• Key Concepts: 
  Consensus finding is a feature of the Supply Network Collaboration (SNC) component of SAP's Supply Chain Management (SCM) suite. It is a process that allows two or more parties to come to an agreement on a particular issue. This agreement is then recorded in the system and can be used as a reference for future negotiations. 
  
  How to use it: 
  In order to use consensus finding, the parties involved must first agree on the terms of the agreement. This includes the scope of the agreement, the timeline, and any other relevant details. Once these details have been agreed upon, the parties can then enter their agreement into the system. The system will then record the agreement and make it available for future reference. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When using consensus finding, it is important to ensure that all parties involved are in agreement with the terms of the agreement. This will help to ensure that there are no misunderstandings or disagreements in the future. Additionally, it is important to keep track of any changes that are made to the agreement over time, as this can help to ensure that all parties are aware of any changes that have been made.
