  Key Concepts: 
  Requirement date/time is a feature of the Production Planning and Detailed Scheduling (PPS) component of SAP's Supply Chain Management (SCM) module. It is used to define the date and time when a certain material or product needs to be available for use. This helps to ensure that the right materials are available at the right time for production. 
  
  How to use it: 
  The requirement date/time can be set in the PPS component of SCM. This can be done by entering the desired date and time in the relevant fields. The system will then calculate the necessary production steps and resources needed to meet this requirement. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  It is important to remember that the requirement date/time should be set as early as possible in order to ensure that all necessary resources are available on time. Additionally, it is important to consider any potential delays or disruptions that may occur during production, as this could affect the final delivery date. 
  
  Related Information: 
  The requirement date/time feature is closely related to other features of the PPS component, such as capacity planning and material requirements planning (MRP). These features help to ensure that all necessary resources are available on time for production. Additionally, they help to identify any potential delays or disruptions that may occur during production.
