• Key Concepts: 
  Restriction groups are used in Model Mix Planning (MMP) to define the characteristics of a product that can be used in a plan. A restriction group is a collection of characteristics that are used to define the product mix in a plan. For example, a restriction group could be used to define the product mix for a specific customer or region. 
  
  How to use it: 
  In MMP, restriction groups are used to define the characteristics of a product that can be used in a plan. The restriction group is created by selecting the characteristics that should be included in the product mix. Once the restriction group is created, it can be assigned to a plan. This will ensure that only products with the specified characteristics are included in the plan. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When creating a restriction group, it is important to consider the characteristics that are most important for the plan. For example, if the plan is for a specific customer or region, then it may be necessary to include characteristics such as price or availability. Additionally, it is important to consider how the restriction group will affect the overall product mix in the plan.
