• Key Concepts: 
  Release horizon is a feature of the Sales Scheduling Agreement Processing component of SAP's Advanced Planning and Optimization (APO) module. It allows users to define a period of time in which sales orders can be released from the scheduling agreement. This period of time is referred to as the release horizon. 
  
  How to use it: 
  The release horizon can be set up in the SAP system by going to the Sales Scheduling Agreement Processing component of APO. Once there, users can define the start and end dates for the release horizon. The system will then only allow sales orders to be released within this period of time. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  It is important to note that the release horizon should be set up with enough time for the sales order to be processed and shipped before the end date. This will ensure that customers receive their orders on time. 
  
  Related Information: 
  The release horizon feature is closely related to other features of the Sales Scheduling Agreement Processing component, such as delivery dates and delivery schedules. It is important to understand how these features work together in order to effectively use the release horizon feature.
