  Key Concepts: 
  Fix is a term used in the Production Planning and Detailed Scheduling (PPS) component of SAP's Supply Chain Management (SCM) module. It is used to refer to a fixed quantity of a product that is produced or consumed at a certain point in time. This quantity is determined by the production plan and cannot be changed. 
  
  How to use it: 
  The fix quantity can be set in the production plan for each product. This will determine the amount of the product that will be produced or consumed at each point in time. The fix quantity can be adjusted as needed, but it must remain constant throughout the production process. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  It is important to ensure that the fix quantity is set correctly in order to ensure that the production process runs smoothly. If the fix quantity is too low, there may not be enough of the product available for production, and if it is too high, there may be an excess of the product that cannot be used. 
  
  Related Information: 
  The fix quantity can also be used to calculate other values such as lead times and safety stocks. It is important to understand how these values are calculated in order to ensure that the production process runs efficiently and effectively.
