hey Sushant,

From my experience of working in Pharma I would say it is pretty much your standard SAP PM processes with the exception of GxP. Due to FDA regulations the equipments have to be classified as GxP critical and various reports are required to show maintenance compliance and lots of auditing.

You may get requirements for master data as well as transactional data to show GxP criticality, the shop papers also need to reflect GxP. The calibration / inspection process is rigorous, standard SAP
calibration functionality may not fulfil all requirements so best to look at alternative solutions such as the calibration solution offered by Beamex or even Meridium. Please have a look at below two URLs for the calibration solution best suited for this industry.
