• Key Concepts: 
  Wait time in SAP Production Planning and Control (PP) is the amount of time that must pass before a certain activity can begin. It is used to ensure that all necessary resources are available and that the production process is running smoothly. Wait time can be set for individual activities or for entire production orders. 
  
  How to use it: 
  Wait time can be set in the PP module by going to the “Production Order” tab and selecting “Wait Time” from the drop-down menu. From there, you can enter the desired wait time for each activity or production order. Once the wait time has been set, it will be taken into account when scheduling activities and production orders. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When setting wait times, it is important to consider the resources that are needed for each activity or production order. If a certain resource is not available, then the wait time should be adjusted accordingly. Additionally, it is important to consider any external factors that may affect the production process, such as supplier delays or changes in customer demand.
