SAP Term: SNP priority profile

• Component: SCM-APO-SNP

• Component Name: Supply Network Planning (SNP)

• Description: Profile that the user uses to define priorities for product and resource decomposition SNP optimizer procedure. By assigning priorities, the user can change the sequence in which the SNP optimizer combines products and resources into partial problems and plans them.

• Key Concepts: 
  SNP Priority Profile is a feature of SAP Supply Network Planning (SNP) that allows users to prioritize the order of SNP heuristics. This helps users to determine which heuristics should be used first when planning a supply chain. The priority profile also allows users to assign different weights to each heuristic, so that the system can prioritize them accordingly. 
  
  How to use it: 
  To use the SNP Priority Profile, users must first create a profile in the SNP Customizing menu. This profile will contain the list of heuristics and their associated weights. Once the profile is created, it can be assigned to a planning book or planning area in the SNP Customizing menu. The system will then use the profile to determine which heuristics should be used first when planning a supply chain. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When creating an SNP Priority Profile, it is important to consider the different types of heuristics that are available and how they can be used to optimize the supply chain. For example, some heuristics may be better suited for short-term planning while others may be better suited for long-term planning. Additionally, it is important to consider how different weights can affect the order in which heuristics are used.
