• Key Concepts: 
  Exception-based planning is a supply chain planning and control process in SAP that uses exception messages to alert users of any deviations from the planned supply chain. It is used to identify and address any issues that may arise in the supply chain, such as delays, overstocks, or understocks. This process helps to ensure that the supply chain runs smoothly and efficiently. 
  
  How to use it: 
  To use exception-based planning in SAP, users must first set up the system to generate exception messages. This can be done by setting up rules for the system to follow when generating exceptions. Once these rules are set up, the system will automatically generate exception messages when it detects any deviations from the planned supply chain. The user can then review these messages and take appropriate action to address any issues that arise. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When setting up exception-based planning in SAP, it is important to ensure that the rules are set up correctly. This will help ensure that the system is able to accurately detect any deviations from the planned supply chain. Additionally, it is important to review the exception messages regularly and take appropriate action as soon as possible in order to prevent any further disruptions in the supply chain.
