SAP PM Predictive Maintenance (Counters)

One thing I notice in this video, you not mention that where will the operator enter the meter reading?

Thank you for your insightful observation, @mr.techguy6738! You've brought up an important point about the process of entering meter readings, which is crucial in managing counter-based maintenance plans in SAP PM. Meter readings are entered through the SAP transaction IK11, which is used for entering measurement readings for a measurement point. After setting up a counter and creating a maintenance plan linked to that counter, as shown in the video, operators would use IK11 to enter new meter readings periodically. These readings update the counter's value, which then triggers maintenance activities based on the thresholds set in the maintenance plan. To enter a meter reading: Go to transaction IK11. Enter the Measurement Point (created during the counter setup) or the Document Date, and then input the new reading value. Save the entry, which updates the counter status and influences the scheduling of maintenance tasks linked to that counter. Your question highlights a key step in the workflow that ensures the maintenance plan remains dynamic and responsive to actual equipment usage. We appreciate your attention to detail and hope this clarifies where and how meter readings are entered in the SAP PM system. For more tips and detailed instructions, stay tuned to our channel!
