  Key Concepts: 
  Planning duration is a feature of SAP PP-REM Repetitive Manufacturing that allows users to plan production activities over a certain period of time. It is used to define the length of time for which production activities are planned and the frequency with which they are repeated. The planning duration can be set to any length of time, from days to months. 
  
  How to use it: 
  In order to use the planning duration feature, users must first define the production process in the system. This includes setting up the production order, defining the materials and resources required, and setting up the routing. Once this is done, users can then set the planning duration for each activity in the production process. This can be done by selecting the “Planning Duration” option in the “Planning” tab of the production order. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When setting up a planning duration, it is important to consider how long it will take for each activity in the production process to be completed. This will help ensure that all activities are completed within the specified time frame. Additionally, it is important to consider any external factors that may affect production, such as holidays or other events that could cause delays.
