• Key Concepts: 
  Scheduling horizon is a term used in the IS-ODS SAP Order and Delivery Scheduling component. It is the time period in which the system will consider when scheduling orders and deliveries. The scheduling horizon can be set to a specific date range or to a certain number of days. 
  
  How to use it: 
  The scheduling horizon can be set in the system settings. It is important to set the scheduling horizon correctly, as it will determine how far into the future orders and deliveries will be scheduled. The scheduling horizon should be set to a date range that is long enough to cover all orders and deliveries, but not so long that it causes unnecessary delays. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When setting the scheduling horizon, it is important to consider the lead times for orders and deliveries. If the lead times are longer than the scheduling horizon, then orders and deliveries may not be scheduled correctly. It is also important to consider any seasonal fluctuations in demand when setting the scheduling horizon. 
  
  Related Information: 
  The scheduling horizon is closely related to other concepts such as capacity planning and resource planning. Capacity planning involves determining how much capacity is needed to meet demand, while resource planning involves determining which resources are needed to meet demand. Both of these concepts are important for ensuring that orders and deliveries are scheduled correctly.
