  Key Concepts: 
  Fixing is a feature in SAP Supply Network Planning (SNP) that allows users to lock certain planning parameters, such as the production quantity or delivery date, so that they cannot be changed. This ensures that the planning parameters remain consistent and that the supply chain is not disrupted. 
  
  How to use it: 
  To use fixing in SAP SNP, users must first select the planning parameters they want to lock. This can be done by selecting the “Fix” option in the SNP menu. Once the parameters are selected, users can then click “Save” to save the changes. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When using fixing in SAP SNP, it is important to remember that only certain parameters can be locked. For example, production quantity and delivery date can be locked, but not lead times or safety stock levels. Additionally, it is important to remember that once a parameter is locked, it cannot be changed without first unlocking it.
