Shutdown maintenance software
PM Run organizes the shutdown orders in the Gantt of the official schedule, distributes them by capacity and takes execution to the field on the phone, online and offline, connected to SAP PM.
What is shutdown maintenance software
Shutdown maintenance software helps plan and execute a large volume of orders concentrated in a short period, with tight capacity and deadlines. PM Run covers this through the Planning module: the official schedule groups the period's orders in a Gantt view, distributes them by capacity and skill, and execution goes to the field through the app. Everything stays connected to SAP PM, which remains the central record of the shutdown.
What PM Run delivers in shutdown planning
The shutdown is run with PM Run's general planning and execution features, applied to the shutdown period. There is no separate shutdown module.
Official schedule in Gantt
Group the period's orders into a schedule, link orders and operations, and see the shutdown in a Gantt view by work center.
Revision in SAP
The official schedule can create a revision in SAP automatically or link an existing revision. The revision is the SAP PM object that gathers the orders of a shutdown into a period.
Capacity by work center
Occupancy by work center, shift hours, percentage already planned and real capacity from confirmations.
Team allocation
Drag and drop the orders onto the worker in Scheduling, or let Manu suggest the allocation by skill, capacity and availability.
Daily shutdown Kanban
Backlog, open, released and in-progress columns to track progress on each day of the shutdown.
Field execution
The order reaches the phone with a checklist and on-the-spot confirmation, online or offline, and the data uploads to SAP.
How to plan and execute the shutdown in PM Run
- 1
Define the period and the work centers
In New schedule, enter the shutdown period, the work centers involved and the order types that fall in scope.
- 2
Link the shutdown orders
Select the orders and operations that are part of the shutdown and link them to the schedule.
- 3
Create or link the revision in SAP
Generate a revision in SAP automatically or point to an existing revision to gather the shutdown orders in the ERP.
- 4
Distribute by capacity and skill
Schedule the orders in the Gantt considering occupancy by work center, and allocate the team by drag and drop or with Manu.
- 5
Execute in the field
The technician receives the order on the phone, follows the checklist and confirms on the spot, online or offline.
- 6
Integrate and track
On approval, PM Run integrates the schedule and the confirmation with SAP PM, with validation in the Integration Log and tracking in the daily Kanban.

| Shutdown stage | In the spreadsheet | With PM Run |
|---|---|---|
| Order scope | Loose list in Excel | Orders linked in the official schedule |
| Object in SAP | No formal link | Revision created or linked in SAP PM |
| Capacity | Estimated by guesswork | Occupancy by work center and real capacity |
| Sequence and dates | Outdated manual Gantt | Gantt of the official schedule |
| Execution | Paper in the field | App online and offline, on-the-spot confirmation |
| Tracking | Meeting and spreadsheet | Daily Kanban and Integration Log |

Frequently asked questions
Does PM Run have a dedicated shutdown module?
PM Run does not sell a separate shutdown module. The shutdown is planned and executed with the Planning and Mobility features: the official schedule groups the period's orders in a Gantt, creates or links the revision in SAP, and the app takes execution to the field.
How does PM Run connect the shutdown to SAP PM?
Through the official schedule, which can create a revision in SAP automatically or fetch an existing one. The revision is the object SAP PM uses to gather the orders of a shutdown into a period; PM Run schedules those orders and integrates with SAP.
Can the shutdown be executed without internet in the field?
Yes. After sync, the app works offline: the technician runs the order, follows the checklist and confirms the service even without signal. When the connection returns, the confirmation uploads to SAP PM.
Does PM Run replace SAP PM in the shutdown?
No. PM Run is the planning and execution layer on top of SAP PM. SAP remains the central record of the shutdown's orders and revision; PM Run organizes the schedule and takes execution to the field.
How do I track progress on the day of the shutdown?
Through the daily execution Kanban, with the columns backlog, open, released and in progress, and through the Integration Log, which records each submission to SAP as success or failure.
