• Key Concepts: 
  Decision groups are used in the Production Planning and Detailed Scheduling (PPS) component of SAP's Supply Chain Management (SCM) application. They are used to group together related planning decisions, such as production orders, purchase orders, and sales orders. Decision groups allow users to quickly and easily make decisions about multiple related items at once. 
  
  How to use it: 
  To create a decision group, users must first define the criteria for the group. This includes the type of decision (production order, purchase order, etc.), the time frame for the decision, and any other relevant criteria. Once the criteria have been defined, users can then add items to the decision group. The items can be added manually or automatically based on the criteria. Once all of the items have been added, users can then make decisions about them as a group. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When creating a decision group, it is important to ensure that all of the items in the group are related in some way. This will help ensure that decisions made about the group are relevant and accurate. Additionally, it is important to keep track of any changes made to the decision group over time. This will help ensure that decisions remain up-to-date and accurate. 
  
  Related Information: 
  Decision groups are closely related to other features in SAP's SCM application, such as production orders and purchase orders. Additionally, they can be used in conjunction with other features such as capacity planning and resource planning. Understanding how these features work together can help users make more informed decisions about their supply chain management processes.
