• Key Concepts: 
  Planned Independent Requirements (PIRs) are a component of SAP Supply and Demand Matching (SDM) in the Advanced Planning and Scheduling (APS) module. PIRs are used to define the demand for a product or service that is not dependent on any other demand. This allows for more accurate forecasting and planning of resources. 
  
  How to use it: 
  PIRs can be used to define the demand for a product or service that is not dependent on any other demand. This allows for more accurate forecasting and planning of resources. The PIRs can be used to create a forecast of future demand, which can then be used to plan production and inventory levels. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When creating PIRs, it is important to consider the seasonality of the product or service being forecasted. This will help ensure that the forecast is as accurate as possible. Additionally, it is important to consider any external factors that may affect the demand for the product or service, such as changes in customer preferences or economic conditions.
