• Key Concepts: 
  Output planning level is a feature of the SAP Supply Chain Management (SCM) - Integrated Business Planning (IBP) - Configuration (CNF) component. It is used to define the level of detail for the output of a planning run. Output planning levels can be used to determine the granularity of the output, such as whether it should be at a product family or product level. 
  
  How to use it: 
  The output planning level can be set in the configuration settings of the SCM-IBP-CNF component. The user can select from a range of options, such as product family, product, or customer. The output planning level can also be adjusted for specific scenarios, such as for a particular customer or product family. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  It is important to consider the impact of the output planning level on the performance of the planning run. A higher level of detail may result in longer run times and more complex calculations. It is therefore important to select an appropriate output planning level that meets the needs of the user without compromising performance.
