• Key Concepts: 
  Fixing is a feature in SAP SCM-IBP-DM Demand Planning that allows users to lock certain values in the system. This prevents the values from being changed by other users or processes. It is used to ensure that the data remains consistent and accurate. 
  
  How to use it: 
  To use fixing, users must first select the values they want to lock. This can be done by selecting the values in the system and then clicking on the “Fix” button. Once the values are locked, they cannot be changed until they are unlocked. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  It is important to remember that fixing only locks the values in the system and does not prevent other users from viewing them. Therefore, it is important to ensure that only authorized users have access to the locked values.
