Component: SCM-APO-PPS-MMP
Component Name: Model Mix Planning
Description: Restriction category aimed at limiting the occurrence of a particular characteristic to a certain interval in the form of spaces.
Key Concepts: Spacing restriction is a feature of Model Mix Planning (MMP) in SAP Advanced Planning and Optimization (APO). It is used to ensure that a certain number of days must pass between two orders of the same product. This helps to ensure that the production process is not overloaded with orders for the same product. How to use it: To use spacing restriction, you must first define the number of days that must pass between two orders of the same product. This can be done in the MMP settings in APO. Once this is done, the system will automatically ensure that no two orders of the same product are placed within the specified number of days. Tips & Tricks: When setting up spacing restriction, it is important to consider the production process and how much time it takes to produce each product. If the spacing restriction is set too low, it may lead to an overload of orders for the same product. On the other hand, if it is set too high, it may lead to delays in production.

Additionally, there are many online resources available that provide detailed tutorials on how to use MMP and its features.
