• Key Concepts: 
  Fixing status is a feature in SAP's Supply Chain Management (SCM) and Integrated Business Planning (IBP) for Retail and Merchandising (RM) module. It is used to indicate the status of a particular item in the supply chain. The fixing status can be either "fixed" or "not fixed". When an item is fixed, it means that it has been allocated to a specific customer or supplier and cannot be changed. When an item is not fixed, it means that it is still available for allocation to any customer or supplier. 
  
  How to use it: 
  The fixing status of an item can be changed manually by the user or automatically by the system. To manually change the fixing status, the user must go to the item's details page and select either "fixed" or "not fixed" from the drop-down menu. To have the system automatically change the fixing status, the user must set up rules in the system that will trigger a change in the fixing status when certain conditions are met. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  It is important to keep track of the fixing status of items in order to ensure that they are allocated correctly and efficiently. It is also important to regularly review and update any rules that are set up in order to ensure that they are still relevant and accurate.
