• Key Concepts: 
  A block in SAP SCM-APO-SNP Supply Network Planning (SNP) is a set of related activities that are grouped together and planned as a single unit. Blocks are used to represent the production process, such as the production of a certain product or the assembly of a certain component. Blocks can also be used to represent the transportation process, such as the shipment of goods from one location to another. 
  
  How to use it: 
  Blocks can be used to plan and optimize production and transportation processes. They can be used to define the sequence of activities, assign resources, and set deadlines for each activity. Blocks can also be used to track progress and identify potential bottlenecks in the production or transportation process. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When creating blocks, it is important to consider the dependencies between activities. For example, if one activity must be completed before another can begin, then these activities should be grouped together in the same block. This will ensure that all activities are completed in the correct order.
