  • Key Concepts:
    Assembly is a type of maintenance object in SAP Plant Maintenance (PM) that is used to represent a collection of components or parts that are used together to form a larger unit. An assembly can be used to represent a machine, an equipment, or any other type of complex object. 
    
    How to use it:
    In SAP PM, assemblies are created and maintained in the Assembly Builder (transaction code IH01). The Assembly Builder allows users to create assemblies by selecting components from the component catalog and adding them to the assembly. Once an assembly is created, it can be used in maintenance orders and other PM transactions. 
    
    Tips & Tricks:
    When creating an assembly, it is important to ensure that all components are correctly assigned to the assembly. This will ensure that all components are correctly tracked and accounted for when the assembly is used in maintenance orders.
