• Key Concepts: 
  Major interval is a term used in the Capacity Requirements Planning (CRP) component of SAP. It is a time period used to define the length of a production cycle. The major interval is usually set to the longest production cycle in the system, and all other production cycles are then based on this major interval. 
  
  How to use it: 
  The major interval can be set in the CRP component of SAP. To do this, go to the “Settings” tab and select “Major Interval”. Here, you can enter the length of the major interval in days, weeks, or months. Once you have entered the length of the major interval, it will be used as the basis for all other production cycles in the system. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When setting up the major interval, it is important to consider how long each production cycle will be. If you set the major interval too short, it may not be long enough to accommodate all of your production cycles. On the other hand, if you set it too long, it may cause unnecessary delays in production. 
  
  Related Information: 
  The major interval is closely related to other terms used in CRP such as minor intervals and planning horizons. Minor intervals are shorter time periods that are based on the major interval, while planning horizons are longer time periods that are used to plan for future production needs.
