• Key Concepts: 
  Minimum interval is a feature in SAP's Production Planning and Detailed Scheduling (SCM-APO-PPS) component that allows users to set a minimum time gap between two production orders. This ensures that production orders are not scheduled too close together, allowing for more efficient production planning. 
  
  How to use it: 
  To use the minimum interval feature, users must first set the minimum time gap they want between two production orders. This can be done in the system settings of the SCM-APO-PPS component. Once the minimum interval is set, the system will automatically ensure that no two production orders are scheduled too close together. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When setting the minimum interval, it is important to consider the specific needs of your production process. For example, if you have a complex production process with multiple steps, you may want to set a longer minimum interval than if you have a simpler process with fewer steps.
