• Key Concepts: 
  Variable overview is a feature in SAP Production Planning and Control (PP) that allows users to view and manage all the variables associated with a production order. It provides an overview of all the variables related to a production order, such as material, capacity, and cost. This feature helps users to quickly identify any discrepancies or problems with the production order. 
  
  How to use it: 
  To access the variable overview, go to the Production Order menu in SAP PP. Select the “Variables” tab and then select “Overview”. This will open up the variable overview page which displays all the variables associated with the production order. From here, users can view and edit any of the variables as needed. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When using the variable overview, it is important to remember that any changes made to a variable will be reflected in all other related variables. For example, if you change the quantity of a material, this will also affect the cost of the production order. Therefore, it is important to double-check all changes before saving them.
