• Key Concepts: 
  SKU group is a term used in the Production Planning and Control (PP) component of SAP. It is a grouping of materials that have similar characteristics, such as size, color, or shape. This grouping allows for easier management of materials and helps to reduce inventory costs. 
  
  How to use it: 
  In SAP, SKU groups are created in the PP component. The user can assign materials to a SKU group by entering the material number and the SKU group code. The user can also assign a description to the SKU group for easier identification. Once the SKU group is created, it can be used to manage inventory levels and production planning. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When creating SKU groups, it is important to consider how materials will be used in production. This will help ensure that the correct materials are assigned to each SKU group and that inventory levels are managed efficiently. Additionally, it is important to keep SKU groups up-to-date as materials may need to be added or removed from a group over time. 
  
  Related Information: 
  SKU groups are closely related to material master records in SAP. Material master records contain detailed information about each material, such as its size, color, shape, and other characteristics. This information can be used to create SKU groups that accurately reflect the characteristics of each material. Additionally, SKU groups can be used in conjunction with other features of SAP such as production planning and inventory management.
