• Key Concepts: 
  Proxy product is a feature of the Predictive MRP (PP-PMR) component of SAP. It allows users to create a “proxy” or substitute product for a material that is not available in the system. This proxy product can then be used in the MRP process instead of the original material. 
  
  How to use it: 
  To use the proxy product feature, users must first create a proxy product in the system. This can be done by entering the material number, description, and other relevant information into the system. Once the proxy product is created, it can be used in the MRP process instead of the original material. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When creating a proxy product, it is important to make sure that all relevant information is entered correctly. This will ensure that the proxy product is used correctly in the MRP process. Additionally, it is important to keep track of which materials have been replaced with proxy products, as this will help ensure that all materials are accounted for in the MRP process.
