• Key Concepts: 
  Float after production is a feature of SAP's Capacity Requirements Planning (PP-CRP) component. It allows for the scheduling of production orders to be adjusted to account for any delays that may occur during the production process. This feature helps to ensure that production orders are completed on time and that any delays are accounted for in the scheduling process. 
  
  How to use it: 
  To use the float after production feature, you must first set up the PP-CRP component in your SAP system. Once this is done, you can then adjust the scheduling of production orders to account for any delays that may occur during the production process. This can be done by setting a float after production value for each order, which will then be used to adjust the scheduling accordingly. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When setting up the float after production feature, it is important to consider how much time is needed for each order to be completed. This will help ensure that the scheduling is adjusted correctly and that any delays are accounted for in the scheduling process. Additionally, it is important to keep an eye on any changes in production times as this could affect the float after production value and thus the scheduling of orders.
