• Key Concepts: 
  Scheduling direction is a feature of the MFG-DM-ME-REO Resource Orchestration component of SAP. It is used to determine the order in which resources are used to complete a task. It can be set to either forward or backward scheduling, depending on the needs of the user. 
  
  How to use it: 
  To use scheduling direction, first select the resource that will be used for the task. Then, select either forward or backward scheduling from the drop-down menu. Forward scheduling will start with the earliest available resource and work its way forward in time, while backward scheduling will start with the latest available resource and work its way backward in time. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When using scheduling direction, it is important to consider the resources that are available and how they can be used most efficiently. For example, if there are multiple resources available for a task, it may be more efficient to use backward scheduling so that all resources are used in order from latest to earliest.
