• Key Concepts: 
  Supply Limit is a feature of the Capable-to-Match (CTM) component of SAP's Supply Chain Management (SCM), Advanced Planning and Optimization (APO), and Supply and Demand Matching (SDM) modules. It allows users to set a limit on the amount of supply that can be allocated to a particular demand. This helps to ensure that the supply chain is not overburdened and that resources are used efficiently.
  
  How to Use It: 
  To use the Supply Limit feature, users must first define the supply limit in the CTM module. This can be done by setting a maximum quantity for each demand item. Once the limit is set, the system will automatically allocate the supply to meet the demand up to the limit. If there is more demand than can be met by the supply limit, then the system will alert users so that they can take appropriate action.
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When setting a supply limit, it is important to consider both current and future demand. This will help ensure that there is enough supply available to meet future needs without overburdening the system. Additionally, it is important to monitor the supply limit regularly to ensure that it is still appropriate for current conditions.
  
  Related Information: 
  The Supply Limit feature is closely related to other features of SAP's SCM, APO, and SDM modules such as Capacity Planning, Demand Planning, and Inventory Management. These features can be used in conjunction with Supply Limit to ensure that resources are used efficiently and that demand is met in a timely manner.
