  Key Concepts: 
  A bucket is a time period used in the Production Planning and Detailed Scheduling (PPS) component of SAP's Supply Chain Management (SCM) application. Buckets are used to group together similar activities and tasks, such as production orders, into a single unit. This allows for more efficient planning and scheduling of resources. 
  
  How to use it: 
  In order to use buckets in PPS, you must first define the buckets in the system. This can be done by setting up the bucket profile in the system. Once the profile is set up, you can assign activities and tasks to the buckets. This will allow you to plan and schedule resources more efficiently. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When setting up buckets, it is important to consider how long each activity or task will take. This will help you determine how many buckets you need and how long each bucket should be. Additionally, it is important to consider how resources will be allocated across different buckets.
