• Key Concepts: 
  Quantity restriction is a feature of Model Mix Planning (MMP) in SAP Advanced Planning and Optimization (APO). It allows users to limit the quantity of a product that can be produced in a given period. This helps to ensure that production is balanced and that resources are used efficiently. 
  
  How to use it: 
  Quantity restriction can be set up in the MMP module of APO. First, the user must define the product and the period for which the restriction will apply. Then, they must enter the maximum quantity that can be produced in that period. Finally, they must save the settings. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  It is important to remember that quantity restrictions are only applied to products that have already been defined in the MMP module. If a product has not been defined, then it cannot be restricted. Additionally, it is important to keep track of any changes made to quantity restrictions, as these can have an impact on production planning.
