• Key Concepts: 
  Requirements view is a feature of the Production Planning and Detailed Scheduling (PPS) component of SAP's Advanced Planner and Optimizer (APO). It is used to view the requirements of a production plan, such as the quantity of materials needed, the timing of production, and the resources required. It also allows users to view the current status of production plans and make adjustments as needed. 
  
  How to use it: 
  Requirements view can be accessed from the APO-PPS menu in SAP. Once in the requirements view, users can select a production plan to view its requirements. The requirements are displayed in a table format, with columns for material, quantity, start date, end date, and resource. Users can then make adjustments to the plan as needed. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When making adjustments to a production plan in requirements view, it is important to consider the impact on other plans. For example, if one plan requires more resources than another, it may be necessary to adjust the timing or quantity of materials for both plans.
