Fleet management is extremely popular within the industry where many vehicles are used, it’s used to keep track of vehicle usage, fuel consumption, etc.
In this blog, you will learn the essential steps to monitor consumption in fleet management using the PM (Plant Maintenance) module. I am trying to explain the steps used to set up fleet management along with creating the necessary master data and running a full transaction with inventory update. I hope that the reader can follow these detailed steps to grasp and configure SAP fleet management.
