• Key Concepts: 
  Minimum days' supply is a feature of SAP's Production Planning and Detailed Scheduling (PPS) component of the Supply Chain Management (SCM) module. It is used to set a minimum number of days' worth of inventory that must be maintained in order to meet customer demand. This helps to ensure that there is enough stock on hand to meet customer orders without having too much inventory, which can lead to higher costs.
  
  How to use it: 
  Minimum days' supply can be set up in the PPS component of SCM. The user can specify the minimum number of days' worth of inventory that must be maintained for each product or product group. This setting will then be used by the system to calculate the necessary production and procurement orders to ensure that the minimum days' supply is met.
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  It is important to set the minimum days' supply at an appropriate level. If it is set too low, there may not be enough inventory on hand to meet customer demand. If it is set too high, there may be too much inventory, leading to higher costs. It is also important to monitor the actual inventory levels and adjust the minimum days' supply as needed.
