• Key Concepts: 
  Milestone Confirmation is a feature in SAP Production Planning and Control (PP) that allows users to confirm the completion of a milestone in a production order. This confirmation is used to track the progress of the production order and can be used to trigger further actions, such as releasing materials or triggering other processes. 
  
  How to use it: 
  To use Milestone Confirmation, users must first create a production order and assign it to a milestone. Once the milestone is reached, users can confirm the completion of the milestone by entering the confirmation code in the system. This will trigger any further actions that are associated with the milestone. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  It is important to ensure that all milestones are properly assigned and confirmed in order to ensure that all processes are triggered correctly. Additionally, it is important to ensure that all milestones are properly documented so that they can be easily tracked and monitored.
