• Key Concepts: 
  Planning Groups are used in SAP to group materials together for planning purposes. They are used to define the scope of planning and to determine which materials are included in the planning process. Planning Groups can be used to group materials by product type, supplier, or any other criteria that is relevant to the planning process. 
  
  How to use it: 
  Planning Groups can be created in the SAP system by navigating to the Master Data tab and selecting the Planning Groups option. From there, users can create a new Planning Group and assign materials to it. Once a Planning Group is created, it can be used in the planning process by selecting it as a filter when running a planning report. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When creating Planning Groups, it is important to consider how they will be used in the planning process. For example, if a company wants to plan for different product types, they should create separate Planning Groups for each product type. This will make it easier to filter and analyze the data when running reports.
