• Key Concepts: 
  K-in-M restriction is a feature of Model Mix Planning (MMP) in SAP Advanced Planning and Optimization (APO). It is used to limit the number of products that can be produced in a given period. For example, if a company has a K-in-M restriction of 3, then only three products can be produced in a given period. 
  
  How to use it: 
  The K-in-M restriction can be set up in the MMP planning area. The user can specify the number of products that can be produced in a given period. The system will then automatically limit the number of products that can be produced in that period. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  It is important to consider the impact of the K-in-M restriction on the overall production plan. If the restriction is too restrictive, it may lead to an inefficient production plan. It is also important to consider the impact of the restriction on other areas such as inventory management and customer service.
