• Key Concepts: 
  Pull interval is a term used in the SAP PP-KAB Kanban component. It is the time period between two consecutive pull signals, which are sent from the customer to the supplier to indicate that they need more materials. The pull interval is determined by the customer and can be adjusted depending on their needs. 
  
  How to use it: 
  The pull interval is used to determine when the customer will send a signal to the supplier for more materials. This signal is sent at regular intervals, which are determined by the customer. The customer can adjust the pull interval depending on their needs, such as when they need more materials or when they need to reduce their inventory levels. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  It is important to set an appropriate pull interval for your business needs. If the interval is too short, you may end up with too much inventory, while if it is too long, you may not have enough materials when you need them. It is also important to monitor your inventory levels and adjust the pull interval accordingly.
