• Key Concepts: 
  Infinite sequencing is a feature of the Production Planning and Detailed Scheduling (PPS) component of SAP's Supply Chain Management (SCM) application. It is used to determine the optimal sequence of production orders in order to maximize efficiency and minimize costs. It takes into account factors such as material availability, capacity constraints, and customer demand. 
  
  How to use it: 
  Infinite sequencing can be used to create a production plan that meets customer demand while minimizing costs. It can be used to determine the optimal sequence of production orders, taking into account factors such as material availability, capacity constraints, and customer demand. The user can also specify additional criteria such as due dates, priority levels, and resource availability. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When using infinite sequencing, it is important to consider all relevant factors such as material availability, capacity constraints, customer demand, due dates, priority levels, and resource availability. This will ensure that the production plan created is optimal and cost-effective. Additionally, it is important to regularly review the production plan to ensure that it is still meeting customer demand and minimizing costs.
