• Key Concepts: 
  Optimization level is a feature in SAP Production Planning and Manufacturing (PP-MP) that allows users to determine the level of optimization they want to apply to their production plans. It is used to determine the most efficient way to produce a given product or service. The optimization level can be set to either low, medium, or high, depending on the user's needs. 
  
  How to use it: 
  To use the optimization level feature in SAP PP-MP, users must first select the product or service they wish to optimize. Then, they must select the optimization level they wish to apply. Low optimization will produce a plan that is less efficient but faster to generate, while high optimization will produce a plan that is more efficient but takes longer to generate. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When selecting an optimization level, it is important to consider the trade-off between efficiency and speed. If time is of the essence, then a lower optimization level may be preferable. However, if efficiency is more important than speed, then a higher optimization level should be chosen. 
  
  Related Information: 
  The optimization level feature in SAP PP-MP is closely related to other features such as resource planning and capacity planning. These features can be used in conjunction with the optimization level feature to further improve the efficiency of production plans.
