• Key Concepts: 
  Period split is a feature in SAP's Material Requirements Planning (MRP) component that allows users to divide a single period into multiple periods. This allows users to plan and manage their material requirements more accurately and efficiently. 
  
  How to use it: 
  To use period split, users must first define the number of periods they want to split the original period into. Then, they must enter the start and end dates for each of the new periods. Finally, they can enter the material requirements for each of the new periods. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When using period split, it is important to remember that the total material requirements for all of the new periods must equal the total material requirements for the original period. This ensures that all of the material requirements are accounted for and that no materials are over- or under-ordered.
