Going by the principle of "as much as is necessary, but as little as possible" it seems that all Equipment in SAP in a plant must have a Maintenance Plan - otherwise why bother including it in the plant if you don't have plans to maintain it? Is this the right approach, or no?
Yes, I appreciate you can do whatever you want based on your organization's needs, but I am trying to understand what would be the "correct" principle/approach for "most cases".
If you don't add Equipment without Maintenance Plans, what do you do when you have an item that you don't think you will need to maintain, so it doesn't have an Equipment number, but one day it breaks down. For example, some pipe inside a wall starts leaking.
Now you must raise a Notification and a Work Order but there is no corresponding Equipment number for this pipe because it was decided that there is no Maintenance Plan for pipes inside walls so it wasn't added as an Equipment.
Would you ask the superuser to simply add the Equipment without a Maintenance Plan so you can record the Notification and Work Order?
