• Key Concepts: 
  Bucket schema is a feature of the Production Planning and Detailed Scheduling (PPS) component of SAP's Supply Chain Management (SCM) application. It is used to group together related activities in a production process, such as material requirements planning (MRP), capacity planning, and scheduling. The bucket schema allows for the efficient management of resources and activities by providing a visual representation of the production process. 
  
  How to use it: 
  The bucket schema is used to define the sequence of activities in a production process. It consists of a series of buckets, each representing an activity or step in the process. The buckets are connected by arrows that indicate the order in which the activities should be performed. The bucket schema can be used to plan and manage resources, as well as to optimize production processes. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When creating a bucket schema, it is important to consider the resources available and the sequence of activities that will be required to complete the production process. It is also important to consider any constraints that may affect the production process, such as time or cost constraints.
