What is JIT call in SAP (PP-FLW - Flow Manufacturing)?

SAP Term: JIT call

• Component: PP-FLW

• Component Name: Flow Manufacturing

• Description: A means of requesting a material from production, or from a vendor. The JIT call is linked to a scheduling agreement. When you sent the scheduling agreement, you sent a forecast to the vendor from material requirements planning forecast delivery schedule.

• Key Concepts: 
  JIT call is a term used in SAP's PP-FLW Flow Manufacturing component. It stands for Just-in-Time call, and it is a process that allows for the production of goods to be planned and executed in a timely manner. This process helps to reduce inventory costs and increase efficiency. 
  
  How to use it: 
  In order to use JIT call, the user must first define the production order and the material requirements for the production. The user then needs to set up the JIT call parameters, which include the quantity of materials needed, the time frame for delivery, and any other relevant information. Once these parameters are set, the system will automatically generate a JIT call when the material is needed. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When setting up JIT call parameters, it is important to consider the lead time of each material. This will help ensure that materials are delivered on time and that production is not delayed due to late deliveries. Additionally, it is important to monitor the JIT calls regularly to ensure that they are being executed correctly.
