  Key Concepts: 
  Selection period is a feature in the Production Planning (PP) module of SAP that allows users to define a period of time for which certain data is valid. This data can include material requirements, production orders, and other related information. The selection period is used to ensure that only the most up-to-date data is used in the system.
  
  How to use it: 
  In order to use the selection period feature, users must first define the period of time for which the data should be valid. This can be done by entering a start date and an end date in the selection period field. Once this is done, all data entered into the system during this period will be considered valid. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  It is important to remember that the selection period only applies to data entered into the system during that time frame. Any data entered before or after the selection period will not be considered valid. Additionally, it is important to ensure that all data entered into the system during the selection period is accurate and up-to-date.
