Are you specifically referring to SAP PM? Are you looking for training materials that cover maintenance processing exclusively, or the entirety of SAP PM? I have completed this course previously. May I ask where in Thailand you are located, and which version of SAP R3 you are utilizing?

Certainly! I am focused on discussing the Project Management Module and other related modules like Materials Management (MM) Module for maintenance supervisors and technicians undergoing training. I am currently employed at The Aromatics (Thailand) PCL in Map Ta Phut Industrial Estate, Thailand, where we use the 4.7 Enterprise software system.

I possess a plethora of SAP PM module training resources in physical format. Are there any SAP PM module experts available for consultation and guidance?

As the expert user of the PM module, I am inquiring because I have limited time to develop training materials and topics.

Are you utilizing recorded playback for training purposes?

In my experience of providing SAP training, I found it beneficial to incorporate a mix of theory and practical examples. For the maintenance team, I'd recommend creating real-life scenarios where they'd need to use SAP, and explain the step-by-step processes on how to handle such situations using the system. Adding a hands-on component will allow for good practice and understanding. Also remember to cater to their specific roles and responsibilities, as a supervisor might require a different level of understanding compared to a technician. Lastly, don't rush the training—make sure you allot time for questions and clarifications.
