• Key Concepts: 
  Sequence in SAP Production Planning and Control (PP) is a tool used to define the order of operations for production orders. It allows users to define the sequence of operations that must be completed in order for a production order to be completed. This includes defining the sequence of activities, such as material preparation, machine setup, and quality control. 
  
  How to use it: 
  Sequence in PP can be used to define the order of operations for production orders. To do this, users must first create a sequence profile, which is a template that defines the sequence of operations for a particular production order. Once the sequence profile is created, it can be assigned to a production order. The sequence profile will then be used to determine the order of operations for that production order. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When creating a sequence profile, it is important to consider the resources available and the time required for each operation. This will help ensure that the sequence of operations is optimized for efficiency and accuracy. Additionally, it is important to consider any safety or quality requirements when creating a sequence profile.
