• Key Concepts: 
  Period pattern is a feature of the Capacity Requirements Planning (CRP) component in SAP. It is used to define the time periods for which capacity requirements are planned. The period pattern is used to define the length of the planning horizon, the number of periods in the planning horizon, and the length of each period. 
  
  How to use it: 
  The period pattern is used to define the length of the planning horizon, the number of periods in the planning horizon, and the length of each period. The period pattern can be used to define a weekly, monthly, or yearly planning horizon. The period pattern can also be used to define a custom planning horizon with different lengths for each period. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When creating a period pattern, it is important to consider how long you want your planning horizon to be and how often you want to plan for capacity requirements. It is also important to consider how much detail you need in your planning horizon. For example, if you are planning for a weekly horizon, you may want to create a period pattern with seven days per period.
