What is time-dependent parameter in SAP SCM-APO-MD - Master Data?

SAP Term: time-dependent parameter

• Component: SCM-APO-MD

• Component Name: Master Data

• Description: Parameter for overriding various values maintained in the production process model PPM: Activity: Override scrap Mode: Override duration variable/fixed, penalty costs Resource: Override resource consumption variable/fixed Material: Override material consumption variable/fixed, penalty costs. Maintenance of these parameters can be planning-version-dependent. A prerequisite for this is that the PPM must be assigned to a model. If planning-version-dependent parameters have been maintained, they have a higher priority than parameters that are just time-dependent. The defined time parameters are dependent on time zone settings. All date specifications are based on time zone settings the system uses time stamps.
