  Key Concepts: 
  Co-product is a term used in the Production Planning for Process Industries (PP-PI) component of SAP. It refers to a product that is produced as a by-product of another product. Co-products are typically produced in the same process as the main product, but are not the main focus of the production process.

  In SAP PP-PI, co-products can be used to track and manage the production of multiple products in a single process. This allows for more efficient production planning and cost management. Co-products can also be used to track the production of by-products, such as waste materials or other materials that are not the main focus of the production process.
