• Key Concepts: 
  Sequence-dependent setup activity is a feature of the Production Planning and Detailed Scheduling (PPS) component of SAP's Supply Chain Management (SCM) module. It allows users to define the sequence of activities that must be completed in order to produce a certain product. This sequence is then used to determine the most efficient way to produce the product. 
  
  How to use it: 
  To use sequence-dependent setup activity, users must first define the activities that must be completed in order to produce a certain product. This can be done by creating a sequence of activities in the PPS component. Once the sequence is defined, users can then use it to determine the most efficient way to produce the product. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When defining the sequence of activities, it is important to consider the resources that are available and how they can be used most effectively. Additionally, it is important to consider any constraints that may affect production, such as time or cost constraints.
