• Key Concepts: 
  Checking Horizon is a feature in SAP's Reservation Planning component of the SCM-APO-PPS module. It is used to determine the maximum number of days that a reservation can be made for a particular item. This helps to ensure that the item is available when needed and that it is not overbooked. 
  
  How to use it: 
  The Checking Horizon feature can be accessed in the Reservation Planning component of the SCM-APO-PPS module. Once there, users can set the maximum number of days that a reservation can be made for a particular item. This setting will then be applied to all future reservations for that item. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  It is important to set the Checking Horizon appropriately for each item. If it is set too low, then items may not be available when needed, and if it is set too high, then items may be overbooked. It is also important to keep an eye on the Checking Horizon setting as demand for items changes over time, as this may require adjusting the setting accordingly.
