• Key Concepts: 
  Operational Order Plan Horizon is a feature of the SAP Replenishment Planning component (CA-RT-XRP) that allows users to define the time period for which they want to plan their replenishment orders. This time period is referred to as the “horizon” and can be set to any length of time, from days to months. The horizon is used to determine when replenishment orders should be placed and how much stock should be ordered. 
  
  How to use it: 
  To use the Operational Order Plan Horizon, users must first define the length of the horizon in days or months. This can be done in the SAP Replenishment Planning component by selecting the “Planning Horizon” option from the menu. Once the horizon has been set, users can then use the SAP Replenishment Planning component to plan their replenishment orders based on this horizon. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When setting the Operational Order Plan Horizon, it is important to consider both the length of time and the amount of stock that needs to be ordered. If too short a horizon is set, there may not be enough time for orders to arrive before stock runs out. On the other hand, if too long a horizon is set, there may be too much stock on hand and it may not be used efficiently.
