  Key Concepts: 
  Restriction in Model Mix Planning (MMP) is a feature that allows users to limit the number of products that can be produced in a given period. This helps to ensure that the production process is efficient and cost-effective. It also helps to prevent overproduction, which can lead to excess inventory and higher costs. 
  
  How to use it: 
  Restrictions can be set up in the MMP module of SAP SCM-APO-PPS. The user can specify the maximum number of products that can be produced in a given period, as well as the minimum and maximum production levels for each product. The user can also set up restrictions on the total production capacity for a given period. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When setting up restrictions, it is important to consider the current demand for each product and the production capacity of the facility. This will help ensure that the restrictions are set up correctly and that production is not over or under capacity. Additionally, it is important to regularly review and adjust restrictions as needed to ensure that production remains efficient and cost-effective.
