  Key Concepts: 
  Output coefficient is a parameter used in the Planning Framework of SAP's Integrated Business Planning (IBP) for Supply Chain Management (SCM). It is used to define the output of a planning run. The output coefficient is a number between 0 and 1 that determines the amount of output generated by the planning run. For example, if the output coefficient is set to 0.5, then only half of the planned output will be generated. 
  
  How to use it: 
  The output coefficient can be set in the Planning Framework of SAP's IBP for SCM. To do this, go to the Planning Framework tab and select the Output Coefficient option. Enter a value between 0 and 1 to determine the amount of output generated by the planning run. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When setting the output coefficient, it is important to consider how much output is needed for a particular planning run. If too much output is generated, it can lead to performance issues and slow down the planning process. It is also important to note that setting the output coefficient too low can lead to an incomplete plan.
