• Key Concepts: 
  Time-continuous capacity is a feature of the Production Planning and Detailed Scheduling (PPS) component of SAP's Supply Chain Management (SCM) module. It allows users to plan production activities in a continuous manner, rather than in discrete time intervals. This allows for more accurate and efficient planning of production activities, as well as better utilization of resources.
  
  How to use it: 
  Time-continuous capacity can be used to plan production activities in a continuous manner. This is done by setting up a production plan that takes into account the available resources, such as machines, personnel, and materials. The plan can then be used to determine the optimal sequence of activities and the best utilization of resources.
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When using time-continuous capacity, it is important to consider the impact of any changes in the production plan on the overall efficiency of the process. It is also important to ensure that all resources are being used in an optimal manner. Additionally, it is important to consider any potential bottlenecks or delays that may occur during the production process.
  
  Related Information: 
  Time-continuous capacity is closely related to other features of SAP's SCM module, such as demand planning and supply chain optimization. Additionally, it can be used in conjunction with other features such as inventory management and order fulfillment.
