PM-PCS Interface (PM-EQM-SF-MPC) 
You can use this interface to transfer measurement and counter readings from feeder systems into the SAP System. In the SAP System, data is saved in measurement documents and can be used by both the PM (Plant Maintenance) and CS (Customer Service) application components.
Uses in the SAP system:
· Performance-based, planned maintenance enables you to plan maintenance activities based on counter readings that are maintained for your technical objects.
· In the case of condition-based maintenance, maintenance-relevant events are recognized by an external system. By transferring these events to the PM-PCS interface, malfunction notifications can be created in the SAP System.
· You can use measurement documents to record information that is necessary for plant safety, job safety and environmental protection.
· From Release 4.0, you can also use measurement documents as the basis for consumption billing for real estate management.
Possible feeder systems:
· Portable data entry systems
· Process Control Systems (PCS)
Building control systems
· SCADA systems (Supervisory Control And Data Acquisition Systems)
