• Key Concepts: 
  Choke is a term used in the IS-OIL-PRA-PRD Production Planning component of SAP. It is a type of constraint that limits the amount of material that can be produced in a given period of time. This constraint is used to ensure that production does not exceed the capacity of the production facility. 
  
  How to use it: 
  In order to use choke, you must first define the maximum amount of material that can be produced in a given period of time. This can be done by setting a choke value in the production planning component. Once this value is set, any production orders that exceed this value will be blocked from being processed. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When setting choke values, it is important to consider the capacity of the production facility and the amount of material that needs to be produced. If the choke value is set too low, it may prevent production orders from being processed. On the other hand, if it is set too high, it may lead to overproduction and waste of resources.
