  Tips & Tricks: 
  When setting the time series horizon, it is important to consider both the length of time and the granularity of the plan. If the horizon is too short, then changes in demand or supply may not be taken into account. On the other hand, if it is too long, then the plan may become too detailed and difficult to manage.
