• Key Concepts: 
  Simulate is a feature of the SCM-IBP-PLA Planning Framework that allows users to test out different scenarios and see how they would affect the overall plan. It allows users to make changes to the plan without actually committing to them, allowing them to experiment and see what works best for their business. 
  
  How to use it: 
  To use the simulate feature, users must first create a plan in the SCM-IBP-PLA Planning Framework. Once the plan is created, users can then select the “simulate” option from the menu. This will open up a new window where users can make changes to the plan and see how those changes would affect the overall plan. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When using the simulate feature, it is important to remember that any changes made are not permanent and can be undone at any time. This allows users to experiment with different scenarios without having to worry about making a mistake or committing to a change they may later regret.
