• Key Concepts: 
  A remnant package is a type of procurement planning in SAP. It is used to plan the procurement of materials that are not part of a larger package. This type of planning is used when the material is not part of a larger package, or when the material is needed in smaller quantities than what is available in a larger package. 
  
  How to use it: 
  In SAP, remnant packages are created by selecting the “Create Remnant Package” option from the procurement planning menu. This will open up a window where you can enter the details of the material you want to purchase, such as quantity, price, and delivery date. Once you have entered all the details, you can save the package and it will be added to your procurement plan. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When creating a remnant package, it is important to make sure that all the details are accurate and up-to-date. This will ensure that you get the best possible price for the material and that it arrives on time. Additionally, it is important to keep track of all your remnant packages so that you can easily find them when needed.
