• Key Concepts: 
  Target range of coverage is a feature in SAP's Material Requirements Planning (MRP) component that allows users to define the range of materials and components that should be included in the MRP calculation. This range can be defined by material group, plant, or other criteria. The target range of coverage helps to ensure that only the necessary materials and components are included in the MRP calculation, which can help to reduce costs and improve efficiency.
  
  How to use it: 
  To use the target range of coverage feature in SAP's MRP component, users must first define the criteria for the range. This can be done by selecting a material group, plant, or other criteria. Once the criteria have been defined, users can then select the materials and components that should be included in the MRP calculation. The target range of coverage feature can then be used to ensure that only the necessary materials and components are included in the calculation.
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When defining the target range of coverage, it is important to consider all possible scenarios that may arise. For example, if a material group is selected as the criteria for the range, it is important to consider any new materials or components that may be added to that group in the future. This will help to ensure that all necessary materials and components are included in the MRP calculation.
