• Key Concepts: 
  A capacity reservation group is a feature of the Production Planning and Detailed Scheduling (PPS) component of SAP's Supply Chain Management (SCM) module. It is used to reserve capacity for a specific production order or process order. The capacity reservation group allows the user to define the amount of capacity that is available for a particular production order or process order. This ensures that the production order or process order does not exceed the available capacity. 
  
  How to use it: 
  To use the capacity reservation group, the user must first create a capacity reservation group in the PPS component of SCM. The user can then assign a production order or process order to the capacity reservation group. This will ensure that the production order or process order does not exceed the available capacity. The user can also adjust the amount of capacity that is available for a particular production order or process order by changing the settings in the capacity reservation group. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  It is important to remember that when creating a capacity reservation group, it is important to set realistic limits on the amount of capacity that is available for a particular production order or process order. This will ensure that the production order or process order does not exceed the available capacity.
