• Key Concepts: 
  Allocation factor is a numerical value used to determine the amount of a resource that is allocated to a particular production order. It is used in the Fiori UI for Production Allocation (PP-FIO-PN-ALN) component of SAP. The allocation factor is calculated based on the total amount of resources available and the amount of resources required for the production order. 
  
  How to use it: 
  The allocation factor can be used to determine how much of a resource should be allocated to a production order. To do this, the total amount of resources available must be determined, as well as the amount of resources required for the production order. The allocation factor is then calculated by dividing the total amount of resources available by the amount of resources required for the production order. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When calculating the allocation factor, it is important to ensure that all resources are accounted for. This includes both physical and non-physical resources such as labor, materials, and energy. Additionally, it is important to consider any potential constraints that may affect the availability of resources when calculating the allocation factor.
