• Key Concepts: 
  Period package creation is a feature of Model Mix Planning (MMP) in SAP's Advanced Planner and Optimizer (APO). It allows users to create packages of planning periods, which can then be used to plan and optimize the production of multiple products. The packages are created based on user-defined criteria, such as product type, production location, and time period. 
  
  How to use it: 
  To create a period package, users must first define the criteria for the package. This includes the product type, production location, and time period. Once the criteria have been defined, users can then create the package by selecting the appropriate products and entering the desired parameters. The package can then be used to plan and optimize production. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When creating a period package, it is important to consider the impact of any changes made to the criteria. For example, if the production location is changed, it may affect the availability of certain products or resources. Additionally, it is important to ensure that all products included in the package are compatible with each other.
