• Key Concepts: 
  Cross-operation relationship is a feature of the Production Planning and Detailed Scheduling (PPS) component of SAP's Supply Chain Management (SCM) module. It allows users to define relationships between different operations in a production process. This helps to ensure that the production process is efficient and that resources are used in the most effective way. 
  
  How to use it: 
  To use the cross-operation relationship feature, users must first define the operations that make up their production process. This can be done by creating a production order or by using the PPS component's graphical user interface. Once the operations have been defined, users can then create relationships between them. This can be done by setting up dependencies between operations, such as specifying that one operation must be completed before another can begin. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When setting up cross-operation relationships, it is important to consider the resources that will be needed for each operation. This will help to ensure that resources are used in the most efficient way possible and that the production process runs smoothly. Additionally, it is important to consider any potential bottlenecks in the production process and plan accordingly.
