  Planning check is a feature in SAP Production Planning and Control (PP) that allows users to check the feasibility of a production plan. It checks the availability of materials, capacity, and other resources to ensure that the plan is feasible. It also checks for any conflicts between the plan and existing orders or other plans. 
  
  How to use it: 
  To use the planning check feature, users must first enter their production plan into the system. This includes entering the materials, capacity, and other resources needed for the plan. Once this is done, users can then run the planning check to see if the plan is feasible. The system will then provide feedback on any conflicts or issues that need to be addressed before the plan can be implemented.

This includes any existing orders or plans that may conflict with the new plan. Additionally, it is important to double-check that all materials and resources needed for the plan are available before running the check.
