• Key Concepts: 
  Standard trigger point is a feature in SAP Production Planning and Control (PP) that allows users to define a certain point in the production process at which certain actions should be triggered. This could include the release of materials, the start of production, or the completion of a task. It is used to ensure that all necessary steps are taken in the correct order and at the right time.
  
  How to use it: 
  Standard trigger points can be set up in the PP module by defining a trigger point type and assigning it to a material or production order. The trigger point type defines what action should be taken when the trigger point is reached. Once this is done, the trigger point will be activated when the material or production order reaches that point in its process.
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When setting up standard trigger points, it is important to consider what actions need to be taken and when they should be taken. This will help ensure that all necessary steps are taken in the correct order and at the right time. Additionally, it is important to keep track of which trigger points have been set up and when they were activated so that any changes can be made if needed.
