• Key Concepts: 
  Restriction category is a feature of Model Mix Planning (MMP) in SAP SCM-APO-PPS. It is used to define the restrictions that are applied to the planning process. Restriction categories can be used to limit the number of products that can be planned, or to limit the amount of resources that can be used for a particular product. 
  
  How to use it: 
  Restriction categories are created in the MMP configuration. The user can define the restrictions that will be applied to the planning process, such as limiting the number of products that can be planned, or limiting the amount of resources that can be used for a particular product. The user can also specify how the restriction categories will be applied, such as whether they will be applied to all products or only certain products. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When creating restriction categories, it is important to consider how they will affect the planning process. For example, if a restriction category is set to limit the number of products that can be planned, it may result in an inefficient use of resources if too many products are planned. It is also important to consider how the restriction categories will interact with other features of MMP, such as product groups and product families.
