• Key Concepts: 
  Rescheduling is a feature of the Production Planning and Detailed Scheduling (PPS) component of SAP's Supply Chain Management (SCM) module. It allows users to adjust the production plan in order to meet changing customer demands or other external factors. This can be done by changing the start and end dates of production orders, or by changing the order quantity. 
  
  How to use it: 
  In order to use rescheduling, users must first create a production plan in the PPS component. This plan should include all relevant information such as customer orders, material availability, and capacity constraints. Once the plan is created, users can then use the rescheduling feature to adjust the plan as needed. This can be done manually or automatically using the rescheduling algorithms provided by SAP. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When using rescheduling, it is important to consider all relevant factors such as customer demand, material availability, and capacity constraints. Additionally, it is important to consider the impact of any changes on other parts of the supply chain. For example, if a production order is rescheduled to start later than originally planned, this could have an impact on downstream operations such as shipping and delivery.
