• Key Concepts: 
  Simultaneous group is a feature of SAP Manufacturing Execution (MFG-ME) that allows users to group multiple production orders together and process them simultaneously. This feature allows users to reduce the time and effort required to manage multiple production orders, as well as improve the efficiency of production processes.
  
  How to use it: 
  To use the simultaneous group feature, users must first create a production order for each item they wish to produce. Once the orders have been created, they can be grouped together into a simultaneous group. The user can then assign the same resources and operations to all of the orders in the group, allowing them to be processed together.
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When creating a simultaneous group, it is important to ensure that all of the orders in the group are compatible with each other. This means that they should have similar resources and operations assigned to them, as well as similar start and end dates. Additionally, it is important to ensure that all of the orders in the group are ready to be processed before assigning them to a simultaneous group.
