• Key Concepts: 
  Weekly lot size is a term used in SAP's Material Requirements Planning (MRP) component. It is the quantity of a material that is planned to be procured or produced in a single week. This quantity is determined by the MRP system based on the material's demand and supply situation. 
  
  How to use it: 
  The weekly lot size can be set manually or automatically by the MRP system. If it is set manually, the user can enter the desired quantity for each material in the MRP planning run. If it is set automatically, the MRP system will calculate the optimal lot size based on the material's demand and supply situation. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  It is important to note that the weekly lot size should be set according to the material's demand and supply situation. If it is set too low, there may be shortages of materials, and if it is set too high, there may be excess inventory.
