• Key Concepts: 
  Splitting is a feature in SAP Production Planning and Control (PP) that allows users to divide a production order into multiple parts. This feature is useful when a production order needs to be split into smaller parts for different production processes or when the production order needs to be split into multiple orders for different customers. Splitting also allows users to assign different resources to each part of the production order. 
  
  How to use it: 
  To use the splitting feature, users must first create a production order in PP. Once the production order is created, users can select the “Split” option from the menu. This will open a window where users can enter the details of the split, such as the number of parts, resources, and other information. Once all of the details are entered, users can click “OK” to complete the split. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When splitting a production order, it is important to make sure that all of the details are correct. If any of the details are incorrect, it could lead to delays or errors in the production process. Additionally, it is important to make sure that all of the resources assigned to each part of the split are available and ready for use.
