• Key Concepts: 
  A work area is a feature of the Supply Chain Cockpit (SCC) component of SAP's Advanced Planning and Optimization (APO) module. It is a graphical user interface (GUI) that allows users to view and manage supply chain data in an organized way. The work area is divided into several sections, each of which contains different types of data. This allows users to quickly access the information they need without having to search through multiple screens.
  
  How to use it: 
  The work area can be accessed by selecting the “Work Area” option from the SCC menu. Once in the work area, users can view and manage supply chain data by selecting the appropriate section. For example, the “Planning” section contains data related to planning activities such as demand forecasting and inventory management. The “Execution” section contains data related to execution activities such as order fulfillment and shipment tracking. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  The work area can be customized to meet individual user needs. Users can add or remove sections, change the order of sections, and adjust the size of each section. This allows users to create a work area that is tailored to their specific needs.
