  Key Concepts: 
  Decision step is a feature of the Production Planning and Detailed Scheduling (PPS) component of SAP's Supply Chain Management (SCM) module. It is used to define the sequence of decisions that need to be taken in order to plan and schedule production activities. It allows users to define the criteria for each decision, such as the order quantity, delivery date, and production resources. 
  
  How to use it: 
  The decision step feature can be used to create a decision tree that defines the sequence of decisions that need to be taken in order to plan and schedule production activities. The user can define the criteria for each decision, such as the order quantity, delivery date, and production resources. The decision tree can then be used to generate a plan that meets the user's criteria. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When creating a decision tree, it is important to consider all possible scenarios and ensure that all criteria are taken into account. It is also important to consider how changes in one decision may affect other decisions in the tree. Additionally, it is important to ensure that the decision tree is updated regularly in order to reflect any changes in the production environment.
