Smart SAP Assistant

• Key Concepts: 
  Deadband is a feature of the MFG-PCO Plant Connectivity component of SAP that allows for the automatic adjustment of production orders based on changes in demand. It works by setting a threshold for when an order should be adjusted, and then automatically adjusting the order when the demand exceeds or falls below that threshold.
  
  How to use it: 
  To use deadband, you first need to set the threshold for when an order should be adjusted. This can be done in the MFG-PCO Plant Connectivity component of SAP. Once the threshold is set, any changes in demand that exceed or fall below this threshold will automatically trigger an adjustment to the production order.
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When setting the deadband threshold, it is important to consider both the current demand and any potential future changes in demand. Setting a threshold that is too low may result in too many adjustments being made, while setting a threshold that is too high may result in orders not being adjusted when they should be.
  
  Related Information: 
  Deadband is similar to other features of SAP such as safety stock and reorder points, which are also used to adjust production orders based on changes in demand. It is important to understand how these features work together in order to ensure that production orders are adjusted in a timely and efficient manner.
