• Key Concepts: 
  Resource decomposition is a feature of SAP Supply Network Planning (SNP) that allows users to break down a resource into its component parts. This allows users to better understand the resource and its associated costs, as well as to plan and optimize the use of the resource. 
  
  How to use it: 
  Resource decomposition can be used in SNP to break down a resource into its component parts. This can be done by selecting the resource in the SNP planning book and then selecting the “Decompose” option. This will open a window that will allow users to view the components of the resource and their associated costs. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When using resource decomposition, it is important to remember that the cost associated with each component may not be accurate. It is important to double-check the cost of each component before making any decisions based on the decomposition results.
