• Key Concepts: 
  Capable-to-Match (CTM) is a component of SAP's Supply Chain Management (SCM) Advanced Planning and Optimization (APO) suite. It is used to optimize the supply chain by matching customer demand with available supply.

  CTM can be used to create a plan for how to best match customer demand with available supply. This plan can then be used to create orders and shipments that meet customer requirements while minimizing costs and lead times. CTM can also be used to monitor inventory levels and adjust the plan accordingly. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When using CTM, it is important to ensure that the data being used is accurate and up-to-date. This will help ensure that the plan created is as efficient as possible.
