• Key Concepts: 
  A subnetwork is a component of the SAP SCM-IBP Integrated Business Planning system. It is a network of nodes and edges that represent the flow of materials, information, and resources within a supply chain. The nodes represent the different entities in the supply chain, such as suppliers, customers, and warehouses. The edges represent the relationships between these entities, such as transportation links or information flows. 
  
  How to use it: 
  Subnetworks are used to model the flow of materials, information, and resources within a supply chain. They can be used to identify bottlenecks or inefficiencies in the supply chain, as well as to optimize the flow of materials and resources. Subnetworks can also be used to simulate different scenarios and analyze their impact on the supply chain. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When creating a subnetwork, it is important to ensure that all nodes and edges are accurately represented. This will ensure that the model accurately reflects the actual flow of materials, information, and resources within the supply chain. Additionally, it is important to consider how changes in one part of the network may affect other parts of the network.
