  Key Concepts: 
  A synchronous call is a type of communication between two systems in which the sender sends a request and waits for a response before continuing. In SAP, this type of communication is used in the Manufacturing, Demand Management, Material Allocation, and Production Planning (MFG-DM-MA-PP) component. 
  
  How to use it: 
  In order to use a synchronous call in the MFG-DM-MA-PP component, the sender must first send a request to the receiver. The receiver then processes the request and sends back a response. The sender then waits for the response before continuing with its task. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When using synchronous calls, it is important to ensure that the sender and receiver are both able to communicate with each other. Additionally, it is important to ensure that the response from the receiver is received in a timely manner so that the sender can continue with its task.
