and service activities. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When setting up an aging resource rule, it is important to consider the criteria that will be used to identify aging resources. For example, if age is used as a criterion, it is important to consider how long a resource should be considered “aging” before it needs to be serviced or replaced. Additionally, it is important to consider how often the rule should be run in order to ensure that aging resources are identified and serviced in a timely manner.
