• Key Concepts: 
  A fixing indicator is a feature of the Product Planning Table (PPT) in SAP's Supply Chain Management - Advanced Planner and Optimizer (SCM-APO-PPS). It is used to indicate whether a particular planning table entry is fixed or variable. A fixed entry is one that cannot be changed, while a variable entry can be changed. 
  
  How to use it: 
  The fixing indicator can be used to control the planning process. For example, if a particular entry in the PPT is marked as fixed, then it will not be changed during the planning process. This can be useful for ensuring that certain values remain constant throughout the planning process. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When using the fixing indicator, it is important to remember that it only applies to the PPT and not to other parts of the SCM-APO-PPS system. Therefore, if a value needs to remain constant throughout the entire planning process, it should be marked as fixed in all relevant parts of the system.
