• Key Concepts: 
  Propagation range 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 scope of a planning run, which determines the data that will be included in the planning process. The propagation range can be set to include all data, or it can be limited to specific data sets. 
  
  How to use it: 
  To set the propagation range, go to the PPS component of SCM and select the “Planning Run” option. From there, you can select the “Propagation Range” tab and choose which data sets you want to include in the planning run. You can also specify whether you want to include all data or just specific data sets. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When setting the propagation range, it is important to consider which data sets are most important for your planning process. If you are only interested in certain data sets, it may be more efficient to limit the propagation range to those specific data sets rather than including all data.
