  Key Concepts: 
  Internal certification period is a feature in SAP IS-U Device Management (DM) that allows customers to set a period of time for which the device is certified. This period is used to ensure that the device is up-to-date and compliant with the latest standards. The internal certification period can be set for any length of time, from one day to one year. 
  
  How to use it: 
  To set an internal certification period, customers must first log into their SAP IS-U DM system. Once logged in, they can navigate to the “Device Management” tab and select “Internal Certification Period” from the drop-down menu. From there, customers can enter the desired length of time for the certification period and click “Save” to confirm their selection. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  It is important to note that the internal certification period should be set according to the customer’s specific needs. For example, if a customer needs to ensure that their devices are up-to-date with the latest standards, they may want to set a longer certification period. On the other hand, if a customer only needs to ensure that their devices are compliant with certain standards, they may want to set a shorter certification period.
