What is release horizon in SAP MM-PUR - Purchasing?

SAP Term: release horizon

• Component: MM-PUR

• Component Name: Purchasing

• Description: The point in time up to which schedule lines can be transmitted to the vendor in the current SA release. The release horizon is determined on the basis of the release creation date and the aggregation information in the release creation profile. It is shown in the release as a specific end date. &EXAMPLE& In a scheduling agreement that is valid for three years, a release creation profile specifies that Just-in-Time JIT delivery schedules are to be transmitted to the vendor every week. The release horizon of the release creation profile comprises 10 workdays, so that with each release the vendor is provided with information on your requirements over the next ten days. No schedule lines are aggregated for the first two days. Thereafter, the schedule line quantities are aggregated on a daily basis, so that the requirements for the last eight days of the release horizon are shown as total daily quantities in the release. On Monday 02.15.2001, a JIT delivery schedule is created. According
