  Key Concepts: 
  Position restriction is a feature of Model Mix Planning (MMP) in SAP Advanced Planning and Optimization (APO). It allows users to limit the number of positions that can be planned for a particular product in a given period. This helps to ensure that the planned production does not exceed the available capacity. 
  
  How to use it: 
  Position restriction can be set up in the MMP planning area. The user can specify the maximum number of positions that can be planned for each product in each period. This number can be adjusted as needed to ensure that the planned production does not exceed the available capacity. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  It is important to remember that position restriction only applies to the MMP planning area and not to other areas of APO. Therefore, it is important to ensure that position restriction is set up correctly in order to avoid over-production.
