• Key Concepts: 
  Infinite scheduling is a production planning and detailed scheduling component of SAP's Supply Chain Management (SCM) Advanced Planner and Optimizer (APO) module. It is used to create a production plan that takes into account the availability of resources, customer demand, and other constraints. It uses a mathematical algorithm to calculate the optimal production plan for a given set of inputs. 
  
  How to use it: 
  Infinite scheduling can be used to create a production plan that meets customer demand while taking into account the availability of resources and other constraints. The user first inputs the desired production plan parameters, such as customer demand, resource availability, and other constraints. The system then uses a mathematical algorithm to calculate the optimal production plan for the given inputs. The user can then review the results and make any necessary adjustments before finalizing the plan. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When using infinite scheduling, it is important to ensure that all relevant parameters are taken into account when creating the production plan. This includes customer demand, resource availability, and any other constraints that may affect the plan. Additionally, it is important to review the results of the calculation before finalizing the plan to ensure that it meets all requirements.
