• Key Concepts: 
  Reference resources are used in the Production Planning and Detailed Scheduling (PPS) component of SAP's Supply Chain Management (SCM) module. They are used to define the capacity of a production resource, such as a machine or a work center. This capacity is then used to calculate the production plan and detailed schedule. 
  
  How to use it: 
  Reference resources are created in the PPS component of SCM. They are assigned to a production resource, such as a machine or work center, and their capacity is defined. This capacity is then used to calculate the production plan and detailed schedule. The reference resource can also be used to define the cost of the production resource, which is then used to calculate the cost of the production plan and detailed schedule. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When creating reference resources, it is important to ensure that they accurately reflect the capacity of the production resource they are assigned to. This will ensure that the production plan and detailed schedule are accurate and cost-effective.
