• Key Concepts: 
  An invisible order is a type of order in SAP's SCM-APO-SDM-CTM Capable-to-Match (CTM) module. It is an order that is not visible to the user, but is still processed by the system. The purpose of an invisible order is to ensure that the system can process orders without the user having to manually enter them. 
  
  How to use it: 
  Invisible orders are used in SAP's CTM module to automate the process of matching orders with available inventory. The system will automatically create an invisible order when it detects that there is a need for additional inventory to fulfill an existing order. The invisible order will then be processed by the system and the necessary inventory will be allocated to fulfill the order. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When using invisible orders, it is important to ensure that the system has enough inventory available to fulfill all orders. If there is not enough inventory, then the system may not be able to process the invisible order and it may fail. Additionally, it is important to monitor the status of invisible orders to ensure that they are being processed correctly.
