• Key Concepts: 
  Reservation Planning is a component of SAP's Supply Chain Management (SCM) Advanced Planner and Optimizer (APO) Production Planning and Detailed Scheduling (PPS) module. It enables users to plan and manage the availability of materials for production orders. It helps to ensure that the right materials are available at the right time and in the right quantity. 
  
  How to use it: 
  Reservation Planning allows users to create reservations for materials that are needed for production orders. The system will then check the availability of the materials and determine if they can be used for the order. If there is not enough material available, the system will suggest alternative sources or suggest a different production order. The system also allows users to monitor the status of reservations and adjust them as needed. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When creating reservations, it is important to consider the lead time for each material. This will help ensure that the materials are available when they are needed. It is also important to consider any potential delays or changes in demand that could affect the availability of materials.
