  Key Concepts: 
  The Top Requirement Date (TRD) is a feature in the SAP LO-PMM Project Manufacturing Management and Optimization component. It is used to determine the earliest date that a material requirement can be fulfilled. The TRD is calculated based on the material availability, production capacity, and other factors. 
  
  How to use it: 
  The TRD can be used to plan production and delivery schedules. It helps to ensure that materials are available when needed and that production capacity is not exceeded. The TRD can be set manually or automatically calculated by the system. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When setting the TRD manually, it is important to consider all relevant factors such as material availability, production capacity, and other constraints. This will help to ensure that the TRD is accurate and that production and delivery schedules are not disrupted. 
  
  Related Information: 
  The TRD is closely related to the Material Requirements Planning (MRP) process. MRP helps to ensure that materials are available when needed and that production capacity is not exceeded. It also helps to optimize inventory levels and reduce costs.
