• Key Concepts: 
  Offset is a feature in SAP SCM-APO-PPS-RSP Reservation Planning that allows users to adjust the planned quantity of a material to account for differences between the planned and actual quantity. This adjustment is made by entering an offset value, which is the difference between the planned and actual quantity. The offset value can be either positive or negative, depending on whether the actual quantity is higher or lower than the planned quantity. 
  
  How to use it: 
  To use the offset feature, users must first enter a planned quantity for a material. Then, they can enter an offset value to adjust the planned quantity. The offset value should be entered as a positive or negative number, depending on whether the actual quantity is higher or lower than the planned quantity. Once the offset value has been entered, the system will automatically update the planned quantity to reflect the adjustment. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When entering an offset value, it is important to remember that it should be entered as a positive or negative number depending on whether the actual quantity is higher or lower than the planned quantity. Additionally, it is important to remember that the offset value should only be used to adjust for differences between the planned and actual quantities; it should not be used to enter a new planned quantity.
