• Key Concepts: 
  Order-dependent setup time is a feature of SAP Logistics Execution (LE) that allows for the setup time of a production order to be determined by the order itself. This means that the setup time for each order can be different, depending on the specific requirements of the order. This feature allows for more efficient production planning and scheduling, as it allows for more accurate estimates of setup times. 
  
  How to use it: 
  In order to use order-dependent setup time in SAP LE, you must first define the setup times for each production order. This can be done in the Production Planning and Control (PP/DS) module. Once the setup times have been defined, they will be automatically applied to each production order when it is created. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When defining setup times for production orders, it is important to consider any potential variations in the setup process. For example, if a certain type of production order requires additional steps or materials, then the setup time should be adjusted accordingly. Additionally, it is important to ensure that all setup times are accurately recorded in SAP LE so that they can be used for future planning and scheduling purposes.
