What is pegging interval in SAP SCM-APO-PPS - Production Planning and Detailed Scheduling?

SAP Term: pegging interval

• Component: SCM-APO-PPS

• Component Name: Production Planning and Detailed Scheduling

• Description: Time segment around a requirements deadline, containing receipts which, in dynamic pegging, can be used to cover a requirement. Receipts with availability deadlines outside the pegging interval cannot be assigned to the requirement. Dynamic pegging relationships are thus only created within the pegging interval. A pegging interval is product specific. It is defined by entering the maximum variance allowed between the availability deadline and the requirements deadline maximum allowed advance of the receipt and maximum allowed delay of the receipt. From the point of view of a requirement there is a shortage if too few, or no receipts are in the pegging interval. From the point of view of a receipt, there is a surplus if the receipt quantity has not, or has only partly been assigned to a requirement due to corresponding time constraints.

• Key Concepts: 
  Pegging interval is a feature of SAP's Production Planning and Detailed Scheduling (SCM-APO-PPS) component. It is used to define the time period in which the system will search for dependent requirements when creating a production plan. This helps to ensure that the system takes into account all relevant requirements when creating a plan. 
  
  How to use it: 
  The pegging interval can be set in the system settings. It is important to note that the pegging interval should be set to a value that is appropriate for the specific production environment. For example, if the production environment is highly dynamic, then a shorter pegging interval may be necessary. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  It is important to remember that the pegging interval should be set to an appropriate value for the specific production environment. If it is set too short, then the system may not take into account all relevant requirements when creating a plan. On the other hand, if it is set too long, then the system may take too long to create a plan.
