• Key Concepts: 
  Pegging type 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 relationship between a production order and its components, such as materials, operations, and resources. Pegging type determines how the components are linked to the production order and how they are planned. 
  
  How to use it: 
  The pegging type is set in the production order header. It can be changed at any time during the planning process. The pegging type can be set to either “fixed” or “floating”. When set to “fixed”, all components are linked to the production order and cannot be changed. When set to “floating”, components can be changed or added during the planning process. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When setting the pegging type, it is important to consider how much flexibility is needed in the planning process. If there is a need for flexibility, then it is best to set the pegging type to “floating”. This will allow for changes or additions to be made during the planning process.
