Hi there, I am at a facility that uses an outdated version of MP2 for the PM scheduling, they do not use the work order module or the inventory control module. The inventory and PO system is accomplished with SAP. My first thought is to move PM scheduling into SAP and initiate the work order system in SAP too.

Can I get feedback on the pro's and con's from present/past users of SAP CMMS.

Thank you.

SAP is very difficult to use, and difficult to setup. You have to learn all sorts of different codes like IW20, IW28, etc. to begin using SAP as a CMMS.

I recommend shopping around for a CMMS that has an SAP Partnership. This is what my company provides at TRACTIAN, and there are a lot of options on the market.

for your use case, the PR/PO Process can be done in any good CMMS, then your CMMS provider can setup integrations to give SAP the data it needs, and even feed it back to your CMMS.

Dont settle, you'll spend 4x more with SAP, it will take longer, and your users will have a very tough time learning it.

Agree that SAP is not the easiest or friendliest to use and there are other interfaces in the market, like Prometheus, that will increase acceptance and shorten the learning curve. As with any transition, take a moment to assess the quality of your master data (taxonomy, asset register, tactics, PM plans, BOMs, etc.), which if not addressed beforehand will create havoc and further delays in the adoption of the new P&S tool.
