• Key Concepts: 
  A planning exception is an event that occurs when the system detects a discrepancy between the planned and actual data in the SAP system. This discrepancy can be caused by a variety of factors, such as incorrect data entry, changes in demand, or changes in supply. When a planning exception is triggered, the system will alert the user and provide them with information about the discrepancy. 
  
  How to use it: 
  In order to use planning exceptions, users must first set up the system to detect discrepancies between planned and actual data. This can be done by setting up rules and thresholds for certain parameters, such as demand or supply. Once these rules are set up, the system will automatically detect any discrepancies and alert the user. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When setting up rules for planning exceptions, it is important to ensure that they are specific enough to detect any discrepancies without generating too many false positives. Additionally, users should ensure that they are aware of any changes in demand or supply that could affect their planning exceptions.
