• Key Concepts: 
  Node type is a term used in the SAP Procurement Planning (PUR-PRP) component. It is used to define the type of node that is used in the planning process. Node types can be either a source node, which is used to define the source of the material, or a target node, which is used to define the destination of the material. 
  
  How to use it: 
  In order to use node types in SAP Procurement Planning, you must first create a planning network. This network will contain nodes that are connected by arcs. Each node must be assigned a node type, which will determine how it behaves in the planning process. For example, a source node will be used to define where the material will come from, while a target node will be used to define where the material will go. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When creating a planning network, it is important to make sure that all nodes are assigned the correct node type. This will ensure that the planning process runs smoothly and efficiently. Additionally, it is important to remember that each node can only have one node type assigned to it at any given time.
