• Key Concepts: 
  A planned order is a type of production order in the SAP system used to plan and manage production activities. It is used in the Production Planning and Detailed Scheduling (PPS) component of SAP's Supply Chain Management (SCM) module. A planned order is created when a material requirement is identified, and it is used to plan the production of that material. 
  
  How to use it: 
  Planned orders are created in the system by entering the material requirements into the system. The system then calculates the necessary production activities and creates a planned order for each activity. The planned orders can then be used to manage the production process, including scheduling, tracking, and reporting. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When creating a planned order, it is important to ensure that all necessary information is entered into the system. This includes the material requirements, production activities, and any other relevant information. Additionally, it is important to ensure that all planned orders are updated regularly to ensure accuracy and efficiency.

Additionally, SAP also offers other modules such as Advanced Planning & Optimization (APO) and Manufacturing Execution (MES) which can be used in conjunction with PPS for more advanced planning and scheduling capabilities.
