• Key Concepts: 
  Proxy service area is a feature of the Maintenance and Service Planning (MSP) component of SAP Supply Chain Management (SCM). It is used to define a service area for a specific customer or group of customers. The service area is defined by a set of geographical coordinates, such as latitude and longitude, and can be used to determine the availability of services in a particular area. 
  
  How to use it: 
  The proxy service area feature can be used to define a service area for a customer or group of customers. This can be done by entering the geographical coordinates of the desired service area into the MSP component. Once the coordinates are entered, the system will generate a map showing the service area. The map can then be used to determine which services are available in that particular area. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When defining a proxy service area, it is important to ensure that the geographical coordinates are accurate. This will ensure that the map generated by the system is accurate and that the services available in that particular area are correctly identified. Additionally, it is important to ensure that the service area is large enough to cover all of the customers in that particular region.
