• Key Concepts: 
  Push production is a production planning and scheduling technique used in SAP's SCM-APO-PPS Production Planning and Detailed Scheduling component. It is based on the idea of pushing production orders through the system, rather than pulling them through. This means that the system will automatically create production orders based on the demand for a product, rather than waiting for a customer to place an order. 
  
  How to use it: 
  In order to use push production, you must first set up the system with the necessary parameters. This includes setting up the product structure, defining the production process, and setting up the demand planning parameters. Once these are in place, you can then create a push production order. This order will be based on the demand for a product and will be automatically created by the system. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When using push production, it is important to ensure that all of the necessary parameters are set up correctly. This includes setting up the product structure, defining the production process, and setting up the demand planning parameters. Additionally, it is important to monitor the system regularly to ensure that all orders are being created correctly and that there are no delays in production.
