  Key Concepts: 
  Materials planning procedure (MMP) is a component of SAP's Advanced Planner and Optimizer (APO) module. It is used to plan and optimize the production of materials in a manufacturing environment. MMP helps to ensure that the right materials are available at the right time and in the right quantities. It also helps to reduce costs by optimizing the use of resources. 
  
  How to use it: 
  MMP can be used to plan and optimize the production of materials in a manufacturing environment. It can be used to create a production plan that takes into account the availability of materials, the cost of production, and other factors. The production plan can then be used to generate orders for materials and components, as well as to schedule production activities. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When using MMP, it is important to consider all factors that may affect the production process. This includes the availability of materials, the cost of production, and other factors such as lead times and delivery times. It is also important to consider any constraints that may affect the production process, such as capacity constraints or resource constraints.
