• Key Concepts: 
  Master scheduling is a process used in SAP Supply Chain Planning and Control (SCM-SCP) to create a production plan that meets customer demand. It involves creating a master production schedule (MPS) that takes into account the availability of resources, capacity constraints, and other factors. The MPS is then used to generate a detailed production plan that can be used to optimize the supply chain. 
  
  How to use it: 
  To use master scheduling in SAP SCM-SCP, you must first define the parameters of the MPS, such as the desired production rate, lead times, and safety stock levels. You can then use the MPS to generate a detailed production plan that takes into account the availability of resources and capacity constraints. The plan can then be used to optimize the supply chain by adjusting production rates and inventory levels. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When creating an MPS, it is important to consider the impact of changes in customer demand on the production plan. It is also important to consider how changes in production rates or inventory levels will affect other parts of the supply chain. Additionally, it is important to monitor the performance of the MPS over time and make adjustments as needed.
