We will also show examples of the setup in SAP ERP and SAP APO with the SNP Heuristic. We’ll cover backward and forward scheduling and its setup and implications for SAP ERP and SAP APO. And this setting is a major tool in capacity leveling. Scheduling direction, as well as how far forward in the future and backward is a major determining factor in who production is scheduled.
