• Key Concepts: 
  Propagation level is a setting in SAP Supply Network Planning (SNP) that determines the level of detail used when calculating the supply chain. It is used to determine the amount of detail that is taken into account when calculating the supply chain. The higher the propagation level, the more detailed the calculation will be. 
  
  How to use it: 
  Propagation level can be set in the SNP planning book. The default setting is “Low”, which will take into account only the most basic information when calculating the supply chain. If more detailed calculations are needed, then the propagation level can be set to “Medium” or “High”. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When setting the propagation level, it is important to consider how much detail is needed for the calculation. If too much detail is used, then it can lead to longer calculation times and slower performance. It is also important to note that different settings may be needed for different scenarios.
