• Key Concepts: 
  Check mode is a feature of the SAP SCM-IBP-PLA Planning Framework that allows users to simulate changes to their planning data before committing them. This allows users to test out different scenarios and see how they would affect their plans without actually making any changes. 
  
  How to use it: 
  To use check mode, users must first select the “Check Mode” option from the menu. This will open a new window where users can enter their desired changes. Once they have entered their changes, they can click the “Run Check” button to simulate the changes and see how they would affect their plans. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When using check mode, it is important to remember that any changes made in check mode will not be saved unless the user explicitly chooses to save them. Additionally, it is important to remember that check mode does not guarantee accuracy; it is only meant to provide an estimate of how changes would affect plans.
