• Key Concepts: 
  Disaggregation horizon is a term used in SAP Supply Network Planning (SNP). It is the maximum number of days that a SNP plan can be disaggregated into. This means that the plan will be broken down into smaller time periods, such as days, weeks, or months. The disaggregation horizon is used to determine how far into the future the plan should be broken down. 
  
  How to use it: 
  The disaggregation horizon can be set in the SNP planning book. This is done by selecting the “Planning Horizon” tab and then setting the “Disaggregation Horizon” field to the desired number of days. The disaggregation horizon should be set to a value that is appropriate for the planning period. For example, if the planning period is one month, then the disaggregation horizon should be set to 30 days. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  It is important to note that setting a longer disaggregation horizon will result in more detailed plans, but it will also take longer to generate them. Therefore, it is important to find a balance between detail and speed when setting the disaggregation horizon.
